Stoicism: the endurance of pain or hardship without a display of feelings and without complaint.

It's a philosophy of how to deal with a shitty situation
Ask an aspiring stoic sage anything about the philosophy

Can we ask about your personal life?
>>
>>29112956
I don't see why not, as long as it relates to the philosophy some how
>>
>>29112936
is there anything worse than someone taking pity on you? like when someone says they feel sorry for me i just fucking despise it.
>>
>>29112996
How often do you get laid, if ever?

Philosophically of course

>>29112936
I would like for my life to be stoic as a trait.

where do I start, I have always wanted this.

I have the book Meditations by Marcus Aurelius. I am not finished reading it. Should I finish reading it?

Not OP, but yes, you should. The best translation is Gregory Hays

I hate it.

By OP's definition, I suppose I could be considered a stoic. I've had a worse life than anyone I've directly met (not trying to brag or anything, god no) and I dislike talking about my personal life or about myself. Only a very small handful of people I know irl know specific personal details about me. Even then, I'll sometimes get "I'm sorry" or similar remarks which is why I tend to remain quiet about myself when I interact with people. I've even had people stop associating with me after revealing certain facts about myself or my past. All I can assume is that I'm a constant reminder that the world is not made of rainbows and sunshine, and supreme normalfags cannot handle that.

Stoicism is pointless. It's not really something you can learn. You either are stoic or you're not. Take it from a black-pilled INFP. For some people it just doesn't work.
>>
>>29112936
How can I use my unbreakable neet stoicism as a weapon?
>>
>>29112936
Why haven't you embraced Epicureanism instead?
>>
>>29114244
Its already a weapon. You are hurting yourself with it everyday

>>29112936
this guy's really salty at you for some reason
