Learned helplessness would manifest differently than stoicism. In LH you don't take clearly good (for external observer) opportunities because you believe it will all end badly anyway.
- im3w1l 9y agoHow can the stoic be so much more knowledgeable about whether the opportunity will work out or not?
- badpun 9y agoThe stoic may have imperfect assesment of the opportunity's true value, but in LH the assesment is way more off - it's basically always zero for all opportunities.
- im3w1l 9y ago> Research has found that a human's reaction to feeling a lack of control differs both between individuals and between situations. i.e. learned helplessness sometimes remains specific to one situation but at other times generalizes across situations.[6][8][9]
