Sounds like you’ve misunderstood stoicism as a concept, but curious how you approach life post-stoicism?

  The person i responded to is misunderstanding it the same way when he is building taboo around word victim. As for what after, it would be complicated to answer. I am changing attitudes toward more activity, more willing to show up anger or other emotions when not showing them is the passivity road.

    FYI I'm the same person, and I'm not building a taboo around the word victim. Stoicism doesn't advocate for you to be less active. Again, you're misunderstanding the base definition of stoicism. This is much of the same argument I hear about buddhism over here where people somehow think it's a religion of nihilism. Be a victim or more angry or whatever you like, but it's not going to provide solace, meaningful help or generally better outcomes to you in any situation, plus other people will respond less effectively to it.
