I still can't wrap my head around how you can say that all stoics advocate retreat especially Marcus Aurelius says that you need to asses if the fear you have is rational or irrational and if it's rational you have to act. The monster under your bed will not eat your feet when they tangle over the edge not one stoic would say curl up in a ball and ignore it. Except Seneca who would say "What are the chances?" they would all say look if there is a monster and if there is not ignore it.
