My biggest problem with stoicism is that it teaches you to not worry about things out of your control, but doesn't give you the full toolset to actually make that happen. Those worries often take place outside of our conscious control, and we end up just building defenses on top of them to try to tamp them down, rather than addressing the underlying fears directly.
Maybe pure stoicism does actually give you those tools, but the modern "McStoicism" that everyone seems to go on about really feels lacking to me.
