How worth is studying stoicism?

[Kalki Avatar]

Is there any real stoic here? 

How has stoicism improved your life? 

What are your practices?

Stoicism is great for learning how to discipline yourself and live by values regardless of how you feel.

Many redpill people say that studying stoicism helped them deal with tough times

For people with spiral dynamic blue shadows, it's great. Teaches you to abide by rules, discipline, integrity. Many people skip over this nowadays, but it is the foundation for a lot of things needed to live a good life.

Personally It hasn't helped me and I didn't like the after effects it left. I was personally using Stoicism as an escape, missing out on human connection because I was pretending to be a strong stoic guy, complete bullshit. Don't become someone cold and lifeless. 

I strongly advise against it, there are better fields of study. Integrity for example, strong Integrity will teach you more about Masculinity and discipline than Stoicism ever could. it requires time and introspection though.

Stoicism will make you less sensitive, less emotional. which is... not a good thing...

I think that's basically the buddhist way of life.  Not bad, not great.

Imho most of the insightful aspects about stoicism are also contained within Buddhism, with the main difference being that Buddhism actually has a practical methodology for training the mind to overcome self-destructive tendencies, something that stoicism lacks.
