Aside from vaguely knowing that it exists, I've never really known much about the belief system / philosophy of "stoicism." I started reading a book recently that references it.
Since then, I've noticed one or two times that it has a pretty negative reputation in some circles. Like, if I search "stoicism" as a tag here on Cohost it's mostly people dunking on it. I also saw someone in an article dunk on it just now before writing this. Are people who are really into stoicism generally considered cringey or unbearable? Is it kind of like a libertarian kind of situation? Or like a...scientology or cult situation?
I've read the Wikipedia article and stuff like that but I'm curious if anyone has run into anyone online who "practices stoicism" or anything like that.
