Sometimes “Suck it the fuck up” is good advice, sometimes it isnt. Sometimes “Process this later” is healthy, sometimes it isnt.
Emotional health is knowing what you need and when.
I’m a huge fan of embrace the suck and cut slingload
“Embrace the suck” is a big one for me. I work outdoors and unless the weather is dangerous you still have to get it done. So when proper shit weather hits I just laugh now because while its going to be terrible its going to be an experience.
Like that time I did 10 hours in 40c heat during a dust storm, wearing a respirator. Worst day ever… hell of an experience though.
I honestly read this and until I saw the comments I assumed they were gaming and she locked in league champ select which is a valid time to cry seeing as youre about to play league.
I genuinely lold. I also still kinda miss lol
Told my 5 year old to cry quietly once… cried louder.
What does ‘lock in’ mean in this situation?

Cowboy up.
Get your boot straps out the dirt.
Cryers don’t get healthcare.
(Okay I’m running out of Americanisms)
It’s telling someone to stop being emotional.
Gen Z slang for saying “get it together and focus”
Ah ok, thanks.
Where I’m from a lock in is a pub illegally serving drinkers after time by locking the doors.
Lock ins were all night parties for kids when I was growing up. Parents in 80s USA, wow.
Could be both…?
Undoubtedly, apologies if it was understood that I spoke as the sole arbiter of lock ins.
Its terrible advice. Crying is good for you.
Crying is good for you. Lighthearted encouragement and camaraderie is also good for you.
Eh, it depends on the situation. There is definitely a time and place for locking your emotions down. Most people will never need it though.
Maybe for the sake of maintaining social status, sure, but that’s a sacrifice. Its just straight up physically unhealthy to stifle crying however.
Cry all day then for maximum health?
I don’t feel healthy :'(
Cry harder?
I think the middleground between toxic masculinity and overly emotion dumping femcels is a great target.
wtf did I just read
Idk dude, idk.
