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.
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”
Ok… So maybe this is a dumb question, but is it helpful to hear that when you’re having a hard time?
i think it could be, depending upon circumstances. likewise, i think it could also be actively harmful (depending upon circumstances).
God you guys sure like to make assumptions. This place is already shaping up to be like Reddit🤣🤣🤣🤣
Is that not how discussions work?
Discuss discussions, not straight up speculation
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.
Usually in churches right?
libraries sometimes too. basically an overnight in a non-residential space?
My parents went to them at skating rinks where they would take their skates off and dance on the rink. They called them sock hops.
Could be both…?
Undoubtedly, apologies if it was understood that I spoke as the sole arbiter of lock ins.
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
Its terrible advice. Crying is good for you.
Crying is good for you. Lighthearted encouragement and camaraderie is also good for you.
After all the stories about how male authors can’t do realistic female characters, someone reversed it and asked how could you instantly tell if it was a woman describing a man.
The book ‘The Outsiders’ is about a bunch of tough guys who spend a lot of time talking about their feelings.
Stay gold, Ponyboy. (Wow, that name aged strangely.)
Stay rizzed, everypony
I think the middleground between toxic masculinity and overly emotion dumping femcels is a great target.
