stoicism's portrayal in media and why it isnt healthy stoicism

stoicism's portrayal in media today wrongly associates the philosphy with emotional supression and naiveity or otherwise showing only a partial understanding of stoicism itself. In reality, stoicism teaches us to acknowledge our emotions without being controlled by them, and emphasizes rational thinking rather than being naive or apathetic. It promotes resilience when faced with change and distress, and acceptance. but by misrepresenting stoicism, society undermines its potential as an approach to life's challenges.
