Manning up is a good philosophy. People who say otherwise are either downers or don’t know what they’re talking about.
That said, you need to look after yourself and seek help when you feel you need it. But know when to stop whining and choke down the pain. Many people feel that seeking help means being open about your emotions and telling the world your problems… but most other men and some women will only see you as a whiner or kind of a bitch.
Overall, manning the fuck up is a pretty good coping mechanism for dealing with great pain in life. It’s somewhat similar to the act of letting go of anger and frustrations (turning the other cheek). It’s similar to things like “embracing the suck”, where you’re in a situation that sucks, but you understand it and embrace it. You know that it sucks, you know that you have limited control over making it suck less, and you say “fuck it we ball” rather than dwell on the fact that your life sucks.
