I find the """man up""" school of thought generally works for me when faced w a tough situation but 97% of the time it's presented as an obnoxious show of bravado. What are better ways to phrase this? - eviltoast

like, if i’m feeling bad but force myself to do something, i usually feel better. how to maintain the usefulness of this advice without presenting it as ‘fuck your feelings’, in that usual arrogant right wing sort of way

    Sometimes feelings are good, sometimes they get in the way and it’s best just to do what you need to do.

    “Embrace the suck” Or “Fuck it, let’s just get it done” work for me without feeling like it’s invalidating half the population.
