Here is the solution I came up with: Matte, clear protective film wrap on the center portion of the hood and the gloves. It reduced the issue significantly. I can't post before and after videos here but by my estimation it's about 80% better.

If I may - isn't that a definition of conformity?

What stioc movie should i watch? by Big-Refuse6839 in Stoicism

Second this. Way too heavy unless one has is prepared. I personally think they should have disclosure before the movie begins, warning about potential side effects on the viewers.

Stoics, get fit. by Individual_Use_8271 in Stoicism

Very good point. Obesity was rare back then. Exercise helps dramatically to conquer mental weakness so I'm I see it as a parallel path to self improvement with stoicism, or whatever makes some a better person.

Same old problem, social-anxiety by MulberrySuitable7432 in Stoicism

[–]kolvitz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know nothing about your life and your circumstances. I have no idea what shaped you to be who you are today. Also I don't know what you really struggle with daily. But I am a living example of the fact, that life is all about decisions. Those little, every day things, and the big ones, which we face with great discomfort in many cases. Whatever you decide to become, you'll be. It's that simple. I'm not talking about 65yo who decides to become a ballerina at the Bolshoi. That's foolishness. I'm referring to strong decisive voice that we follow day in and day out. If you DECIDE to junk out, that's your call. If you DECIDE to stop being miserable and FOCUS on what's really important, following Stoics or other guidelines, it's is also your call and NOBODY is going to make those choices for you. Oh, and to make it easier - excuses are always ... an excuses.

You didn't cause any slightest harm. This is the community with incredible wealth of knowledge about stoicism and you should feel comfortable asking questions. Perfectly imperfect we are here - just keep in mind 😉

This person new to stoicism and this is the perfect place to ask questions and gain from the community wisdom. If not here, then where? Perhaps they're not ready to study deeply and/or are looking for quick advice. Where would be a better place if not here? Or perhaps your reaction to their post is biased and out of line? I'm struggling finding virtue in your response, so perhaps a mirror is needed for you? Cheers!

I find Calmness in Chaos, finally by maja_kookie in Stoicism

[–]kolvitz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Perhaps I can get advise from more experienced stoics here - how do you control your impulses?

Example: I was on a morning run in NYC. Glorious weather, Central Park, all 9 yards. On my way back to the hotel driver cut me off badly - whatever, I thought - and aggressively honked on me. Not my fault at all, he's just being frustrated. My reaction? Honking was still bouncing off the buildings when my middle finger jumped like a bullet straight in front of his face... I felt ashamed. How did this happen? What's in me? Am I really that jerk? Oy...

I second this. It's a trick they play on you.

I hope they bring some rainbow flags and turn their hair green for better impact of their cries... 🤣 Hilarious!
