Reply to comment by TheCanadian1867 in Anyone who’s read “12 rules for life” by JBP finds it so harsh and unforgiving? by newbalancewearer

If you are willing to think, consider this: stoicism and the philosophy of living through pain fits very well with people who are disconnected from their feelings and bodies. They get a reason why it's the right move, and why connecting would not help.

Almost all the guys who are into JBP have very limited connection to their bodies and feelings beyond basic elements (that are clearly coded as safely masculine, no salsa or tango dancer stuff).

Well, yes. I’m like that, so stuff like that speaks to me. Don’t really have a deep connection to my body or feelings. It’s a personality thing, I’m more of a thinker than a feeler.
