Emotional suppression to look unbothered in front of others is vanity, from a stoic perspective, and it means you didn’t understand anything about stoicism.
Aurelius understood his emotions and even expressed them, as is natural to do, he just advocated that one should have control of them. Equanimity, which is a concept that transcends stoicism.
You are preaching the fucked up “bro” version of stoicism which advocates to “shove down all your emotions and never express them”. This is incorrect, maybe actually read meditations and Epictetus’ Discourses and The Enchiridion instead of disrespecting the philosophy with this misleading bullshit that encourages unhealthy behavior.
