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?
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
Time to shine?
There's always old mate at work who has a good one-liner.
"The shit jobs are the good jobs" (everyone knows it's a rubbish job so they'll cut you some slack)
"Sometimes your the fuckor & sometime your the fuckee"
"Weeeel, that's a shitter"
"Maybe kick this one back to the brains trust"
And so on
