Stoicism

Stoicism is just a bad coping mechanism

I'm good at making mistakes. Sometimes I improve, but I never make the same mistake twice.

Stoicism focuses on changing only what you can control, which imo is a good coping mechanism.

actual stoics believe in determinism and do not distinguish between external and internal events.

this is cringe because according to stoic logic everything is fate and *it is what it is* which is a really bad thing to say as we can control lots of things in our lives, and our reactions to various events.

I see the idea of 'amor fati' as loving fate in the sense of what has happened, not about being passive with respect to what has yet to come. 

Here's a proper quote and source:

If by actual stoics you mean the original sources, not all "determinism" is made equally.

"...we can control lots of things in our lives" 
Epictetus agrees.
