Cowboy up.

Get your boot straps out the dirt.

Cryers don't get healthcare.

(Okay I'm running out of Americanisms)

It's telling someone to stop being emotional.

I'd say it's telling someone to focus on a task at hand

[–] Maggoty@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah but if that task isn't something that someone's life depends on turn it's a pretty dick move.

Like "I need to lock in and finish this essay" sort of thing

[–] Maggoty@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You can ask for an extension.

Is there context here that I'm missing? I'm confused

[–] Maggoty@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Yeah an essay isn't an emergency. Telling someone they have to stop crying is physically and mentally harmful. So doing so without some on going reason they absolutely have to stop is a dick move.
