Elaboration?

Sure, thanks for asking. Stoicism is about control of our minds but we should pour our hearts out to others. The mind and the heart are most congruent.

I don't have a complete idea of stoicism myself but I heard that stoicism is about "not caring about the things we cannot control". We can advice people and offer to help them which is in our control but others changing and getting help are in their hands.

There's this difference of knowing when it's time to care, It'll take time to know and understand.
