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

I usually tell myself to "suck it up". Especially if it's something I know I will benefit from.
Makes me think of penis in mouth
It does beg the question of where did that phrase come from and what exactly are we sucking up. Maybe it is a penis, I don't judge. But also, what if it's a delicious cake?
If you have to suck your cake up then it doesn't sound delicious to me, it sounds raw
So you're saying I can lick the mixer clean?
Really weird way to phrase that if talking about a penis....unless you're talking about a flaccid one which is even more weirdly specific.
If that is what one frequently sucks, one probably would think that.
I don't suck enough of it these days
Well suck it up
