Non-Stoics get upset all the time over things they can’t control. The Weather, politics, what others think of them; all things they waste their precious time and mental energy fretting over.
A Stoic knows it is silly to waste their time worrying about things they cannot control. They put things that happen to them into one of two buckets: What they can control, and what they cannot control. They act on the things they can control. They accept the things they cannot control.

Similar ideas to 1 — They don’t worry about things they have no control over.
Mentally strong people recognize that they don’t need to please everyone all the time. They’re not afraid to say no or speak up when necessary. They strive to be kind and fair, but can handle other people being upset if they didn’t make them happy.
