1. The binary of strong and weak is highly problematic, & must be done away with. Ppl are ppl & have different thresholds & ways of coping.

2. 'focus on work & don't think about it' is another BS notion easier said than done. https://twitter.com/PawanKambojIRS/status/1287569242821283840
When your body is burning up with anxiety & hands trembling you can't focus on work & shouldn't have to cuz you're feeling a certain way and it's upto you to choose how to cope with it. Work is not the solution or ultimate distraction, ppl need to stop preaching this.
Also anxieties manifest & are triggered by several factors that are beyond an individual's control. These are often systemic & structural, also owing to which one come across as 'strong' & another as 'weak'.
It's good & helpful to have discussions around ways of coping with anxiety, but the 'strong-weak' argument is highly problematic & must be rejected.
