It’s great that you’re thinking critically about these ideas. The trichotomy of control is something modern Stoics (like William B. Irvine) have popularized, but traditionally, Stoicism is based on a dichotomy: things in our control and things outside our control. The ‘influence’ category adds a middle ground that many argue isn’t necessary and even contradicts core Stoic thinking. That said, if it helps you personally, it might still be a useful mental model!</blockquote><br> Cancel F.A.Q About The Forum How To Create an account Change Your Nickname on the Forum How to change your profile picture
