Redditors just lack the emotional literacy to understand that coping can be a really good thing that helps you live your life. They see themselves as super rational and logical because feelings are for stupid women, so they think their negative feelings are not actually feelings at all, but objective facts. In their minds, distracting themselves from their negative emotions is distracting themselves from reality.
And again, they think feelings are stupid, so they’re never gonna go out do their way to learn about mental and emotional health. So maybe they haven’t even really heard of the concept that (healthy) coping is a good and important skill to have, idk. They probably think they’re too smart to go to a therapist or read a self help book or anything like that.
