    I wouldn’t be able to stand up for others as effectively if I hadn’t been at least somewhat hardened by the bullshit and bullying by now.

    Unfortunately HTFU is valuable advice in a lot of blue collar spheres. When I give it I typically caveat that it’s only a shell, and you have to remember how to take it off.
