Stoicism: Ancient Greek & Roman Practical Self-Improvement Philosophy

[Gali]

What is a stoic person?
Being stoic is being calm and almost without any emotion. When you're stoic, you don't show what you're feeling and you also accept whatever is happening. The noun stoic is a person who's not very emotional. ... Someone yelling, crying, laughing, or glaring is not stoic.

Seems quite close to confucianism I guess.

The main concepts of this philosophy include Ru (humaneness), righteousness, propriety/etiquette, loyalty, and filial piety, along with strict adherence to social roles.

How so? Confucianism is about respecting hierarchy and authority and filial piety, and living for your family and parents, and not yourself. Stoicism is not about that, it's about enduring through the ups and downs of life by not taking things seriously and staying in the eye of the hurricane. They are not alike. Stoicism has some stuff in common with Buddhism though, but not Confucianism. See below.

the Stoics, whose philosophy was formed not in the refuge of a garden but in the open market of the Athenian agora, this kind of retreat into a private morality made no sense. They felt that the fullness of virtue encompassed our social roles and duties and involved justice as more than a mere byproduct of some utilitarian social contract.
