Ancient greek stoicists didn't retreat from social duties. The core virtues of stoicism are the opposite of what you wrote.

They would take part on actions against injustices. But they would try to be guided by reason rather than emotions.

I dont see how anything I said disagrees with stoicism?

My beef is with the pop philosophy idea of 'your happiness is your choice'.

Apologies. I thought you took the previous comment as a definition for what is stoicism.
