"It is what it is" works until it doesn't. Then, after you've swept all your problems under the rug for 10+ years, it'll all come crumbling down. The idea that men should not show emotions and should always stay "strong" is one of the most toxic and destructive ideas out there. If you're a guy going through some shit, please know that it's okay to cry, it's okay to feel weak, it's okay to ask for help. Shit often won't go away by ignoring it, it'll come back later to bite you.

In America, asking for help often only results in a lighter wallet and additional related or semi-related stress. " It is what it is " is not only cheaper but offers more peace faster.
