Here's the thing. If you're resistant to seeking help, you look for excuses not to seek it.
Elliot wants to believe he can get past his anxieties without actually having to face them.
So even if he's not one to tell others to just "man up" or "get tougher" he's more than willing to convince himself that's what he needs to do in order to not have to face his problems. Because, sometimes, well, it's a big ask to give yourself the same benefit of the doubt you give everybody else.
Sorflakne:
IMO Elliot's friends need to step up and offer to help him through this, rather than him seek professional help.

I don't know, but if Yay thinks it went away after the 1950s, they haven't been paying anywhere near as much attention to the world as we've all been led to believe.
Farideh:
I just looked at the comic again and realized that I made up my previous statement. Elliot says he need to 'toughen up', and combined with Yay's 1950's comment, my brain turned it into 'man up'. Sigh. Between this and today's Wordle, my brain really isn't my friend today.

From Renée's dialogue, it sounds like at least dome of them already have.
[I can never remember ehich of the e's the tick mark goes over. Is it Reneé or Renée? Or does the final e ust serve the purpose of implying thr accent mark?]
