What makes a person emotionally strong?

It's not about strength. When we think of strength we think about being able to endure and act as if things don't bother us. This actually makes things worse from my experience. I think it's more about adaptability. We have really unhealthy relationships with our emotional aspects that are in fact causing many of the problems we are facing. To adapt is to be completely aware of all emotional aspects within you and being able to find security, solace, and joy within them.

I think what makes you really strong emotionally - courage, acceptance, and a larger perspective on the challenging situation.

a good balance of family support, friends, positive spiritual belief system, enjoyable hobbies and interests, a working place that feels safe and is tolerable, and a strong inner belief system

Resilience. Being a emotionally strong comes from going through rough patches, these rough patches seem to be awful things (and they are at times) but they build resilience in people.

Their past, how they grew up, and just basically the type of person they are. I personally believe I am an emotionally strong person, but I had a not so great childhood. If someone else had my past, they could become an emotional wreck or be strong like how I am

Being positive! Unfortunately this isn't easy but with the right attitude, support and food (ice cream), this keeps you emotionally strong

Someone who is tolerable/has a certain level of resilience to negative experience that could otherwise traumatize others makes one "emotionally strong." Or, someone who has healthy coping mechanisms to negative situations.

To me, someone who is emotionally strong is able to handle situations without letting their emotions get the better of them. Also someone who can identify how they're feeling and why they're feeling this way.

Because they care. They care about others, sometimes too much that they forget about themselves. No one should feel bad because they are emotionally strong--it is what makes each of them a kind heart and it is what makes them stronger everyday.

Resilience is what I think is the biggest thing that makes a person emotionally strong! Also a strong self-esteem!

Wow this can be 1000 reasons. People who can do this normally can handle stress very well in life. They are less discouraged by setbacks. Adaptable to changes in life. They learn from mistakes and can take negative feedback. There are many reasons why someone can be emotionally strong.

Recognizing and naming emotions is a big part of controlling them. If you cannot identify how you are feeling it is harder to be self aware and to learn from them. Strength comes from knowing your weaknesses and how to cope with them.

This is a challenging question because emotionally "strong" can be defined in different ways. I have learned that being emotionally strong is being able identify my emotions, accept them for what they are, and work through them. We live in a society that challenges this definition though. There are many stereotypes that often lead people to ignore their emotions which only leads to problems building up like shoving an item into a closet, a closet that will eventually get overloaded and messy. It is okay and even brave to show emotion and to work through them. Things such as crying aren't a weakness but rather a strength. It takes courage and bravery to be strong and face how we are feeling and use our experiences to make us a better person.

That is a very open question, usually it depends on the person but personally it's the ability to not let problems push you down and to adapt to any challenge you might face in life.

To be emotionally strong you have to accept your emotions. You have to take a look at how you’re feeling and if you need help you have to accept it. The only way to become better with them is to try to understand them better. Understand yourself better.

An emotionally strong person for me is someone that is able to accept their emotions without judging themselves on them.

I think when they are able to acknowledge what they feel and embrace it instead of denying it and learn how to cope with it.

Repetitive positive affirmations along with replacing fearful thoughts with the powerful ones is a good way to start

When they are able to understand that all emotions are normal and healthy to some extent, and it is through conscious adaptive processing and addressing of these emotions that we show our mental strength. Furthermore, people show mental strength through their ability to face negativity, whether it be people or events, work or personal life - and overcome it, to know that not every day can be wonderful and perfect, but that it'll pass and life is still worth living for those better days that eventually come along. Lastly, emotional strength can be seen in how a person treats others - their ability to understand that they cannot please everyone, that they shouldn't have to - and to respond carefully to such critique in a way that imagines the other person complexly and kindly, even when that person hasn't shown such kindness too you.

is this even a question? some of the people out there dealing with the most dont realize how emotionally strong they are. Being emotionally strong comes in such a array of ways, aside from not needing a relationship to be happy, or the ability not to cry once and a while. We needs to find and identify our strengths and learn and grow from each other, even the most emotionally strong and or strong people have weak moments and when we learn from past situations they can better help prepare us for what is to come in the future. Emotionally strong, is also being able to control our emotions in the most heated of situations and when under intense pressure to get things done, everyone developes characteristics of being and becoming emotionally strong everyday with everything we deal with that makes us want to pull our hair out and quit. We know ourselves the best, even a person who recently cried about something to deal with their emotions is an emotionally strong person. If anything it is how we choose to react to a situation that life presents us with!

Love is the purest thing in the world, the only one that gives ys strength to overcome our own limits. Self love is very important. Loving your significant other. The summer breeze. The ocean. The aurora borealis. The mountain landscape. Everything that surrounds us should be loved and appreciated. We just need to open our hearts. To discover how beautiful is this short life that we have and hold on to it as much as we can because what's more beautiful than blossoming as a human being and making the world a better place? Love gives us strength. Love is always the answer. The only one.

Confidence and love is what makes a person strong. Love them and they gain confidence , when they are confident about themselves they will love themselves and those around . So accosting to me love and confident goes simultaneously. It is like a process where one is nothing without the other or we can say one supports the other . In one way of the other. With love comes kindness , goodness and happiness . In fact all virtues we look for in people around and all virtues we should have within us at all times. So spread love.

An emotionally strong person has gone through many hardships and has learned how to(somewhat) navigate their feelings. Almost like you teach yourself how to deal with them & keep them in your grasp. Going through hardships, physical & mental illnesses, family tragedies; even the loss of someone. It’s not so much that people are emotionally strong, it’s just more about learning how to somewhat control them. I’m not saying it’s always going to work, but any step in a direction you WANT to go towards is an amazing one. Have faith in yourself & never give up on finding that self love.

A person who is emotionally strong isn’t necessarily someone who never cries and keeps their emotions within. It’s someone who acknowledges all their pain and emotion and deals with it, whether they need to rant about it and tell someone or if they need to cry and break down a little bit. Either way, they’re acknowledging their struggles and they’re coping with it, which is extremely brave and they must be incredibly emotionally strong to be accepting their pain, welcoming it so they can deal with it and overcome it so they get to a point where they no longer feel the pain.

This is a very tough question. As there is no right or wrong answer. Emotionally strong could be someone who takes care of their mental health. It could also be someone who is immensely happy. There are so many definitions to this. A person may be emotionally strong because they journal all their thoughts and feelings. They may care greatly about themselves. They may take charge of their health. An emotionally strong person may be someone who cares for other people while caring for themselves. They may live for themselves. They may go above and beyond to fine their happiness

Emotional strength is a very individualistized characteristic. For some people, emotional strength is being able to identify and process their emotions and figure out what their feelings are telling them. For others, emotional strength is not letting their emotions overwhelm them or prevent them from doing things. To me, emotional strength means allowing yourself to feel your emotions and experience them instead of invalidating your feelings or trying to diminish them. When I worked on being emotionally strong, I also worked on allowing myself to reach out for help when I was overwhelmed, and worked on having the emotional intelligence to know when my feelings were becoming too much for me to handle alone, and when to back away from an emotional situation or conversation. Emotional strength is, in a way, about self-care and figuring out how to best care for you when you are experiencing powerful emotions.

For a huge part of my life, I was just sad and angry. The smallest things set me off. Even when I knew the things I was crying over or getting angry over were so silly, I couldn't control myself. I always felt vulnerable and had a lot of defenses. And then there came a turning point in my life and it was life changing and painful and heart breaking. For two years I kept mainly to myself and explored the depths of my soul and by the time, I had to step in to the world again, something had changed in me. I had recognized my shortcomings, mistakes and weaknesses. I accepted myself, tried to overcome some shit and ofcourse it's not easy to make everything right. I ended up making peace with who I was as a whole, faults and all. Now I feel grounded. I still breakdown sometimes but I know that I can get over most things in life. I have become open minded, understanding and empathetic. So I feel a person who is emotionally strong loves themselves and has the ability to accept others the way they are.

It all depends on what being emotionally strong means to you. From a life coach perspective, I would say a person is emotionally strong when they are balanced in their life. They are able to support others while maintaining their own emotional health. They are the person you can count on when you need them, but they also know their own boundaries and can say no without feeling guilt. Another sign is knowing how to empathize with others without losing your own self in their troubles. You feel for them while understanding that you are not responsible for their problems, only for supporting them through the problems.

Experiences are what makes a person emotionally strong. You can't be emotionally strong if you've never gone through a tough experience. Experiences are what shape our lives and how we choose to live them as humans. When you go through hard times, you often come out the other side stronger. Whether physically or emotionally or otherwise. Defining what makes a person emotionally strong isn't a science. Different people can be emotionally strong in different ways. What is extremely painful for one person might be an average day for another. What's important is to know everyone is going through something, so treat everyone with kindness.

I believe that what makes a person emotionally strong is their ability to persist. Think of yourself as a flame, one that flickers and dies down but continues to burn nonetheless; sure, at times you may ebb to a light so dim you're unsure as to whether the fire is still going, and it may make you think lesser of yourself... but you'll come back. The quality of resilience is something that many find admirable, and it's not without reason. There will be times when you feel as though the world is trying to snuff out your light, but if you persist you'll find that there's more. That's what I think makes a person emotionally strong. It's human to come to a standstill, but it's also human to trudge onwards.
