What makes a person emotionally strong?

Managing the stresses of daily life more effectively, and recovering more quickly from challenges and crises when they arise.

Emotionally strong people are able to identify, acknowledge and respect the variety of emotions and know how to transition between emotions, while appreciating the importance of each one.

I think a person's ability to deal with bad experiences and still come out of it as a good person who cares about others' happiness makes them a strong person. Not giving up on others even when others had forsaken you is a really important part of that too I think.

I think the ability to accept that emotions are a natural thing and to embrace them rather than deny them is a key part to being emotionally stable. often when we arent able to express ourselves we erupt ...giving the impression we are emotionally unstable.

They don't let anyone discourage them, they focus on their SELF and their happiness. They focus on getting around a hurdle rather than on the hurdle.

Patience, compassion, being slow to anger and desperate for peace keeping. Being gentle, kind, and giving.

A coworker told me that experience is the only thing that builds character. If you've traveled many emotional paths (good or bad), you'll become more familiar with them. You'll be able to control your emotions before they control you. For example; integrity might not be an easy skill to conquer for most people but the longer we practice being truthful, the easier it becomes. Eventually, it builds us and becomes part of our character/overall persona. Experience makes us who we are.

Embracing your emotions and acknowledging they are there. Not lashing out on others when you feel negative emotions. You can cry, scream, or yell..just not at people who don't deserve it. Communicate instead.

Your experiences. You learn from them, and learn to cope with the emotions that come with them. It takes time, but will come.

Being confident in yourself and your actions is what I've seen can create an emotionally strong individual. It can be hard to do, but learning to accept yourself leads to less self-doubt, and futhermore more pride in your daily life. Learning to love yourself is one of the most important things you can do, and starting by simply taking care and listening to your body is an excellent way to go. There are many other roads you can travel down to start though. Emotional strength comes from you, and if you can find a supportive group of friends and family to back you up, it can be even more helpful. c:
