What makes a person emotionally strong?

When they can find something to celebrate or be thankful for, no matter the situation. It's always good to count your blessings.

I believe emotions are brainstorms.. If you take into consideration that these are brain storms then you would automatically be able to deal with your emotions and control it.. A person can be emotionally strong due to not one but many reasons , one being experience as well.. They might have been subjected to similar conditions before such that it doesn't break them anymore and they have become resilient to any of such conditions now..

I'd say it's their ability to recognise when they need help and reach out for it. Everyone's more resilient than they think, really, in terms of dealing with emotional problems, but the most resilient people are those who build up a support system around them so they have people to rely on when things get tough. After all, no one's supposed to be able to get through life alone!

I think everyone is strong emotionally, as every single person has had a hard time and it all depends on how much you care about certain things. Being emotionally strong means you don't give up.

Trying to not give a damn about the little things that are making people down and looking forward to more positive things, making yourself emotional stable

Unfortunately what has made me emotionally strong is having a number of emotional trials that have happened to me.

When they can face situations that may be harmful head on. They don’t let negativity being them down and come between them

Pain. Once you experience it and overcome it, you eventually become strong and would be able to risk anything without the fear of getting again .

Emotional Resilience - the ability to bounce back from setbacks in our lives - makes us emotionally strong. It's not carrying on regardless or not getting upset but being in touch with our emotions and our needs and feeling comfortable feeling and asking for our needs to be met. It isn't not needing help - it's being able to reach out for help when you need it. It's not having no weaknesses it's being aware of them and playing to your strengths. It's those who experience problems and hardship but find a way through that become emotionally strong - not those who never breakdown.

In my opinion, what causes someone to gain emotional strength, is experience, cleaverness, acutely conscious. All of the above work together to form the solid foundations.
