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!
