What makes a person emotionally strong?

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!
