Though however cliched this answer might sound but this is my personal experience :P PAIN makes a person emotionally strong , be it physical pain or emotional ! Pain is not only a great teacher , motivator but also a friend (of sorts) we always get to learn something new out of pain we receive, just to avoid the same pain in future . But it does not end , it keeps coming back and we keep learning from it just to keep it as far away from us as possible . When you have been broken enough times , by enough people, in enough ways - you make that your strength ! and that's how you grow Strong Emotionally :) Life is hard agreed , but it has it's moments too, so let's cherish the good and keep learning from the pain ! Lastly keep smiling because you are more brave than you think :D !

There are, of course, many things that can make a person emotionally strong, but, in my opinion, it is the ability to pick ourselves up after a downfall in life. In my personal experience, it was getting tons of college rejection letters. Yikes. Had my whole future planned and it was crushed so instantly, followed with a breakup. But I knew I needed to overcome that situation and those feelings eventually, in order to grow as a person and be able to be happy again. I didn’t think of how I was unhappy at the time, I thought of how I wanted to be happy again, and I needed to start picking myself up again, in order to be on the right path of achieving that goal. Still working on it❤️💪🏻

There's a popular quote saying: "Remember why you started". Often times, when we are under pressure, we cannot think straight and hence, we become overwhelmed with the simplest things. I got in a new program after completing University. I basically never took a break from school since elementary. I happen to be in one of the most stressful programs at my school and although, I was starting the semester pretty well last fall 2018, my depression kicked in and I started failing every exam. At the end of the semester, I ended up failing my final oral and in this intensive program, if you fail either the theory portion or the oral component, you fail the overall course automatically, even if your overall grade is a passing grade. I spent the last 8 months out of school trying not to feel like a failure. I traveled, worked out regularly, spent time with my friends, family, and most especially, I spent time with myself and this semester, I started school again with a much more positive mindset. All to say that, we all have bad days, we all have daily struggles, but it's how you deal with those situations. Also when you are faced with a situation, think of how you will deal with it. Often times, changing the way we look at a situation can have a positive impact on our overall mental state.

Hm... good questions. Some people seem to be naturally strong. In my opinion, emotionally strong people are usually really empathetic towards others and themselves. And the “themselves” is very important in that case. They came to a good understanding of their feelings and emotions. They consider these are natural and don’t need to be repressed... though it’s more in the way they are expressed that they show their maturity. Emotional maturity brings emotional strength: acknowledging our own feelings and expressing them in a sane way so it doesn’t affect others in a problematic way. Emotions emerge naturally and flow. It’s important to be considerate of ourselves why they happen. We can’t really and shouldn’t try to turn them off. But we can control how we communicate them as best as we can. In the end we’re only humans

Resilience and a suitcase full of lots of options for self care. A reliable support system is key. Community involvement is also beneficial. A set routine is also shown to be beneficial to resiliency. If a person has multiple safe avenues of self expression I believe they have emotional strength. Exercise is also a valuable outlet for emotional strength. Art is an invaluable tool for self expression. Social groups as well contribute to a person’s emotional well being. Some people find great resiliency by using alone time to recoup and heal their emotional and spiritual energy. Love is also integral. Purpose and self worthiness all contribute to emotional strength.

A person is able to come form all life backgrounds and come out emotionally strong, what it means is to be able to handle things in a sense that is helpful to yourself, and those around you. People in this society tend to cover up their feelings, but realistically that’s only harming yourself. Therefore to be emotionally strong is to be the best you can be and express those feelings in a positive way even if the situation is negative and has impacted you negatively. It is okay to not be okay at all times, but in order to come out on top the best thing to do is try, and talk to somebody or reach out for help. A lot of people tend to go through similar situations and one long that you’re not alone is helpful in this community. Therefore, being emotionally strong is being able to cope and handle things and ask for help when needed.

It is mainly a person's ability to deal with challenges and bounce back from them, not how they respond in any given moment. Strong people will do what they say they will do. Emotionally strong people manage the stresses of daily life more effectively, and recover more quickly from challenges and crises when they arise. are less discouraged by setbacks and disappointments. are more adaptable to change. are able to recognize and express their needs. focus on getting around a hurdle rather than on the hurdle itself. can learn from mistakes and criticism. tend to see the larger perspective in a challenging situation. are able to recover more quickly from emotional wounds such as failure or rejection.

I think it's different for everyone but going through difficult times makes you strong. Conquering your fears and putting yourself out there makes you strong. Doing things you didn't think you could ever do, and pushing yourself to your goals. Every struggle a person overcomes allows them to learn about what they are capable of. Every time a person tells themself - I can't do this, the eventually find a way to cope by digging within and finding the inner strength to do it, I really believe we are put in difficult situations so we can discover who we really are - without some of my worst times I would have never attempted to try in life. I pushed myself because I had no choice, and I'm so glad that I did. Sometimes you can't see the good in the terrible things - but going through terrible times helps you appreciate the good ones so much more.
