What makes a person emotionally strong?

An emotionally strong person is not someone who never cries or never feels upset. An emotionally strong person accepts that they are upset, and finds a positive in the situation.

Being strong, deflecting life' slings and arrows, helping others and caring for themselves as well.

When the person controls the emotions just before loosing the cool. It might be holding your anger, and letting go, it might be holding your cry when you are about to shed tears.

Someone who is less discouraged by setbacks and disappointments, more adaptable to change, 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.

Three things. 1. Not depending on others for one's own happiness and joy in life. 2. Having the ability to see one's own flow of thoughts and emotions and not getting too tangled up in either 3. Being able to forgive and move on.

Some people go through the emotions and come out strong knowing that they made it through and it did not kill them.

Knowing that there's a time and season for things. When you're going through certain aspects in life you're growing and when it comes to pass (ends) you've harvested. You can never be in one position for a graduate amount of time without gaining nor learning something from it

One word answer: Understanding and acceptance. You gotta understand what is what, and see situation logically. And if logics don't fit into it, you need to accept what's going on rather than resisting it.

Someone who is resilient and doesn't give up when things get tough. It's a sign of strength when you pick others up no matter your own emotional state and even if they've hurt you at some point. A strong person won't envy or seek revenge or get jealous or try to take the easy path, strength is holding it together when everyone expects you to fall apart.

A person who's emotionally strong doesn't let their feelings and emotions take over their thoughts and actions during a time where they could be struggling or stressed out. Someone who stays calm is emotionally strong. Another type of emotionally strong is being resilient and able to bounce back from any challenges and not letting it tear you down and take over. Another way to be emotionally strong is to be able to accept who we are, accept our life circumstances and know how to work with it to achieve more even though it's difficult. That's the definition of emotionally strong :)
