What makes a person emotionally strong?

An emotionally strong person is a person who is able to show his emotions without fear. It is opposite from what we all learn as children in this culture. Strong people do not show their emotions. Actually the opposite is true. Those who can show their emotions are probably stronger than those who do not. By hiding your emotions you limit yourself by your feelings. By hiding yourself from your feelings, you are not capable of finding a good relationship or maintaining a good relationship. It  becomes a vicious cycle. Those who hide their emotions end up finding another way to express it in forms of overeating, eating disorders, alcohol abuse, drug abuse, or any type of addictive personality. It can also be released in forms of working too much (workaholics) or other behaviors. We need to be aware of our emotions. Those who have pent up emotions sometimes explode in the worst way. I like to cry when something bad happens but most people I know do not even want to see others cry. I like to laugh when I am happy but I know there are people who are upset at my happiness. So I keep it hidden so I can cry and laugh because I need to release my emotions and that is what  makes me emotionally strong.

An emotionally strong person is someone that is strong enough to not need validation from others for their actions. An emotionally strong person feels confident in their abilities and is able to take charge in their life. They are able to get feedback or have thoughts and not let those affect their own opinion, thoughts or mood. This person knows that they can succeed with whatever life throws in their way. They meet challenges with rational thoughts and behavior and can handle these tasks without getting overwhelmed. An emotionally strong person understands that while life throws some struggles their way, they are strong enough to overcome every single one.

People with emotional strength are in touch with how they're doing and what they need to function at their best. They eat healthy foods, sleep well and know how to manage their stress well. They're solution-oriented. People with emotional strength know that things will go awry. They're the one who doesn't let a person get to their emotions and make them sad or angry and can be calm and control their emotions during a stressful time or situation. Being aware of your emotions and making a conscious decision to share those emotions with others – when it's socially appropriate to do so- can be a sign of strength.

A person that is emotionally strong is someone who is willing and open to discuss their emotions with others; good or bad. A few years ago, I was in a relationship where my significant other asked me to share my emotions and feelings with her. During this time, I was fighting depression and anxiety surrounding other life decisions and at first I was afraid to talk to her about those thoughts. As I grew to know and trust her, I became more comfortable and started talking through what was going on in my mind. I asked her to share her feelings with me as well, but I felt as if she wasn't sharing her true feelings with me. A couple of months passed and she ended up breaking up with me. Not truly understanding the reason, I asked her why she did. Her response was, "You're too emotionally weak for me". This response hurt me. It hurt me for longer than I wanted it too. However, after time, I realized that someone who is willing to open up their heart to others is actually the emotionally strong one because they can comprehend and express their emotions to others. Showing your emotions does not mean you are weak, it means you are comfortable with yourself and those type of people are the ones who can truly show empathy to others.

Emotional strength is a largely relative concept. Many people think emotional strength means not showing emotion, but this isn't necessarily the case. Additionally, every person feels things differently and in varying intensities. So, just because you are reaching an emotional threshold, that doesn't make you emotionally weak. You would have to consider the magnitude of emotional force under which you are yielding. After all, it is easier to resist a spray bottle's force of water than a tsunami's. Emotional strength is more about having the fortitude and courage to try to face, understand, and manage your emotions, rather than mask or hide or reject them.

Keep motivating oneself and repeating your goals in life. Whenever a person feel low-key . He or she need to keep thinking about their goals in life and keep motivating himself because anyone can suffer from any kind of mental sickness, emotional distress and about those mentioned stuff make them feel emotionally strong . people can suffer from adhd, depression, phobia, grief, anxiety, ocd, bipolar mood disorder, personality disorder , schizophrenia, etc. Sometimes they just need someone to listen them carefully. They don't need advice they don't need solutions they just want someone to empathesize them and just listen them carefully.

I would consider myself to be emotionally resilient due to my tough experiences. Emotional strength, in my opinion, is typically not something that happens overnight. Like working a muscle, it takes consistency and time spent in discomfort to gradually build resistance. I'm not saying that everyone must suffer in order to build emotional strength - but to by allowing ourselves to sit in the discomfort of our emotions for awhile, without immediately fleeing to our coping mechanisms, the feeling eventually subsides. In summary, what makes a person emotionally strong is the strength and will to endure emotional discomfort and accept that it is apart of life and growing.

Clarify about self and surroundings makes one emotionally strong. Sometimes we have to accept things as they occur and be realistic about everything that goes on within us and outside of us. Any loss in our lives is a also part of life which we need to accept. Accepting things the way it is makes us emotionally resilient. We all need to be positive and learn to see the brighter side of any issue. We all need to be optimistic which gives us the confidence that we can build in ourselves. Each of us has the potential to be strong and confident if we stay positive.

To make a person emotionally strong is to know that you are okay, it can be challenging, what you feel is okay and seeking help when you need it does not make you weak. Seeking help helps to establish you now that you want to feel better and you know that getting help is not a sign that makes you weak it makes you strong and help to relieve your stress. An emotionally strong person also sets and knows their own boundaries when it comes to certain things and have found ways to healthily cope with their situations.

What makes someone strong is to be able to open up, and not put up a front. It takes a lot of strength to talk about how you truly feel. Being silenced about your feelings is something I have experienced, and I want people to know that they are not alone. There is always someone here for you, you just have to look hard enough. You are strong and worthy of your own feelings and emotions💕
