Being able to recognize they're not feeling well and taking action to improve their situation is the mark of someone who is emotionally strong. They can identify the signs of being unstable in themselves or in others. For instance, being able to see and admit that a friend said something hurtful shows mental intelligence and strength. Then, doing something about this information is the second half of emotional strength. Along the same example, healthily expressing criticism to that friend and being able to get the weight of their chest simultaneously is the mark of someone who knows themselves and is emotionally well.

being able to let your emotions out, being able to cry and talk to someone about what you're dealing with. The ability to understand what's causing them pain and still being able to talk to someone about it. Sometimes getting through the day even if you've done nothing means you're emotionally strong. Being able to survive another day, Because being emotionally strong isn't just getting over whatever the situation was but it's surviving another day, completing a task as small as getting out of bed, brushing your teeth, making the bed, and even showering. Everything you do for yourself whether it's small or big makes you emotionally strong. Being able to love people unconditionally with your whole heart, makes you emotionally strong.

I don't think that there's an objective measure for everyone to be judged against as to whether or not they are emotionally strong, because everyone will have different opinions about how to measure that. My personal opinion is that it's about how you feel within yourself; I would say that reflecting on how you feel and learning to understand and accept your emotions is really important. Knowing you are valid in your emotions and learning to process them - you can cry all the time and still be emotionally strong! Regardless of the emotion you're coping with, coping with it is strong!

I think that what makes a person emotionally strong is their capacity to reflect on things, analyze them and learn from them. It is the resilient component of us human beings. When something impacts us I think it's important to really think about how we felt as a result of it and what our main takeaway is. Then to act on it. To apply to our life experiences and in our relationships with others. To take steps and measures to advocate for ourselves. To hold our personal boundaries. And to listen and act on our moral compass in all situations.

Being emotionally strong can mean a lot of things. It can mean that you do not take things personally and have a tough shell. It can mean that you have survived through the ugliness that has come your way and persevered and overcame those challenges. Or it can mean that you have higher emotional intelligence and are able to recognize what others may need to best help them at the moment, and those close to you will likely look up to you for it. Whatever it means to you, congrats, and keep doing great things! Keep helping others as much as you can!

When they are being there for someone when they need someone the most. helping others with hinge even they are struggling themselves, and truly caring for people when it doesn't help them in selfish ways. A person is emotionally strong when they go through hardships and still count the joys in life. even though things are difficult they put on a smile for the rest of the world to see that they are happy. They become happy for others to have motivation. They are there for people in need. They dont let hardships beat them. they always have a will to fight and are ready

I my opinion an emotionally strong person is adaptable to change, learns from criticism and from their mistakes while they don't let their mistakes let them get discouraged. I think they have the ability to see the larger perspective in a challenging situation and have the skills to recognize and express their needs. They are able to identify and control their feeelings and not let their feelings control them, which doesn't mean they can't get frustrated or angry, wanting to blow up, or sad, depressed and break down from the weight on their shoulders, but they are quick to bounce back more quickly from emotional wounds such as failure or rejection.

Emotional strength does not mean that one does not cry. No emotional strength is understanding that you can get through every situation by managing yout emotions appropriately. What makes one emotionally strong is knowing that you can express your feelings in a way that leaves everyone around understood. You should know that it's okay to feel your emotions the way they are instead of suppressing them this doesn't help you. This helps you to be emotionally strong. If you want to be emotionally strong you could also try to speak to someone about how you feel. Instead of just letting everything stir inside you.

What makes a person emotionally strong is being valued and listened to because we all crave that as people. So once someone gets valued they will feel emotionally strong. For example if a person comes to seek for help and they are ignored the first thing that comes to there mind is that they are not valued and they feel disappointed. Like the person they were expecting to listen to them belittled them they are going to feel pathetic that is why in order for someone to be emotionally strong, they have to feel valued and complimented about what they do.

being emotionally strong doesn't mean that you won't break down during stressful and difficult times. It means that you know the importance of follow-through and will be there during the bad times even more than the good times to work through the situation. There is no blaming, no threats, just honestly dealing with whatever situation you have going on, and knowing that there are times when you are going to have to look for help from others and allowing them to be helpful. Listening to other's advise and thinking honestly about it and deciding if a new perspective may help.
