What makes a person emotionally strong?

I believe everyone may have different answers to what makes them emotionally strong, but personally I think that an emotionally strong person is someone who controls their emotions and actions and not the other way round . What helps is to not allow external factors, and people around us to impact our emotions, they are not us and they shouldn't get the right to dictate our feelings . So it's important to be in control of our emotions, not allow others ' actions determine our emotions and not let these get to us . It is not easy to prevent this , but it's needed we realise what's good for us and what is pulling us down . Another really great trait of an emotionally strong person, is that they don't keep things bottled up , they allow their feelings and emotions to flow , they accept those and take their time to let go and move on . So it's also important we have good relationships with people around us, and specially be kind to ourselves .

I believe what makes a person emotionally strong is that they had have tough experiences in their life. They had to have gone through the good, bad, and the ugly in their lives to see what is best for them. Sometimes experiences are ugly, but experiences is what shapes us. We typically learn from our mistakes. Sometimes maybe not the first time around, but life is about trial and error. You have to take risks in order to find what you are desired for in this lifetime. Life is only what you make of it. Don't let anyone stop you.

i personally think that emotional strength consists of the following: 1) being able to self-assure and validate your own emotions. acknowledging them and not minimizing them is huge 2) being able to fully feel them and likewise, address them. not fighting what you feel, really allowing yourself to feel them, and then taking a step back to ask yourself where they came from, etc 4) not letting your emotions overly-dictate your actions. gaining control over your reactivity. Being able to step away from a conversation or situation and come back to it when you're calm is also an indication.

Knowing that eventually "emotions" do pass.. That doesn't mean you ignore their value. Do come to accept and understand them, while knowing that they will pass, just like various seasons of nature.

Being emotionally strong means you are able to identify how you feel. You know what to avoid that makes you uncomfortable, so you walk away safe and sound!

most of the time emotional strength comes hand in hand with experience and being able to deal with situations, it is something that takes much time to strengthen and varies from person to person, but it can be achieved with practice and strong mental will power.

Oftentimes, it is adversity which makes a person resilient. A balanced mindset is a big part of this too. Choosing to surround ourselves with warm, strong people that we admire always helps, because we become like the people we surround ourselves with.

Experiencing things that can really break you, and wanting not to break, no matter what. Your will gives you strength and that makes you emotionally strong. But you really need to believe and know that you don't want to break

I think what makes someone emotionally strong is adversity. The things they have faced in life and being able to handle criticism.

The strength to keep trying after a failure, loss, or setback is what makes someone strong. It's not whether you fall, it's whether you get back up.
