What makes a person emotionally strong?

I think the ability to accept that emotions are a natural thing and to embrace them rather than deny them is a key part to being emotionally stable. often when we arent able to express ourselves we erupt ...giving the impression we are emotionally unstable.

They don't let anyone discourage them, they focus on their SELF and their happiness. They focus on getting around a hurdle rather than on the hurdle.

Patience, compassion, being slow to anger and desperate for peace keeping. Being gentle, kind, and giving.

A coworker told me that experience is the only thing that builds character. If you've traveled many emotional paths (good or bad), you'll become more familiar with them. You'll be able to control your emotions before they control you. For example; integrity might not be an easy skill to conquer for most people but the longer we practice being truthful, the easier it becomes. Eventually, it builds us and becomes part of our character/overall persona. Experience makes us who we are.

Embracing your emotions and acknowledging they are there. Not lashing out on others when you feel negative emotions. You can cry, scream, or yell..just not at people who don't deserve it. Communicate instead.

Your experiences. You learn from them, and learn to cope with the emotions that come with them. It takes time, but will come.

Being confident in yourself and your actions is what I've seen can create an emotionally strong individual. It can be hard to do, but learning to accept yourself leads to less self-doubt, and futhermore more pride in your daily life. Learning to love yourself is one of the most important things you can do, and starting by simply taking care and listening to your body is an excellent way to go. There are many other roads you can travel down to start though. Emotional strength comes from you, and if you can find a supportive group of friends and family to back you up, it can be even more helpful. c:

When they can find something to celebrate or be thankful for, no matter the situation. It's always good to count your blessings.

I believe emotions are brainstorms.. If you take into consideration that these are brain storms then you would automatically be able to deal with your emotions and control it.. A person can be emotionally strong due to not one but many reasons , one being experience as well.. They might have been subjected to similar conditions before such that it doesn't break them anymore and they have become resilient to any of such conditions now..

I'd say it's their ability to recognise when they need help and reach out for it. Everyone's more resilient than they think, really, in terms of dealing with emotional problems, but the most resilient people are those who build up a support system around them so they have people to rely on when things get tough. After all, no one's supposed to be able to get through life alone!

I think everyone is strong emotionally, as every single person has had a hard time and it all depends on how much you care about certain things. Being emotionally strong means you don't give up.

Trying to not give a damn about the little things that are making people down and looking forward to more positive things, making yourself emotional stable

Unfortunately what has made me emotionally strong is having a number of emotional trials that have happened to me.

When they can face situations that may be harmful head on. They don’t let negativity being them down and come between them

Pain. Once you experience it and overcome it, you eventually become strong and would be able to risk anything without the fear of getting again .

Emotional Resilience - the ability to bounce back from setbacks in our lives - makes us emotionally strong. It's not carrying on regardless or not getting upset but being in touch with our emotions and our needs and feeling comfortable feeling and asking for our needs to be met. It isn't not needing help - it's being able to reach out for help when you need it. It's not having no weaknesses it's being aware of them and playing to your strengths. It's those who experience problems and hardship but find a way through that become emotionally strong - not those who never breakdown.

In my opinion, what causes someone to gain emotional strength, is experience, cleaverness, acutely conscious. All of the above work together to form the solid foundations.

I believe a person is emotionally strong, when he/she dares to be vulnerable and honest with him/herself. Knows it is OK to have positives AND limitations.

Being able to talk about feelings and revealing our hurt/pain to others instead of acting a victim or blaming others.

People usually think that makes someone emotionally strong is the ability to never break down. To me, someone emotionally strong is someone who, even though they deal with hard things, still manages to survive it. Everyone deals with things and break downs. Picking yourself up afterwards is what makes you strong.

Feeling grateful every day of your life for what you have and what you achieved; appreciating yourself for who you are; never taking anything for granted; enjoying every moment, even the little things; doing what you love and loving what you do; reminding yourself that you are never alone, because there will always be someone like you, someone who cares... This is what makes a person strong.

Many things: believing in yourself and believing that you are capable of achieving what you set your mind to and absolutely anything at all. Basically a strong sense of self-worth is a huge first step. But also being able to control your emotions is one of the steps too.

3 Things have made me emotionally strong and I have seen them work well in some of my friends too. 1. Regularly working out. It ensures that no matter how things are going, you are feeling good some of the time and caring for your body. Also, caring for the body enables you to care for your emotions so much better. 2. Meditation. Practicing meditation for 6 months though challenging at times, has taught me the skill of watching my emotions and thoughts go by without getting so caught up in them. It helps you approach life from a much more grounded perspective. 3. A good night's sleep. This might be the most important one. A good night's sleep flushes out all of the excess chemicals from your body and brain and gives you a fresh start to the day. Performing just one of these as a regular habit can really help you step up your emotional game and be even more emotionally strong. I hope that helps!

To me, it's the ability to acknowledge that negative emotions and events happen (together with good ones). When you learn to work through them and not hide, you become stronger.

Going through good and bad times and continuing on. Understanding and believing that bad times don't last forever, life is on a merry go round.

Resiliency is what makes us emotionally strong. Taking care of ourselves physically and emotionally by practicing good eating, sleeping, and exercising habits while also building good relationships can build up our strength to handle difficult situations.

Practice,therapy, identifying and understanding themselves and the issues they are facing. It is various and different to each person. for someone to be emotionally strong they need to get pressure or challenges that would build their mentality stronger . Having supports and people guiding them through it would help them to survive and cope with their struggles :D

It's not about strength. When we think of strength we think about being able to endure and act as if things don't bother us. This actually makes things worse from my experience. I think it's more about adaptability. We have really unhealthy relationships with our emotional aspects that are in fact causing many of the problems we are facing. To adapt is to be completely aware of all emotional aspects within you and being able to find security, solace, and joy within them.

I think what makes you really strong emotionally - courage, acceptance, and a larger perspective on the challenging situation.

a good balance of family support, friends, positive spiritual belief system, enjoyable hobbies and interests, a working place that feels safe and is tolerable, and a strong inner belief system
