Is getting upset from someone's comments weakness, is being happy weakness? Is yelling at someone a strength or saying F$ck the world a strength? Is taking a verbal punch and not doing anything about it weakness or strength? Is yelling back or retaliating defensive and weak?
Could someone clarify when someone is being "weak" Thanks!
Also, how do you conquer weakness if you don't know you are being weak, or don't think you are? Does it mean you are weak because someone else said you were, or is it just weak to believe them?

Weakness in personality is not knowing yourself and not having a sense of your own strengths, weaknesses, likes, and dislikes. You will develop strength when you think about who you really are, what you really want, and what you can and cannot tolerate in life. Also, learning to deal with your emotions without being controlled by your emotions will give you strength.
As far as the scenarios you present:
Being happy--strength
Yelling at someone, saying "Fu$k the world"--weakness (being controlled by emotions)
Taking a verbal punch and not doing anything about it--weakness(The person doesn't have to see you doing something about it, but even if you don't say anything, you should think about whether this is part a destructive pattern, and whether you should avoid this person. Just thinking about it is doing something.)
If someone tells you that you are weak, they might be telling the truth but they might be trying to manipulate you in some way. Consider their motivations and try to look at yourself objectively.
I think that strength of personality is developed over time as a result of experiences in life. It is always a good idea to try to strengthen your personality in a way that will improve your interactions with others. Positive people with strong personalities have greater strength to help themselves, and also to encourage and help others. You may want to seek out positive friends with strong personalities to serve as role models.
Just because people have strong personalities doesn't necessarily mean they are good. Stay away from negative and/or
draining people with strong personalities--they may be dangerous, or even psychopathic.

I think getting upset at comments means you are human.
Weakness comes from not being able to look at comments and deciding if their is any merit to them and if it is honest feedback, try to learn and grow from it. It doesnt mean accepting comments at total face value or not standing up for yourself.
I think happyness is accepting yourself for who you are, flaws and all but being able to make changes when you need to and say you are sorry when there are times when you do yell back when perhaps that wasnt the best course of action.
In your heart you usually know whether a comment has value to it, it is not weak to admit that you make mistakes amd want to improve. The challenge becomes when you hear too many negative things about yourself and then you start to believe it. Dont let anyone take away your sense of self-esteem, after all at the end of the day it is only others opinions and only you know what is right for you.

You can't conquer weakness if you don't know that you are weak
yelling back won't do you no good Ignore what have been said is the best read a book, leave the house take walk or something
don't drain your self because of words, don't worry be happy

There is no weakness. A precieved weakness can easily become you strength depending on the situation.

Sounds to me like this other person is weak.. Anyone can raise their voice and be angry,.. takes a stronger indivdual to not give up even when things are difficult. when the world seems to be fighting you on your road to success. Be determined, by wavering on what you know to be right and wrong you show a weakness,
i forget who said this but this comes to mind "when the going gets tough the tough get going" Meaning those that act tough like your friend are likely to give up when things are getting difficult to him in life... the stronger approach is to fight threw the difficult times and not give up

Weakness is a state of mind. Weakness is not standing for what one believes in. Weakness is not believing. Its certainly not what others think or believe.
All too often, kindness is mistaken for weakness.
I think that says it all.

Inconsistency. Not having your own personality and just gleaming it from others. Not having a balance.

weakness is to me being afraid to show the world who you are and trying to always please everone but yourself....trust yourself; your character is your strength
