are you a strong person?

Question

i am not actually i am very weak but i believe things are sent to try you and i will get stronger over time

what about you are you stronger/weaker now than you were

Answer 1

I am very weak at the moment. I am trying to get stronger, but things keep knocking me down further and further. I am receiving counselling to help me sort out traumas that have happened, so maybe that might make me stronger in time.


:-)))

Answer 2

You are right. Things are sent to you to try you and over time you will become stronger. Every person you meet whether for five minutes or years can teach you something. I have had a lot of things happen to me starting with sexual abuse as a young child. Through help of doctors and an EA group I learned to overcome some of the related problems that I carried through life. I could be pushed and manipulated easily. I was extremely shy. Now, over the years I have become more of a whole person. When I was shy and insecure I used to think everyone was talking about me. How self centred is that. Now I realize they have better things to do and if I now walk down the street and see people laughing, instead of thinking they are laughing at me, I wish I could have heard the joke they were talking about. Yes I am much stronger now.

Answer 3

I am strong and have been strong for several people. As for being strong for myself ,I had a breakdown a few yrs ago. Since then I have had some suicide attempts and have been in and out of the hospital. I want to say its made me even stronger but to be honest Im more tired because of it. Its when I get tired that I do weak things.

Answer 4

I think it depends on what you are having to deal with and is not a matter of being a strong or weak all the time so much as strong in some situations and weak or weaker in others.

Answer 5

After some of the things that life has thrown at me I believe that I am a much stronger person. I used to be bullied as a child and now I don't let them get to me. I have spent time in the army and have been through alot which certainly tried me, but I am strong now.

Answer 6

I used to think I was a weak person but after a lot of bad things have happened to me it turns out I am rather strong minded after all, i agree things are sent to try us and they certainly make us a lot stronger.

Physically I am not so strong and am a bit of a wimp

Good luck with the emotional weights of life xxxxx

Answer 7

I never knew if I was really a strong person. But over the past few years I've had to go through so much pain, and then being told I have to live on oxygen the rest of my life. I guess I've proven to myself that I am strong, because I never considered suicide (which is the most selfish thing a person could do)and I'm still here enjoying life. I think I have to give most of the credit to my wonderful husband. Interesting question. I'll give you a star for that one. Thanks.

Answer 8

Who's to say what 'strong' or 'weak' is.
From being little I was taught that not showing my emotions made me strong or I was weak if I gave up trying to achieve something.
My experiences have shown that the moment I start to measure myself in these terms, I am moving away from just accepting myself as I am and starting to live by other people's perceptions of how I should be.
These days I refuse to measure myself in this way and have found myself less anxious and happy to accept myself just as I am. Imperfect and happy.

Answer 9

You didn't specify what kind of strengths or weaknesses, so i'll go with STRONG, maybe that's just wishful thinking on my part, but i don't consider myself a weak person, that would make me sound - "weak"..But not in a bad meaning way..Hope that makes since..

Answer 10

Ok for some of you she's talking about emotionally...('',) anways for me it depends...sometimes i'm strong and sometimes i'm weak. When my minds up against something i'm strong and when its my heart i'm weak. Unless your depressed then you're very weak. But other people can be your strength for you. like my sister who helps me fight my fears and whenever i feel insecure she gives me big hugs so i feel secure. If you have someone like her then you're the strongest person you can be and can fight anything or anyone that/who steals your happiness. ('',) good enough ansa 4 ya?
