Absolutely. I wound up with HIV at the age of 22. Came out of the closet at 18 and my mother disowned me for a year. I struggled with addiction (cocaine, weed, booze, and such) most of my younger life and finally got clean at 25. Getting sober is really hard I tell ya! These things have made me stronger. I would be a sloppy mess if they hadn't.

Most definitely. One of my best friends lost her Mum when she was 9, her Dad when she was 16, she was bullied at school, she put up with abuse from her brother who became a drug addict, she lost her Nan recently and she's now coming to terms with the fact that her boyfriend has Cancer. Sometimes i look at her and i'm amazed because she never stops smiling and she lives life to the full. I used to think that if everything that's happened to her happened to me, i couldn't cope in the way she has. But i now realise that that's not true. She is the person she is because everything that's happened to her has made her a million times stronger. People who haven't been through very much in their lives cry over the most silly things or can't cope when something bad, but not the end of the world happens. So yeah, that to me is the only proof i need that what doesn't kill you makes you stronger.

As a general statement, I disagree. It may be true for some... maybe even most people when they face adversity and hardships, but I remember seeing a video of a guy who was suicidal and and blew himself up while in his car. It didn't kill him, and left him with severe burns over most of his body. A little while after he began his recovery, he killed himself anyway.
Well... maybe it IS true, and the definition of the word "stronger" is subjective. It may not be yours or my idea of strength, but the guy in the example I gave became a stronger person in that he succeeded in doing what he had previously failed to do.

Definitely...I'm 16 and I had a baby a month ago. I'm back at school now so I'm up most of the night with my daughter, then I'm at school all day, missing her like crazy and exhausted, I come home and have a cuddle with her if she's awake, then do hours of homework all evening, then feed her, bath her and put her to bed, then have my dinner, finish my homework and go to bed to be woken up a couple of hours later. It hasn't killed me yet and it's definitely made me stronger :)

I believe that we are given what we can handle and that everything is a lesson to be learned.
If you learn from that lesson, you are a stronger and wiser person.
Some people, however, get too stuck on the negative and they never overcome those situtaions and in turn become weaker.

Mais oui, madame, after what may have almost killed you, did not succeed - you are left with two options to pick from.
Stand up and go, bruises and all ...
Or stay on the mat, devastated by the crippling effect.
I choose the former . . .

sometimes.
it depends on how strong the person was in the first place though.
to be made stronger, you have to be able to cope. and depending how you cope can influence whether you become weaker or stronger.
we may not become stronger.
it could just be a complete front.

Yeah .. I think you get more fragile at first but afterwards you build another skin that makes you stronger and less naive x

No i don't think it (or it didn't for me) makes you stronger because it hurts you, maybe it gives you insecurities which stay with you for years depends what happened.
I do think it makes you wiser, you learn to avoid situations/types of people.

no remember if or not they elect to be approached, or left on my own is many times the version between approachable and not approachable. each and every physique could desire to be approached in a hypothetical concern, not all circumstances are hypothetical however. maximum folk %. up on while somebody needs to be left on my own, and while they experience like coming near human beings, they many times permit human beings understand by utilising coming near human beings.
