What are the characteristics of a mentally strong person?

  1. Not chasing validation from other people. Self-validation is what truly matters to them.
  2. Trying to rationalize their problems. They don’t allow negative or overwhelming emotions to overshadow their judgment.
  3. Seeing constructive criticism as a valuable feedback. An opportunity for growth and personal development.
  4. Not getting riled up over unconstructive criticism (or trying not to). Because someone who is taking their time just to say something negative to another person is neither worth the mental energy, nor the time of the emotionally strong people.
  5. Embracing adversity. Emotionally strong people regard the hardships of living as necessary elements of life, leading towards a stronger and wiser version of themselves.
  6. Having an optimistic or positive mindset. If your inner world is already gloomy or dark inside, even the sun shining for you everyday won’t be able to cheer you up.
  7. Not allowing the fear to paralyze them.
  8. Keeping in mind that one’s mistakes does not define them.
  9. Focusing on finding solutions instead of endlessly crying over their problems and blaming everyone else for them.
  10. Remaining grateful. Nothing shatters a person inside like always directing their attention on what they lack while completely ignoring what they have.
