are you a strong person?

I'd have to admit that I am not a strong person. Or I will say I was not a strong person in 2012. This year 2013 I plan to change that. I want to make it my goal to be a stronger person and not let my emotions take the best of me and not let people see my weak side or see me cry.

If part of being strong is not to let others know about your weakness, Then Yes! I am not strong in that part. As some of my friends and most of my family members, whom i trust, know my weakness .

I can say i am strong in the sense that i dont want to cry but i usually failed. The nature of being woman always win. To pretend that i am strong is never happen to me in real as i begun to cry and weak to face the problem. In other aspects i can say yes im strong and never to defeat of sadness. This is in front of my kids. But the most weak part of me is when it comes to love. This is the reason why i cant ta[ke my license exam on my course :) i took first my lovelife rather than this, anyway there is a reason why i need to do this thing coz i cant also concentrate on my studies. See this is the weakness... But on the other part i am strong specially on decision making. I am always on the go once I think next i want to implement.

Me i would say i am a strong person. None of my family or friends see my weakness. If i do cry coz there are times that is too much already then we need to let it out through crying. I cry when im alone and no one even noticed. And everyone of my friends and family see me as a happy person they don't even noticed i have a problem. Just be true to yourself and there is nothing wrong with it. it's just part of of life.

I think of crying as a way of filtering you soul. I view crying with and in front of others as a strength. I do advise that you have to be careful whom those others are. The wrong person may view crying as a weakness based on his/her values. What I assess and sometimes need to get help with is am I wasting time crying too long about something instead of getting back into a positive mindset. I had something happen to me two days ago and I felt like crying all day. Day one I did, day two I cried off and on and took care of some business in between to help me get my mind off of my troubles. I knew I didn't want too much time wasted on "spilled milk" as they say and then look up and have not gotten into the solution. You have presented strength by providing self disclosure in your post. We all have limitations we just need to find the tools and techniques that will help us keep those limitations from becoming a barrier to personal and professional growth. Progress not Perfection!

I'm a guy who doesn't mind anything i am really happy about anything and never a pessimist i am an optimist i really thing good of everything you should live your live happy-ly i mean have fun in everything .., xD

I am a strong person - but it is a fake strength, a hard shell I have to work to maintain. A way for me to avoid crying. You, see I am really a sensitive person who is always wondering about other people's motives. I don't like to get to close because that puts me at emotional risk. When I do get hurt or fooled, I either ignore the feeling or show my temper. Both appear "strong" on the outside and don't make me look weak or show that my "tough" skin is really just imitation steel. It's not healthy and I'm working on it. :)

I am not a strong person when it comes to holding my emotions because I burst out and cry even when there are people around. I even hate it because it is embarrassing to shed even a tear in public. But I think I am strong when it comes to bearing the extreme effects of the hurt without complaining and trying to look for ways to resolving it. Yes, that is what you should do. Asking ourselves and God why will not help solve our misery. It might just put you down more if any action isn't taken.

i believe everyone has their own strengths and weaknesses. And we should also know about our weak point. but we dont have to show it to others. I am sure you will have many good things / habits in yourself. try to develop the inner you and see the change. Some decisions make us strong but we do make mistakes as well. judge, think and decide, you will have happiness around you.

There are different degrees of being strong. I would have to say I am not too either. I am very emotional and I find it difficult to hide my weaknesses. Most of the time as much as I want I cannot make people do not affect me. I get easily hurt when i see someone sad or disappointed. I know how to stand up from a failure but even at that moment, I know myself I am not very strong as like everybody else.

Most of us have perceptions about how strong we are. A strong person is one who though afraid, is willing to move forward and willing to accept pain n order to do the right things. People who cry, who reach for help , who use the knowledge available to them to improve their own lives, are strong in my views. I'm not that strong, but I'm not that weak also.

my friends told me that I am but that remains to be unknown..because for me being strong that not always mean that you can face everything that may comes your way. the word strong comes in different definition depending on to whom you want to describe. you maybe strong outside but weak inside.

we all have problems about some things, that's part of living, its what make us what we are and make us stronger, but its not really a good thing if one person always feels sad and unfortunate about her life, maybe you need to think all the good things that are happening to you than concentrate on bad ones. try to count your blessings, cause I'm sure you're more fortunate compare to others, because it's natural in life that we will not get anything we want, even those richest people don't have anything that can make them happy and contented, and they also reaching for that. you know what maybe it can help you if you sorround yourself with happy people, just go out and appreciate things could also work I think:)

It's okay to appear strong to others, but it's also okay to appear weak to others. Sometimes, it's important to come to terms with ourselves. Let us accept who we are. Let us use our strengths and weakness to reach out to others, instead of to hold back and keep within ourselves. Other people are also holding back, they appear strong on the outside but weak on the inside. When confronted with a situation, they'd wish they have done this and not have done that. I think, for us to really come to terms with ourselves, we need to have inner healing. We need divine wisdom to have the ability to see, to reach out, to understand others. And not to focus much on ourselves, as if we are the agrieved party all the time. It is by sharing ourselves to others that we live the true meaning of life, to live for God and to live for others. 'Love God and love thy neighbor'.
