15 Things That Emotionally Strong People Don't Do



1. They Don’t Beg For Attention

Needing attention is directly linked to emotion. Those who feel the
need for recognition only find themselves experiencing feelings of worth
when others make them feel needed; it’s as if these people are
uncertain of their value, or if they have any ounce of self-worth.
Feeling unsure of your worth is a self-fulfilling prophecy; if you don’t
know you matter, then no one will ever believe you do.



2. They Don’t Allow Others To Bring Them Down

Emotional strength requires resilience. This world is filled with
haters and trolls. There are jealous eyes lurking around every corner.
The unfortunate truth is that often the people who hold us back the most
are those closest to us. Getting rid of these people is often the best
solution, but also the most difficult. If you can quietly remove these
people from your life, that’s one fewer bridge burned and much less of
an emotional trigger.



3. They Don’t Hold Grudges

If you’re holding a grudge, then you already care more about a
situation than you should. If a person apologizes genuinely, forgive him
or her. If this person doesn’t apologize, then don’t interact with him
or her, but don’t hold grudges. People with whom you seek to alienate
and hold grudges against take up too much of your mental energy, doing
more harm than good.



4. They Never Stop Doing Their Own Thing

Emotionally strong individuals do what they do because they love
doing it. They don’t plan on slowing down or stopping for anyone who
deems their happiness inappropriate.



5. They Never Stop Believing In Themselves

Those who love themselves and understand themselves — those who
aren’t afraid or proud to be themselves — never doubt themselves. You
amount to your own self-worth, not a shilling more.



6. They Don’t Act Like Bitches Or Assh*les

People are mean. But we wonder, why? Being a jerk is only good as an
intimidation factor, and if you’re trying to intimidate people, then you
better be a negotiator by profession; if you’re intimidating just for
the sake of it, you’re obviously overcompensating for a lack of
confidence. Do you also drive a very large automobile, perhaps? I hear
they make pills for that.
