Is Being Emotionally Strong Causing You Harm?

April 14, 2021 • Gemma Hills

We often wear emotional strength as a badge of honour.

“I don’t need anyone. I can cope. I don’t do it then who will?”

“I don’t care what anyone else thinks of me.”

Sound familiar?

These statements all have a defensive tone and if we take a moment to dwell on it it we’ll find they’re not completely true.

If we’re honest with ourselves everyone cares what other people think of them to some degree. No, we know we shouldn’t let it dictate who we are or what we say and do BUT there is still a part of all of us which does care what others think.

Are you an extremely emotionally strong person? In case you’re not sure let me share the 3 of the most common signs of an extremely emotionally strong person

- extreme independence

- appear to be able to cope with anything

- everyone’s ‘rock’

Does that sounds like you?
