If you are someone who keeps going even when it feels like the whole world is against you, know that you are amazing. You are capable of so much more than you know and in the end, you will achieve so much more than you could ever imagine.

When you’re down in the dumps and everything is falling apart, you still get up and try. That is proper shining and you are in those moments growing so much. I know it’s hard to keep pushing through when everything is breaking before your eyes but the more you work towards it the stronger you will become.

Through the things you’ve faced in life, you have become one of the most emotionally strong people around and you deserve praise for that. You know that accepting your feelings so that you can move on from them is important. While you might not always see it, you’re a true badass and you deserve the world.

Below I am going to go over some things that emotionally strong people refuse to do. Being aware of these things will help you to understand what sets you apart from everyone else. What you might consider a weakness to others is anything but.

10 Things Emotionally Strong People Never Do:

1. They refuse to let other people bring them down.

Instead of letting the people around them hold them back emotionally intelligent people cut out those who do not matter. When someone tries to hurt them they fire back but with flowers instead of something sinister. They are not the kinds of people who will stoop to someone else’s level.

2. They only do things they actually want to do.

These kinds of people do not do things they do not want to do. They will not agree to things when they have too much going on already and you cannot guilt them into anything. The more you push the more firm their footing becomes.

3. They believe in themselves properly.

When someone is truly emotionally intelligent they will believe in themselves. Instead of being down and out about who they are, they will know they were meant for more. They will see themselves in the most realistic light possible.

4. They know when to cut people out of their lives.

Instead of allowing everyone who hurts them to stick around these people will cut ties with those they need to cut ties with. If someone is bringing them down they don’t allow them to remain in their lives. They set proper boundaries.

5. They do not let other people make their decisions for them.

Emotionally intelligent people make their own decisions. They do not let the people in their lives take control of their choices. If something needs to be decided, they think them through and move forth from there.

6. They know that change is something no one can avoid.

These people are well aware that change is not something we can run from. No matter what change is a part of life. We cannot avoid it.

7. They are not afraid to say ‘no.’

When it comes to saying no these people are quick to do-so. They don’t hold back and are more than glad to turn down those who have bad intentions. You won’t be able to get to them as easily as you might expect.

9. They don’t hold grudges and have learned to let things go.

Unlike most others, these people do not hold grudges. When something bad happens they move on and let go. They know that obsessing won’t do them any good.

10. They don’t waste their time obsessing over being the center of attention.

They don’t want to be the center of attention. These people are not worried about the thoughts of others or the opinions of others. They know that at the end of the day, they won’t have anyone to answer to but themselves.
