How strong is your emotional strength.

[Erin]

I think im pretty strong.

 

[Crossroads]

An eight or a nine.

 

[Cosman]

I'll throw a decent 7-8/10

I'm touchy on a few things, but generally uncaring in others. Sadly I don't take certain things seriously enough that I should. I let it bounce off when it's really good criticism that I can work on. Haven't cried or broken down in years, though there are times when that shit would work out great.

 

[Tingun]

8/10.

I can control myself in front of other people, but when I'm alone .. Zzz

Sounds weak to me.

OT: 1/30^10

What are we gauging as strong? what is weak?

This is poorly defined. All answers are arbitrary without any real way to reflect.

I might link something I used for class, like a test of sorts.

One would mean you're absolutely distraught and you're emotionally unstable. People labeled as a "one" are usually the ones who openly complain about their issues on an Anime site to multiple people, *cough*. "One's" usually cry a lot, are often suicidal.. etc. I think you get the picture.

A ten would be the complete opposite, not going into depth.

Its based on personal opinion.

The strongest state of emotional standing in your opinion to the weakest.

FYI (while I hunt down that link)

Emotional strength is not the ability to kill emotions, its not being able to hide from them, or to keep face around others. Its being honest to your feelings, its being able to express them to others.

King David is how men should be, read his psalms. Sometimes he would have a several seasons of emotions pour out in the same verse. Even after killing 1000's of people he could still have a full range of emotions.

Weakness, is well the opposite. Which from the sounds of it, is what you would call "Strong".

 

[Prime Rib]

dunno but as you get older the colder you get

 

[Jcub]

It doesn't work like that.

 

[Crossroads]

^
Maybe the OP had a misconception of the terms he was referring to.

 

[Erin]

It doesn't work like that.

The OP didnt leave any guidlines so he left it up to the commenters to decide what emotional strength is, in thier opinion, and then rank themselves from weakest to strongest according to their opinions.

[Netferarri]

Is Erin going to solo this thread again?

 

[-Sky-]

I don't think my opinion is the best way to scale how emotional I am. I don't break down in front of other people, and I can take most things in stride.

I get anxiety attacks when I'm alone though

 

[Netferarri]

Same here man, I have to take shitty meds for anxiety

Considering this is a general discussion on an internet forum, having a concise definition or gauge for what one would consider emotional strength is probably not a wise decision. You get robotic responses, whereas leaving the two words "emotion" and "strength" up for one's interpretation will most likely yield different results as we've seen thus far.

I'd say keeping it purely subjective opens up doors to see how people view things. People tend to have vastly different opinions on the words strong and weak, and in that we have better discussions.

It's easier considering the root words are still emotion and strength. On their own we already have a staggeringly large amount of viewpoints. This would be an issue if we were discussing something like modern medicine or practical theories in real world scenarios.

But it's just our hipster emotions, so it's all good. :snick:

 

[Hokage Sharingan Kakashi]

Personally speaking, a weary 7.5.
From an outside perspective a 0 since I've been told numerous times that I come off very cold and emotionless.

 

[βeeCee]

If you mean my ability to control my emotions, I would say a 8. I'm typically only affected by those that mean (or at some point meant) something to me. Otherwise, I'm completely apathetic. That often comes off as cold or cruel or even 'heartless.'

If you mean my ability to understand my emotions, I would say 9. Although, just because I don't often communicate my emotions, doesn't mean I don't know what they are.

 

[Disquiet]

What BeeCee said, more or less.

 

[Craziie]

9/10

I let my emotions be shown when I choose to. I rarely burst out in tears, and when I do. I do it alone.

I don't show much emotion to people anymore.Amazing what a past can turn you into.

Even though, I have high levels of OCD and Anxiety.
My Anxiety comes from me over thinking things and trying to figure out things that aren't even my concern yet.
Ex: I try to figure how I am going to pay for college, pay my bills, get transportation, a place to live. How will I pass a test that I won't even take for the next few years. (Like college exams, not even in college)... etc etc. One of my main issues is that I get anxiety and pissed off in general not being to solve a problem whether it is present or 20 yrs in the future.

Ex: When I get constantly scolded and in trouble in one day, and I cannot figure out why I am getting trouble. Which gives me major anxiety attacks.


I think I'm insane ,honestly. Gives me anxiety thinking being insane.
