I am strong, both physically and emotionally. Then again, clonazepam helps.

Some of you (not naming names or even hinting) who love posting on threads like this to showcase your low self-esteem are likely a lot more emotionally tough than you give yourself credit for. I see so much self-loathing here that it's kind of depressing honestly, and reminds me of me at 16. Before you tell yourselves you're mentally weak, ask yourself just how much bullmuk you endured – and survived – over this past year, and even over the span of your entire life.
If you’ve got a problem, take it out on a drum.

Weeeell, I'm pretty strong. Especially for my age, I'd say. Like, if you were a weedy kid in a group, you'd want to enlist me so that I could kick the living muk out of all the other kids. But sometimes I see someone my age and they're built like Schwarzenegger and make skyscrapers look diminutive. And that's just the girls.

I'm good for an impromptu wrestle and have a decent pain threshold. I only yield when I know that something is about to rupture. I bloody love fighting, but my opponents often take it that bit too far and I don't give up in time, so I usually come out of it with an injury or two. Or fifty. Very injury prone. My fault, mostly. Good bones but muk joints. Otherwise, yeah, I could take on most people my age. For lack of defeatism if nothing else, really.

Emotionally, on the other hand... my anxiety pushes me face down in the mud but my inherited fortitude always has me rebounding. Still, I don't know of trauma in any great sense, so only time can reveal the extent of my mettle.

I can't believe someone actually posted their gym workout and highlighted their max rep. Holy bejesus.

I'd say I'm strong emotionally. I am blessed with having thick skin, I am generally nonchalant and it takes a lot to get to me. Despite this. I am rather emotional and I feel things with tremendous intensity. However, I am not one to suffer with lingering feelings of despondency or despair, I am quick to overcome these emotions.

Physically, I'm not strong whatsoever. I'm really weak and frail and I often laugh at myself because of it.

Physically? I've always been stronger than I look despite being very thin, since I was doing very physically demanding training for dancing a lot of the time, and this holds true still to an extent, but I've been pretty much bed-ridden for over three years now so the vast majority of whatever physical strength I had built up is gone. I can muster short bursts if I need to lift something or whatever but I'm basically a walking corpse.

Emotionally? I find this one harder to answer. I suffer from anxiety and depression, I'm beaten down and exhausted from all the muk I've gone through. I'm very frail really... but I'm also stubborn as psyduck and as long as I've got something there worth continuing for I'll keep trucking on. I'm like a glass javelin that's been thrown forward and keeps catching updrafts before it hits the ground.

i'm fairly strong ig? lifting up ice coffees to bring to the front helps with that i think fdjkflsd. also think carrying bags of ice for a whole week might have helped too ig.

emotionally i suffer from anxiety (who doesn't) but overall i'm ok. depends on the day i feel.

It would be if it was the only measure of physical strength. In actuality it doesn't take into account many other types of physical strength such as body weight training or perhaps dynamic strength that can be generated by the body - like throwing a punch or kick. There are measures for things such as grip strength and finger strength also...

Emotionally, I'm the most resilient person I know. Physically, my only advantage is my height and slight bulk - but I've been jumped a couple of times and came out perfectly fine, so... masc prowess, I guess?

I changed my life around 2 and a half years ago now and stopped being something I wasn't proud or happy to be. I was extremely negative, pessimistic even angry a lot for a person. Since deep down I was in pain and tremendously sad for things I've endured over the years with people. I was doing very good the first year of changing my life around however now this year it's been more downs yet again as well pain I feel in my heart. I have my family for support but they can't really help all to much or take away my pain.

Since it's something only I can do to push through it and learn to let go and move forward in life. I feel now these past 3 months of this year has been the most hardest for me and I feel like nothing is going right anymore and should just give up. Not in that way just not talking to people and having any relations with anyone other than my family, family friends and help team. It sounds pretty bad but I've been through a lot and even though I am doing better than I was and changed my ways I still struggle mentally very much. I feel now I'd messed up again with trying to reach out to people around places and feel I should just stop trying to get close to others.

I joined here to try and socialize more and see what happens from there but I'm not sure anymore now if I should stay here. Even though this fourms looks safe, friendly and has great people I notced. I just fear to approach others and try and make conversation. I apologize for sounding depressive though I just saw this thread and wanted to write my feelings down. For an answer is I'm half way emotionally / mentally strong and I still have a long ways to go to get even more better and truly feel at peace with myself. I'm not sure what else to say so I'll leave it as that.

I can't lift much, I have weak hands to carry something around. Though I think I have strong legs and call myself enduring. I participated in a marathon once, I'm also a big fan of long-distance hiking. I may not be a fast runner though a 10 km walk with a 30 lbs backpack is not a problem for me 😃 Though I wish I could carry more stuff with me as mentioned here. I still have plenty of time to fix this.
The more you weight the harder you are to kidnap. Stay safe, eat cake.

Last time I lifted weights I could do about 30 per arm and 50 overall. But I mostly do core and leg workouts now so I am not exactly sure.

Emotionally? I've gotten stronger over the past few months. In my previous workplace of a couple years the stress, pressure and demand of being the youngest supervisor position at a call center, mix that in with a lot of toxic people it had really taken a toll on me to borderline depression. However nowadays I have rebuilt myself sort to speak with keeping a new perspective on things. Not everything is true, nor is everything false. Some intentions are pure, some are malicious. You just have to be both smart and prepared for it all. Thus that's how I have been able to get stronger.

Physically? Let's get the bad stuff out of the way first Lol... Okay I sat here trying to figure out how I was going to write this all out. I cannot do pushups, situps if my life depended on it. (Okay maybe but shh) Plus I have lost a lot of grip in my hands due to the vibration of the controller in addition to all the hand injuries I had in football and hockey. I still have some, but never the amount that I used to have.

Positives uhm... Leg strength is still very ideal despite having a damaged ligament in my right leg, and a severely bruised knee in same leg. Last time I did leg presses I was able to do around 350 pounds? That was last year so we knows. I don't go to the gym a lot anymore. My parents have a auto mechanic place and sometimes when a car needs to be pushed into the shop they'll ask me for help, and no, it's not some tiny car... I'm talking Vans and Pickup trucks. I have pushed a van by myself before so there's that.

I also got some chest/pushing strength as well (If that makes sense) the muscles in that area are a bit more set then average.

Disclaimer: I am not a body builder at all... I just worked on a farm in my teen years and did construction in grade 10 so that's how I got to where I am.

Edit: Okay I do remember a time where I had to carry a friend home because she was too... well drunk... She was roughly about 180lbs and I had her over my shoulder, walking 2 blocks to her place before I threw her onto a couch. So there's that too...
