8. They Don’t Make the Same Mistakes Over and Over

9. They Don’t Resent Other People’s Success

10. They Don’t Give Up After the First Failure

11. They Don’t Fear Alone Time

12. They Don’t Feel the World Owes Them Anything

13. They Don’t Expect Immediate Results

Hhmmmm ive never really thought about it but i guess under the above criteria i'd consider myself mentally strong.

I dont know how other people do it but i prioritise not only tasks but emotions too. If that makes sense.

I don't think I'm mentally strong entirely and I'm not mentally weak either. I tried thinking about the amount of one's I am/not but realised it wasn't working. Sometimes I mix up who I really am for who I wish i was or think that I am.

I think its something that would come with age and experience.

And I heard as it were, the noise of thunder. One of the four beasts saying come and see and I beheld, a pale horse. And his name that sat on him was Death... and Hell followed with him.

Weakness can be a strength.

Strong things can break instead of bending.

How can weakness be a strength? I dont understand.

Being too uncompromising can cause you to break. Look at the trees and their strong trunks. Yet in the facing the gale they will bend and yeild.

I agree with Castiel. Experience shapes perception, so having a strong mentality takes time.

Worryingly some of those qualities sound slightly egotistical.
