I'd say I'm pretty open about my emotions. With whatever I'm feeling, I address it, understand it, and try my best to express/deal with it in a healthy way. I try my best to express it (like if I'm sad) but sometimes I have a difficult time.
Due to a impactful situation that I just got out of (heavy emotional manipulation) I sometimes think about the past, and get in low states due to my thinking. I let the situation or the person stay in my head for a long time. My mind was so used to being in a trapped, negative, depressive state, that being in that state is familiar. It's like my mind is used to it.
I have quite a lot of boundaries, and they cracked a little before. I didn't put myself down about it though, since I'm not used to setting/upholding boundaries, so I told myself that just because I let one person slip past them once, doesn't mean it's the end of the world. I'll still hold them up.
I'm trying to be more of an open-minded person (and I kinda am depending on what it is) I struggle with being open-minded partially because I'm not used to sharing opinions and being confident in them. it's difficult for me to be confident in what I believe in, while also being open to other people's views. I want to be better at saying ok this is what I truly believe in and standing up for what I believe in, before starting to see others views.
I tend to take blame for everything and apologize for it, even if I'm not at fault. I'm learning to only apologize for things that I KNOW I've done something wrong, but I have difficultly distinguishing between automatically apologizing because I FEEL like I did something wrong, and actually knowing that I DID do something wrong.
I'm pretty alright being by myself, and years ago, that was all I did and I didn't mind it, but my anxious thoughts sometimes pop up out of nowhere, which is why I like to hang out with other people. But, on some occasions, my anxious thoughts don't bother me, and I like being alone. I tend to reflect on things (sometimes I don't know if I reflect too much, or reflect on things that I shouldn't be reflecting about) but I relax sometimes too.

Hei
I refer to the last sentence of #3, where blindly is so obviously stressed as a negatively connotated word.
Please substitute stigmatizing words like blind to, blindly, and the like with words such as impervious to, unthinkingly, etc.
People with severe visual impairments, such as myself, are already living very difficult lives. We don't need just about everybody demonizing our disability just about everywhere we go.
If people can go out of their way to modify entire sentences to appear gender-neutral, or forcing they to take on the function of a singular pronoun, they can surely adopt readily available vocabulry to lessen the assaults on the dignity of people with disabilities.
Unthinkingly insisting on using harmful language is an act of intentionally being impervious to the pains of people who are already afflicted with such great disadvantages in life.

6/8 are true.
I don't really live in the past but I also can't really move on. It's like I'm stuck in a limbo.
And perfectionism. Growing up I had these huge expectations on me. I didn't want to disappoint the people who had faith in me(at least i thought they had faith in me) and therefore, strived straight for perfection. I thought that people would abandon me if I wasn't perfect. And I was terribly scared of being abandoned.
I was very young back then. And now I'm trying to unlearn this habit of shying away from prospective failures. But I'm not there yet.
So, I am mentally strong but i still have a lot to learn.

It's it me, or does this list include some things that can get easily be caused by traumatic experiences, no matter how strong somebody is?
It's perhaps silly to talk about 'unfair' when discussing psychology, but it's weird to me to say that a person who's badly damaged, yet strives to not do these things, though they can't always help themselves, is not mentally strong. Things like not enjoying your own company, or being stuck in the past sometimes. If the person in question is working on those points and improving, despite trauma, I think that actually makes them stronger?

Their emotions and thoughts are their own. I never ordered my brain to give me flashback thoughts, or for me to naturally feel anger easily, and I especially never ordered being or staying alive.
I'm responsible for which direction I lean my brain and body towards, not for where it started, what it's capable or incapable of, or what things overwhelm it. That wasn't a good way of phrasing it.
But I do get the point, I like being as healthily responsible of things as I can, even if it's not solely my responsability.

I would say that I have some stuff to work on however idk if I would really say I am mentally weak. I may be mentally weak I am not ruling that out but I have had a very difficult life and have trouble identifying particular personality flaws. I often feel inadequit about stuff. I am not sure if I need therapy or what. I was going to therapy for a while but it seemed as if she was making me more unsure about myself. I am not sure I have low self esteem but I do know I have some sort of issue.

I define my mistakes, other people's opinions on what is and is not a mistake have no value compared to my own. I might think something is a mistake that you think is successful or correct, or the other way around.
I got my own goals, they probably aren't the same as yours although some of them probably are. I got high priority goals that most people wouldn't want nor would put effort into while I view it as more important than the ability to own property.

Now I slowly understand the person that made me change to become better person. But I realized it after being unaware in all of things. Now I become aware, but the person I used to become a better person now is not part of my life anymore. It's sad but it's ok. That person still my inspiration to create something meaningful.

2. They dont hang around negative people.
3. They don't stop believing in themselves.
4. They don't wait for an apology to forgive.
5. They dont feel sorry for themselves.
6. They dont hold grudges.

I think I meet most of them, but I need to work more on boundaries, taking time alone as relaxation and influence. I believe that influence doesnt need much work as I already have my own beliefs but sometimes I still get influenced anyways.

Compassion and kindness does not mean you are mentally weak, in fact- maintaining your compassion and kindness in a world where not everyone is so nice, is mental strength itself. To not let the worlds flaws shape you.

Several videos youve made on intelligence state that those who are intelligent usually do not believe so. Could this apply here: are those who are mentally strong typically assuming themselves to be mentally weak?

Oof, took a hard hit. I'm still working on it, but I have been stressed lately and experiencing insomnia. It is hard to control anything when you are living in haze barely remembering what happened 20 minutes ago.

YOU CAN grow strong mentally and physically, don't let those sad thoughts get the better of you. You already have your own strengths and you have the ability to grow and become stronger

Definitely have to work on bottling emotions and living in the past/not focusing on problem solving and progress, but damn, I guess I am on the right track

I am haunted by my past. Does that make me mentally weak? I think not. I struggle with it more but Im stronger than if I hadnt had the past that I had.
