Lately I have been put through hell and I thought about this many times thank God that my mental state is who I am and what I'm all about because I could very easily just snap..

My mom has full blown dementia no one in my family would take care of her so I gave up everything I'm giving up everything to do so it has been the biggest battle in my life I thought I was strong I thought I was mentally strong but she is broken me a couple times to where I just had to walk away regroup find another way and that's the way I am that's the way I have always been.

And that's the way I will remain until the end. Dementia is a crazy thing it is so hard to understand I mean person that can read people in a heartbeat to get adapt they can do anything I can take so much abuse pain it does not matter I can take it but like I said this year is just about broken a couple times financially it has broke me the financially if I lose it all I lose it all and I start again but my mental state of mind has to be the love and caring person that I am and nobody can take that from me I will not allow it I will stay strong no matter what because I have to because there is nobody else that will do it so my mental state has to stay strong it's okay if it goes fragile it's okay if I think and feel things because that's what makes me grow and that's what makes me wiser and stronger. No matter what I will stay positive my energy will stay positive no matter how many times I fall I will get back up and I will succeed in the long run don't matter how beat up I am how broke I am what I've gone through it will not matter I will succeed this test and I will gather what I have left and grow again

Not really, except raging out, lmfao. And athletic failure😂 So like, normal things, I’m mentally tough. But if if someone is egregiously disrespectful towards me or mine, or if I’m sucking at sports in that moment, I can lose my shit beyond anyone’s control. So like 99% strong, 1% explosively fragile😅

I've always had pretty thick skin really. Not much bothers me on a major level.

I think I'm mentally pretty tough. I've done a lot of hard shit, I still do, and I've been often referred to as stoic over the years with many injuries.

I joined the military, graduated college while in the military, started amateur boxing and fought on 7 sanctioned cards. I've broken my hand, hyper extended my knee, had my nose broken, tore ligaments in my hand etc.

That said I'm more subconscious then people probably expect. I do care about my appearance and how I'm viewed. Genuine insults (not me and my friends f***ing around) hurt my feelings and I get embarrassed when I screw up.

Does one offset the other? Well I don't think so

HawkPerception · Answer

I wouldn't say fragile, but I do tend to give up easily when I don't figure something out the first time. I also don't handle criticism well. And if someone insults I get annoyed/angry pretty easily and immaturely start insulting back.

But I think I handle my relationships maturely despite all of that.

Fireguy17 · Answer

Nope, pretty tough after all the years and crap I have seen.
You wouldn't last long being fragile.
Ya stuff bothers you, but you don't have a choice but to get back in there and go to the next call.
Too many people depend on us.

I used to be when I was younger, but I grew up. Everyone’s got to learn to deal with their problems, and emotions in life. You can only control what you can. By controlling what you can, you improve your odds of success for the things you want. I think most dudes are conditioned to be mentally tough. That’s why they have a shorter grieving period. I don't know I just control what I can, and avoid the things a can’t. Sometimes shit happens but, I’m not god, I can’t control the weather.

Knightwatch27 · Answer

I wouldn't say I am no, unless you count a temper as being mentally fragile. It's only with a select few things that set me off though.

sawno · Answer

No, I am mentally very rigid and good at healing my own sanity back up.

kellytheman · Answer

No not really I am pretty strong minded and don’t care what other people think of me. I know who I am and the way I act and I do pretty well myself that way.

LiamS95 · Answer

No I don't think so, I may have some trust issues because of a previous relationship but am not fragile mentally.
