Can a person look weak but actually be very strong?

[want2helpout84]

...

Or vice versa?

Just really wondering because like they said in general... to use common sense... and logic...

but sometimes you know that phrase: Looks can be deceiving? or do you always find that in life: what you see is what you get?

Well, I look very thin and starved now.

A few years ago, I hardly ate (was er... a bit depressed and stuff) and everyone thought I was healthy. But I remember back then I almost fainted twice...

Now I eat well, but look weak (every single one accuses me of starving or the people who know that I eat well, think that something's wrong with my health, that I am diseased/sickly). I got a complete overall health check-up done, and I am 100% healthy.

I had this friend years ago. She (still) looks skin and bones- like what I am now, but oh, the way she ran, while holding my hand. I felt as if there was a storm pulling me forward. She ran really fast, and was dragging me with her- and I bet I looked way healthier than her, even though I used to skip meals back then (too busy to eat). She used to eat like really a lot. Never gained weight. You would think that she starves herself.

Heck yes. I have a friend who is super slim and timid with a sweet demeanor, but she actually has a violent temper and can beat the crap out of ANYBODY who steps in her way. I have faced the wrath of her fists of fury before (our play fights sometimes turn into real ones) and to keep a long story short, she once totally immobilized me for at least 30 mins. with a simple punch to the gut (I still shudder at the memory). She's chucked her phone so hard at the wall it went straight into it. Her looks are very deceiving.

I'm 52kg and height is 160cm. A lot of people see me as a weak girl because i'm thin and i have small hands. But actually i'm a strong person for a girl. I have taken on boys bigger than me. Boys underestimated my strength, one time I almost body slam a boy, another taking on a boy with bigger arms than me, tackling a boy taller than me and more. So yes looks are deceiving, that's why i never underestimate anyone because a lot of people thinks so with me.

Of course looks can be deceiving. Looks can either make you look weak either physically or emotionally (or both) or the opposite side. Of course the reason is some people want others to think they are weak for their personal gain or to make others to think if they are strong when they hide their pain.
Don't judge a book by its cover :)

Vote 'A' cause very much YES

When in my early teens I was quite lean which made people get an impression that they could overpower me while I could easily pick off at least 5-6 people w/o breaking sweat lol and I've never been sick on bed too, not even a small flu :-)

While I know people who look large in size but get sick pretty fast, don't have power in their punch or can't stand up to even one punch

[Crushonyoufornow]

I think it can be im very strong person on the outside but i can be emotinal i can't help it but not everbody can see my other side , i think this is common thing for people i think decibing when you act like you are a good person while you are the devil himself

[FourStar]

Oh man this is so true. At football sometimes ill see a player much smaller than me and go to lay them out and get a nice surprise as they are much stronger than they look.

Looks can be deceiving. When my deliver driver left I had to do the deliveries. I was shocked at how many people like 5'10+ and over 180 lbs could not unload counterstops while I could np. I'm only around 140 lbs. Stronger than I look.

[zombiebabe]

dudette its so true that looks can be deceiving... one of the main reason why people should not be judged according to looks

[Aeroforce334]

Yes, some people looks small but they can actually beat a guy who is much much bigger than him

[kangy]

Looks can be deceiving. Many times a person look demure or vulnerable they are strong inside. Even when face with obstacles they continue to push on

[Jacques529]

In regard to physical, yes. Emotionally, definitely

[douride2]

Yes looks can be deceiving. I'm a lot stronger then I look.

[Anonymous]

Hell yes. My friend about 5'10" kick boxer these 3 big guys over 6' tried to stand him over. he smashed all 3 with ease.

[Anonymous]

Yeah, but in my case, I look weak and I am weak (physically :P)

[SnowHearth]

Yes, deception can be looking
