True or false: what doesn't kill you makes you stronger?

[Ram0n83]

... and any other details you think are relevant.

FALSE FALSE FALSE FALSE sorry but i used to think this and it almost killed me... for example, if you get an injury, it doesn't kill you, but it doesn't make you stronger, and if you ignore the injury, you cause more damage and get weaker

[cinderelli]

I agree. I'm a strong person because of the shit I went through in the past. When I compare myself with people who had a very cosy and comfortable childhood and teenage, I'm mentally way more strong than they are.

That's a warrior code.. but they will die eventually until it gets to them

[tartaarsaus]

The bag of crisps I had yesterday is not going to make me stronger, probably fatter.

So no, what doesn't kill you doesn't necessarily make you stronger

[Yawn_Yawn]

Yawn... All the "broken" people in therapy would tend to suggest that hypothesis is inaccurate.

[jimyee]

False, if I lose an arm it's not going to kill me and it's certainly not going to make me stronger.

[rgb008]

Nah
What doesn’t kill you only makes you wish it did.

[MarketData]

True... mostly. Unless you end up crippled physically and emotionally.

[Konabeana]

Sooo true.

[Ram0n83]

Can you elaborate?

[Konabeana]

It’s really weird because I was just thinking of that quote before I saw it. Failure is the worlds best teacher.

[boulshyte]

[AnnieBabe]

True.

[Wowgirl10q]
