My friend said God might let you suffer to make you stronger and more emotionally independent so you can be less needy and reliant, thoughts?

I had a problem at 19 and the consequences were obvious for me:

Which is that I lost all fear of human beings, and went from being a coward that was afraid of not being liked, to being an emotionally independent person who could go months or years without social contact and not become lonely. People would accuse me of showing off when I did so many things on my own without joining the crowds or following the crowds around me.

I later had another problem and the consequences of that were also obvious, which is that after the problem, God gave me a blessing that changed many things in my life for the better.

I later had two other issues and I do not yet know what rewards God will give me for those things, but I believe God gave me those issues for a productive and beneficial reason that I will one day figure out.

Just like as god has made men stronger but also made sure to leave us with a weakness that can make us suffer. But it's on us to follow what he says be kind to others and they will be kind to you so maybe that's how we learn and grow in life 🤔🤣

Thats kinda fucked up considering people can learn things without suffering wouldn't ya say?
And plus I thought it was supposed to be the devil that makes people suffer?
And so then what's the difference between someone looking at an event and saying that was the devils work or looking at it and saying sometimes God makes people suffer to make them stronger?

Not sure if that's the purpose but I believe God would never put you in situations you cannot handle.
