What has happened to you that made you a stronger person?

Worst heartbreak of my life over a girl I really, really loved combined with stress 24/7 as a teenager. I had to take on parental responsibilities that weren't my own, and it was chronic over the course of many years. It was unfathomable the mental turmoil I went through dealing with that, being a father figure to my sisters, constantly losing sleep, and nearly repeating a grade twice because of it all. I used to also have night terrors in the midst of all of this. It was hell!

With that nightmare experience, I gained resilience, perseverance, and a stronger sense of self-worth since the heartbreak. Iron will? I'd say so.

Every relationship i have left or was dump i would turn to what i do best...

Work ethic... made great strides in my career. Next job raises 30 to 40 percent... more OT, better perks...

Each change resulted in getting better woman.

But now that i am at the top so to speak - id rather be single.

Being socially rejected made me stronger - I do not need people for validation or acceptance the way others do

I've been cheated on. And COVID. Both showed I'm more resilient than I thought.

I was expelled from University, and I had to abandon three different projects.

Then I started my own project, related with what I have studied, and it's being awesome.

I was bullied as a kid. I joined a gym and got into a good bodybuilding program. After a while nobody picked on me anymore.

I lifted heavy weights over a period of time while maintaining a healthy diet.
