They don't take everything personally from "summary" of 13 Things Mentally Strong People Don’t Do by Amy Morin
When someone offers a critique, mentally strong individuals don’t automatically assume it’s a personal attack. They recognize that feedback isn’t always about them—it’s often about the person giving it. They understand that feedback says more about the giver than the receiver. They don’t let someone else’s opinion define their self-worth. They don’t need validation from others to feel good about themselves. They know who they are, and they don’t let outside opinions sway them. If someone is rude or disrespectful, mentally strong individuals don’t necessarily take it personally. They recognize that everyone has bad days and that sometimes people lash out because they’re struggling with their own issues. They don’t internalize someone else’s bad behavior. They don’t let one person’s negativity ruin their day. They set boundaries with toxic people and don’t allow them to have power over their emotions. When things don’t go their way, mentally strong individuals don’t automatically think it’s because they’re not good enough. They understand that failure is a natural part of life and doesn’t define who they are. They see setbacks as opportunities to learn and grow stronger. They don’t let one disappointment derail their entire life. They keep things in perspective and move forward with resilience.- Mentally strong individuals have a healthy sense of self-worth that isn’t contingent on external factors. They don’t let other people’s opinions, behaviors, or circumstances dictate how they feel about themselves. They take responsibility for their own thoughts, feelings, and actions. They focus on what they can control and let go of what they can’t. They understand that not everything is about them, and they don’t take everything personally.
