If you want to be strong emotionally, then have faith with your self that you can do whatever you want to do.
Yes! Also be yourself. Do what makes you happy, so at point you'll forget those things that makes you sad.

You will become emotionally strong if you have inspiration. In my case my inspiration is my family.

Very well said.
I will add that source of inspiration can also be faith, spiritual.
It's important to have positive attitude and always see opportunities around you, have confidence in yourself.
What do you do when something very bad happens? Like when one of your family members i.e. brother/sister murders (rare, but happens) your mom/dad?
What happens with that inspiration?  Cheesy

My tip is to stop giving a fuck.
Pretty much that. You can still be "on" and logical without giving a fuck. All of my favorite people could be described as being both "on" and "off."

If I weren't worried he suspects me of "chemically poisoning" him ("I've got all the symptoms" - doesn't know which chemical, but he's insisting someone poisoned him), my favorite person would be a completely cuckoo bananas, drug-addled co-worker who once came out of the bathroom and asked, "did you just feel the momentum shift?" "What the fuck are you talking about?" "I just shifted the momentum and was wondering if you felt it." There's someone who doesn't give half a fuck about anything, but he still cares about some things.

I think the transition from "not caring" to "not giving a fuck" (and there IS a difference!) is probably the most difficult phase in growing up, one many people never go through, and the transition probably most important in becoming a character. Trolling is maybe the most effective method of converting GaFs to DGaFs... following through and never revealing to the victim you really didn't give half a fuck when you insisted "you still need to file a near-miss report for OSHA compliance because you already plugged those powered speakers into a non-GFCI outlet."

True.
But sometimes it can be fun to be completely irrational, whatever I feel like at the moment.
that's spontaneous
Exactly. But most of the time spontaneous will equal to irrational.

Cut all ties.  Stop making friends and lose any sense of empathy you may have at once acquired.  You can't get hurt if you can't feel.
Worst advice given ever. I tried that a few years ago, and that resulted in a horrible depression and attempted suicide. Undecided
You know why this resulted in such a way? Because you were weak, you are weak.

I however did not cut *all* ties, but I have stopped caring a few years ago. I'm doing great, better than I was before (!).
Now one needs to understand the difference which I did: I like being alone, but I however do not like feeling alone. Once you are unable to feel alone, your problems have been solved.
Stop caring and doing illogical things. I mean there is no logic in doing illogical things is there?


Note: Actually it is up to each individual, where a large number of factors are involved.
I do agree to the "don't care" thing (but maybe not as you meant it). But isn't it better to actually hang out with people instead of just learn not to feel alone?
Also I think that doing illogical things as much as possible makes life waaaaaay funnier. But that's me I guess. Cheesy

making spontaneous decisions != making irrational decisions

My tip is to stop giving a fuck. Really, what others think doesn't fucking matter, because you know why? You're God. Really. You're a fucking God.
If others think you're stupid, weird, whatever they can go fuck themselves, they're not worthy of your presence.
Have fun. Always keep yourself entertained. Learn to see the funny things with everything.
And for gods sake, don't EVER refrain from doing something because you think others will judge you. If they judge you, they are stupid (you know, because you're God). If someone tells you that you're weird, show them fucking weird, laugh and take it up a few notches.
Because not until you stop giving a fuck, you will be free.

you can start by changing already with personal development books, and life style.

everything adds up to find yourself.

1. How you look at money?
2. Explain yourself why people would rather be in a $40k college debt, then starting a company. If life is about risks anyways, since we all sooner or later about to be in a coffin young or old.
3. How do you see time? do you think theres plenty or not enough.

1) exercise and think positively
2) consult a psychologist or therapist if you are breaking down emotionally
3) read books that would encourage you or help you out in your loneliness
4) and be strong! xD

Go out with friends. If I am emotinally disturbed, I will go out with friends.

It does help to have someone to talk to most of the time.

First rule is to never give up.
if you have difficulties in your life, ask for help, don't try to overcome it alone.
Faith also can help, positive mental attitude as well.

People are some time very weak and for them there are few steps to make then emotionally strong
First step is that start believing in self because once you start that you can do it then you earn confidence and you can do any difficult task
Meditation and yoga also helps you to become strong and you get positive vibes there

Read the Roman stoics. Mainly Seneca, Marcus Aurelius, Epictetus.

Emotional strength is something that you don't need to practice to use.

Years ago, the wife of a friend of mine was in a car accident, trapped in the car. Back then, he had a police scanner in his car, and he heard the police call, rushed to the scene. His emotion cause him to have (use?) superhuman strength to rip the door off the car to get his wife out. He left his finger indentations in the car door. I have heard of other things like this being done in times of great emotional stress.

The thing we are talking about here is not entirely emotional strength. Rather, it is remaining in control mentally at the same time the emotional strength is in use. We aren't often aware of how strong we are emotionally or physically. And when we use emotional strength, we often lose a good portion of logical thinking. The goal should be to maintain the logical thinking while consciously and intentionally tapping the emotional and physical strength.

I would say, in this case it's caused rather by adrenaline (ephinephrine) rush https://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20081012174317AAxbaVh which can be caused by emotional stress Smiley
