what does it mean to be strong and how to be strong?

Is being fierce and positive as if nothing is wrong while still aware of what is going on but refusing to break down? Or is it admiting our pain let people around us know we are not ok but will carry on anyway and do something about whatever it is that upset us? I'm going through some family and work problems, nothing dramatic,the world is not going to fall apart if I can't sleep at night over my career or relies but people around me are starting to ask me if I'm ok, i say I am not to upset or worry them but for example my boyfriend knows and he gets upset because I won't tell him what's wrong with my family and work so my question is how do I get the strength to tell him I'm a bit upset without making him worry?

    u should tell him.. there r lots of different types of strength, but 1 of the most admirable types is courage- when u don't have the strength but u do it anyways. I would only do this if there is a purpose, like- u should tell ur boyfriend what's going on because he's ur boyfriend but ppl at work don't need to know what's going on in ur life, unless u have that kind of relationship with them.

    It depends on what type of person your man is. Does he get angry and fuss or does he worry or will he spread your business? The only thing I can tell you is tell him the aspects on the things he needs to know. Put him on a need to know basis. If yyou feel overwhelmed at times , cry a little it's nothing wrong with that. Crying does not always showing weakness it's just a way to realse the pain or pressure you feel inside. I wish you the best.
