How do you describe a strong person?
I don't know..I think a strong person would be someone who went throughout hell, but once he's out of it, he's basically the same as before, just with more experience.Let's say.. Someone who doesn't get corrupted by the types of poisons he has to drink during life.And someone who is able to face every kind of difficulties. Basically a person who falls and gets up right after.
Word to describe lean, but strong person.?
I need a single word to describe the build of a person who is lean, even skinny, but strong, with well-shaped muscles... A body that was formed by intensive manual labor and temporary underfeeding, not workout and body-building. Is sinewy ok? Gnarled? Knotted?
How would you describe a strong but sensitive person?
To describe such a person I always just say she or he is strong and sensitive. It's sort of like saying someone is tall and handsome, or smart and beautiful. We frequently combine two adjectives that way into what become standard expressions. There definitely are such people: strong and sensitive. Indeed, in many instances, for example, where there is peer pressure to be mean or nasty to someone in the group, it is the strong person who resists such pressure and acts sensitively toward the person the group would pick on. There are other examples, of course, of such behavior by strong people. But my point is that it sometimes takes strength to act sensitively when one might be criticized or punished for being sensitive I am not surprised that you are strong and sensitive, many of your other qualities seem to be consistent having those two characteristics. And I believe the world needs more strong and sensitive people and that we should all strive to be that way as best we can. SB
What does it mean "to be a strong person"?
I think this means to accept all the bad moments in your life. To accept all kinds of people. To be able to stop fighting when it is not necessary, to forgive, to continue your journey, to open your heart again and again even if you know it will be hurt. To accept the fact you won’t be able to get all the answers.
How would you describe a confident person?
A truly confident person does not need the approval of others to give himself a positive self-evaluation. He does not need to tell others about his achievements to feel good about himself. Basically it is enough for him to know, it it does not matter to him what others think as long as he knows (or strongly believes) that he is right. An insecure person on the other hand constantly seeks the approval of others and if he outdoes anyone in the slightest bit needs to yell about it from the mountaintops just so that everyone knows he is better than them. He is afraid that people will not know he is better, or think that he is worse, because they do not know about his achievements. Unfortunately this usually backfires and when an insecure person does this, his boasting may be perceived as a way of looking down on others. (Which is true to some extent.) As a result people dislike him even more and he tries even harder to seek their approval by boasting even more. It's a vicious cycle. A quietly confident person on the other hand, even when he fails, is perceived as being humble and the people he knows will not harp on it. (Unless those people fall into the category of insecure people.)
What is a strong word to describe 'being your own person- going at your own pace- setting your own standards?
independent, unallied, individualistic, nonaligned, nonpartisan, and unconstrained. Those are just a few ;)
What do you think makes a strong person?
You don't depend on others. You can do things on your own and learn on your own. You can live on your own, be your own person. You don't follow others. You stay true to yourself and have self confidence that doesn't turn into conceitedness. You are able to cry when you can't hold it in (in front of others and not care). You don't care about what other people think. You are caring towards everyone, but you don't let other people use you. You can ignore people when they are mean to you. You don't let people get to you. You don't let people make your decisions.
Can "someone has a will of steel" be used to describe that a person is determined and has a strong will?
wow. 7 collapsed answers. no pressure, right?Tl;Dr - yes, but it’s also important you don’t repeat the “will of steel,” thing too many times. you want to really give this character.. well.. character.sometimes in English the important question isn’t along the lines of, “can I say this this way?” it’s often more a question of, “how else can i say this?”I’m assuming based on the, “will of steel,” thing that you’re trying to be dramatic, or perhaps make this character, real or fictional, seem larger than life, a powerful individual.“That man… Has a willpower I’ve never seen before.”My absolute favorite has to be this expository scene from the movie John Wick; if you’re looking for inspiration to really build up your character, then look no further than Baba Yaga: (I also strongly recommend watching the full movie, not only is it great to se this scene but the rest of the movie is a masterpiece)Viggo Tarasov: It's not what you did, son, that angers me so. It's who you did it to.Iosef Tarasov: Who? That fucking nobody?Viggo Tarasov: That "fuckin' nobody"... is John Wick. He once was an associate of ours. They call him "Baba Yaga."Iosef Tarasov: The Boogeyman?Viggo Tarasov: Well John wasn't exactly the Boogeyman. He was the one you sent to kill the fucking Boogeyman.Iosef Tarasov: [stunned] Oh.Viggo Tarasov: John is a man of focus, commitment, sheer will... something you know very little about. I once saw him kill three men in a bar... with a pencil, with a fucking pencil. Then suddenly one day he asked to leave. It's over a woman, of course. So I made a deal with him. I gave him an impossible task. A job no one could have pulled off. The bodies he buried that day laid the foundation of what we are now. And then my son, a few days after his wife died, you steal his car and kill his fucking dog.Iosef Tarasov: Father, I can make this right.Viggo Tarasov: Oh? How do you plan that?Iosef Tarasov: By finishing what I started.Viggo Tarasov: [irritated, turning to Avi] What the... did he hear a fuckin' word I said?Iosef Tarasov: [in Russian] Dad, I can do this! Please!Viggo Tarasov: [pulls Iosef close, talks into his ear] Iosef, Iosef! Listen! Huh? John will come for you, and you will do nothing because you can do nothing, so get the fuck out of my sight!To summarize:Will of steel is a fantastic start, and I think you can really cultivate that description into a great character.
