To start with, a personality is a set of qualities that tells people what kind of person you are, what your values are, and your strengths and weaknesses.

They know their strengths and weaknesses intimately, their values, talents, goals in life — and everything about themselves that is worth knowing because all these things make them who they are!

A strong personality doesn't care about being liked as much as it cares about doing what's right for them. Other people like that, which is why they are so much fun to be around. They have opinions about the world and a set of values that they stick too whether life is going well or badly.

Here are some traits of strong personalities. How many do you have?

  1. You don't care about being liked. Most people mistake liking what is popular with knowing what to value. Your values are your life's purpose, and the path you take to get there. You do not let others dictate it for you.
  2. You don't need holidays or special occasions to celebrate or be grateful for because these are only distractions from self-reflection and finding your true purpose in life.
  3. You are comfortable with who you are and what you stand for, although this is maybe more from a feeling of self-determination rather than exactly knowing who you are and where you're going; but it's still better than letting someone else tell you who to be and how to live!
  4. You are not concerned with filling your life with all the trendy things, having a mansion, becoming famous. You just want to live a good life – maybe travel, spend time with friends and family, read good books, appreciate beauty and art.
  5. When you have a goal in mind for yourself or some outcome you want to achieve, you set about doing it straight away. You don't care about what other people think; you're not trying to get everyone to like your taste or lifestyle choices.
  6. You know what kind of people get on your nerves and how they can be avoided so that you can focus on what's really important to you.
  7. You know what you're good at, and don't waste your time trying to be something you're not.
  8. You are not obsessed with the material things in life; you understand that they can easily be lost or stolen, and while they are important in certain situations, they are not the end goal for you; they are simply a tool for achieving your goals.
  9. You know that most people aren't as driven as you to succeed at whatever it is that drives them; some will want to get close to the things that drive other people and show off about it, but you know who these people are because it's obvious when others deal with them!

  11. You are not someone who is jealous of the success and fortune of others as this is pointless; instead, you celebrate their success because you know that there will always be more people who have more than you; your joy comes from doing what's right for yourself – that others have more than you is irrelevant to your happiness.
  12. You are not afraid to say "no" when other people ask for something from you, no matter how much they want it or how close they are to you.

  14. You know what you stand for in life, whether it's religion, family, integrity or whatever else; and that these values are not open to negotiation.

  17. You are not intimidated by other people because you know that you can never really know what is going on inside another person's head; and it doesn't really matter anyway – ultimately, they are only responsible for their own actions.
  18. You are comfortable with not being married, parents, getting a job in the city or whatever else may be considered "normal" or the "right way" to live in our society. You're free to do whatever you want!

  20. You are not afraid of accepting the things you cannot change.
  21. You are the master of your own soul and can't be controlled or manipulated by others!
  22. Your happiness and success is built on your own principles, and not on what other people think you should be doing – in fact, if other people think you shouldn't be doing something, then it's an even better opportunity to do it for yourself!
  23. You know that you have to love yourself first before anyone else can love you or want anything from you, so that's why all the attention should come on loving yourself!
  24. You know that there is no reason to envy the people who are "successful" in our society because that's not what success is about; it's more about what you feel you deserve, and having the courage to go for it - that's true success.
  25. You know that your life was meant for something better than just living a normal mundane existence and it would be a waste of your precious life to continue living for other people!

How do i develop a strong personality?Everyone has a personality. Some people may have less of one than others, but they still have one. In order to develop a strong personality, you need to practice what you're passionate about and stop focusing on what other people think. Only then will your unique self emerge and the world will see your true personality. You cannot exclusively take the most popular opinion, the people around you can get that by speaking to anyone.

Firstly, it is important to understand that no one person’s idea of how a strong personality looks like is the same as someone else's idea – different things might make an introvert feel brave or make an extrovert feel shy. But this is not to say that they have no personality at all.

Extroverts may feel intimidated by introverts, but there is nothing wrong with being introverted; being extroverted does not make you morally better than introverts. What matters most is how you interpret and react to your environment.

You may feel shy in various situations and therefore have a silent personality, but this does not mean that you are less "in the moment" or that you do not have a strong personality; on the contrary, your ability to react to your environment in a fast-paced society dictates one's ability to adapt.

Introverts may engage with less people, but this does not mean that they are less interesting or have weak personalities. They are just choosing to engage in different activities than others.

It is also important to understand that everyone is unique and their personalities only package a small part of what is inside them – we do not have to be “perfect” for our personalities to be considered strong. Nobody is perfect and therefore there should be no expectations of perfection in how we behave.

If you are an introvert, you may have a personality that is shy and quiet. This does not make you less strong or less interesting for it is just one trait within your personality. All that matters is how these traits will be interpreted by others; if it gets misinterpreted as bad, then it will be perceived as bad and therefore will be bad for other people.

If your personality is misunderstood this way, others may not like you or think ill of you, even though they neither know you nor have the right to do so. Do not let other people’s opinions dictate who and what you are – do not accept their ideas about what "good" and "bad" are.

You can be quiet and have a strong personality. But you can also be loud and warm. You are not weak or insignificant because you are not expressing yourself as loudly as others. If you do express yourself, however, it does not mean that your personality will be weak or diminished in any way – it just means that your personality has chosen the method of communication that suits you best.

If your personality is perceived negatively all the time simply because of how you express yourself, then again this is not something to worry about. The only thing that matters is how those who see you perceive you and whether they like or hate your actions.

People can hate your personality, but realizing that this is nothing personal will allow you to feel more confident in expressing yourself. People do not have a right to judge you for who you are; they can only judge those actions that are done – and it is not the same person doing everything, but different people within you that do different things.

Consequently, your personality will be an intricate set of traits developed throughout your life and the ones who understand this will love you all facets. Those who think otherwise cannot see anything beyond their own perceptions and ideas about how a strong personality should be.

1.Define your strong points

You will need to understand what you like, who you are and what helps you get out of difficult situations. These will form your core beliefs, the things that make you unique.

2. Learn to be assertive and confident when necessary

This does not mean that if someone is rude to you then they are bad or that people will not like them; it means that it is okay to be assertive when a situation requires it. It is okay to stand up for yourself because it is your right as an individual human being.

3. Don't worry if you make mistakes

It is important to always know that people are only seeing who you are in your current form. No one knows your true personality – only you do. Make mistakes, apologise when it is appropriate and move on.

4. Enjoy life, every day is a privilege

Stop worrying about others' opinions and think more about your own desires. You cannot develop a strong personality unless you do this – you are not trying to please everyone.
