15 Signs That You Might Be Mentally Stronger Than Most People.

Do you know how mentally strong you are, or do you not want to find out?

By Phong OG Published 4 years ago 7 min read

You might sometimes think that you're weird or strange because everyone around you is so darn normal. But while most people would crumble without the support of their friends and family, it turns out that a lot of us manage to endure life’s adversities. We don't know why exactly, but for some reason, it's kind of a thing for us.

And if you happen to share this strength with some other weird-sounding genius-types, then here are 15 signs that you might just be mentally stronger than most people.

1. You can very well remember your dreams, or even see them while you're still asleep.

There's nothing wrong with that, but most people can't remember their dreams if they've had just a few hours of sleep. They just fade away into blackness and are forgotten forever... right? No, not us weirdos! When we dream, we remember them. Sometimes we also dream in incredible details and can even see scenes like a movie right in front of our pupils. Most people won't see this happen to them ever while others will only witness it once every blue moon. We weirdos, however, have multiple dreams per night and dream like there is no tomorrow.

2. You have a great sense of humor.

This probably has something to do with the fact that we never take ourselves too seriously. We're usually laughing at our own blunders and mishaps, finding them more amusing than others would because we understand how they happen (and don't really care much about it).

Most people won't laugh at their own misfortunes. They'll nurse their wounds and then talk to a friend or two, who will console them by saying, “At least you weren't the one in that situation!” Not us weirdos! We don't mind talking about our silly mistakes and goof-ups because they amuse us so much.

3. You're sometimes pretty blunt.

If something happens, we don't hesitate to express our feelings and opinions about it. We'll tell it like it is, and people will either love or hate us for it. Most people are afraid to do this because they're afraid of hurting someone’s feelings, but we feel differently. We know what's going on in their heads and we just want the best for them so we prefer to let them think whatever they want and then explain ourselves once they're ready for a real conversation. It's a weird thing, but it just seems to be our thing.

4. You have very little patience with others' mistakes and wrongdoings.

Did you ever hear the phrase “It's someone else's fault”? We don't use this saying because we have a hard time believing it to be true and usually refuse to believe it no matter how many times we hear it. We've been in situations where someone (usually close to us) has made a mistake but is too stubborn or prideful to own up to it.

They continue their excuses and keep blaming others while they should be taking responsibility. We're kinda like that as well, only instead of mistakes, we would rather blame other things on people. Or our own mistakes that we make and keep repeating over and over again throughout our whole life.

5. You think you can save the world or at least a small part of it.

Most people feel like they're all alone in this big, messed up world and would love to live in a place where we could be free from all the pain, suffering, and injustice we encounter. We feel like we have nothing to complain about when it comes to the unfairness of life itself. We accept that everything is what it is and that nothing can have been done to influence our own lives to a better state. We know that no matter what we do, we can't change the world. But we still feel like we need to try and that if everyone else is willing to do it, then why not us as well?

6. You're pretty obsessed with animals and nature.

You don't just like them; you genuinely love them. You believe that all living things deserve to live on this planet together because they make life more interesting than it would be without them.

Most people feel like animals or nature should simply serve a purpose for us human beings and are after our own selfish interests when they look at a cute little puppy or a glorious sunset.

However, we weirdos think that animals and the environment should be cherished and respected. We like to help those who are in trouble and love to do things for the environment.

7. You're a true reflection of yourself.

People always say that if you don't know who you are, then you don't really know how to live your life. Most people don't really know who they really are, so they go after other people’s dreams instead. Weirdos, on the other hand, know who they really are and just live their life according to their own rules. Some people will tell you to do things in a certain way or to be like some sort of “perfect person”. We won't listen to them. We listen to our inner voice and that's how we do things. If it makes us happy, then why not?

8. You don't really care about the way you look because you're too busy expressing yourself in other ways.

Most people go to great lengths in order to look attractive for others (or for themselves). They'll eat healthily, exercise daily and follow some celebrity's diet. They'll never put on weight, no matter how much they eat and exercise. We do all that, but we still don't look like a model or have any place in the fashion industry.

We look odd and are often mistaken for a monster or an alien. And that's okay with us because we don't really care about our looks. If people don't like us or think we're weird, then so be it. They're just jealous because they can't make stuff happen themselves, while we can... man, can I make things happen!

9. You're more alive than most people.

We're always up to something and never really have time to relax. We're either doing something fun or working on something that will make our life better. Most people are content with the way they live, but we definitely aren't. We know that there is much more out there than we know and that life is full of surprises, only we don't expect them to be pleasant ones... because unpleasant things seem to always get our attention more than pleasant ones.

10. You have a great memory.

Most people forget names or numbers, but weirdos remember everything that comes in their path. We remember what happened yesterday and how it made us feel as if it were now happening today (again). We always have a piece of our life in our minds even though we can't recall the most important things. It's like we're overthinking everyday situations. A good tip to remember is 'Trust your instincts; they never lead you wrong.

11. You can't stand it when people are rude and have no respect for others.

Weirdos don’t like when someone treats them badly, even if everyone else around them is doing the same thing. If someone (usually the same one) gets on our nerves, we'll just feel so angry at that point that we'll want to get rid of that moment and everything else connected with it.

12. You think you're extraordinary and that people are jealous of you because they see what others can't.

Weirdos don’t mind being weird or being seen as weird by others. We believe that we have a purpose to fulfill in this world and that we were meant to have the life that we live today. And it's not really a secret that most people don't really like us, but then again, who likes people who always know better than everyone else? When we say there's only one of us in the whole world, what do you think? Probably something along the lines of: "Oh no, not one more. Why does life have to be this way?"

13. You believe in one true love.

Weirdos believe in love and true love. We still believe that romantic relationships can exist even if they're not a "real" one, as long as both people are happy with what's happening. If someone thinks that being together is boring, just tell them about weirdos; we're always going out of our way for us and for our mates at the same time. It's like we're part hip-hop duo or something. The weirdo says: "Let's go out tonight, let's kiss right here on the street corner, and make it the best night of your life. And we'll be together forever and ever."

14. You're a little bit handicapped.

Weirdos don't really have much to say about their physical appearance and about people's reactions to them because we always have an inner self that takes care of everything. We can find a solution to almost everything even if you think it will never work (and you'll be right).

It is true that most people are jealous of our talents, but that's just because they don't want to try themselves. After all, the talent is there; the effort comes from us. Go ahead, try! It might take a while, but you might end up discovering your weirdness as well!

15. You feel like a lonely person in a crowd of weirdos.

Weirdos feel like they're different or weird from everybody else. They feel like they're too odd to fit in and that there's no place for them in the world. They feel like they have to be someone else than who they really are, but we don't really mind. In fact, we don't really care what happens around us because most of the time we ignore it and keep doing what makes us happy (even if we look stupid doing it).

In Conclusion

Weirdos are pretty different from everyone else, but at the same time, they aren't really weird. They just live their life according to their own rules and that's why we like them. You can always spot a weirdo anywhere because they're always out and about doing whatever makes them happy.

Weirdos are pretty much everywhere and they are loved by all those who recognize them. We will never follow what our society says we should be or how we should act around others because that's not who we really are at the end of the day.
