Why do so many people confuse strength with weakness and weakness with strength
- Thread starter Pazzy
- Start date
People have different values and opinions so one persons weak might be another person's strong and vice versa
True.
There are certain things are an indicator of weakness and strength such as self control and being self sufficient. However I've seen these things to be manipulated where a lack of self control and depending upon other people is seen as strength.
Another example, i just had a poster who goes by @Another Man leaving me a neg comment and calling me the f word. Supposedly, some people think he/she has strength and therefore makes him/her a "real man". But other people such as myself would think hes a coward and a weak little boy or girl who basically is only saying that because he or she is on an anonymous web forum and can't face any serious repercussions for the words that come out their mouths. Most people who think that he/she is weak strongly doubt @Another Man would be brave enough to attempt to do the same thing if I was in front of them face to face.

for the sake of understanding your side, is this post a sign of your strength or weakness? Because depending on perspective, either can be true
Fax and I think that both of those can be seen as a strength and a weakness. For example those who are boisterous or headstrong can also be viewed as whiny or hypersensitive because they are very vocal about their feelings. Someone who depends on others can be viewed as a leech lacking ambition or they can be seen as humble and strong enough to ask for help. Sometimes being too prideful can be seen as a weakness

Yeah, some people may think that is a sign of weakness because instead of ignoring @Another Man, I'm acknowledging him/her as well as putting something that should be private on public display. Others may say that I'm showing strength by confronting him/her in the open instead of backing down from him/her and keeping quiet.
This thread isnt about him though or anybody specifically so I'm not going to mention that any further. Just had to use him/her as an example.
I don't think this is about winning or losing. I think it's more about what character traits people value the most and the least.

but the premise of the thread is asking why so many people confuse strength for weakness and vice versa, and then very clearly you mention that actions (your own actions) can be interpreted two different ways. You’ve answered your own question
That's three mentionsYeah, some people may think that is a sign of weakness because instead of ignoring @Another Man, I'm acknowledging him/her as well as putting something that should be private on public display.

Black community thinks gang culture, illegal activity, and swag as strength
But thinks intellectualism, nerdy, and consistency as weak

On some real shyt, can some of you guys act intelligent for once. I'm starting to think one of the reasons why yall hate lipstick alley so much is that the posters over there in general are actually intelligent and yall are jealous of that. You cant be this stupid. You're already dumb but you might be dumber than I thought. This thread ain't about a neg and it wasnt about anyone. I said that already before you typed that shyt. Get your head out your ass and read a book or something.
