How do you become emotionally stronger?
I've always struggled with moving on and getting over people, whether it be someone I used to date or moving on from people that I know I have to get away from but can't because of an emotional attachment. I'm in a rather long spell at the moment over trying to move on from someone I dated back in September and still haven't really figured it all out in my head.
Whenever I face any problem, I tend to think negative and feel unlucky. I also cry very easily when arguing with someone. I am an emotional person but this is seen as weakness especially in corporate. I'm trying to become the better version of myself, any tips on how be emotionally strong and tackle any problem that one faces?
Anyways, for those who see themselves as being healthy and strong emotionally, how did you get to that point? How do I become stronger mentally?
I've been told by someone I know that I'm not strong mentally because things get to me easily. I'll read something that my boss wrote when I get to work, it'll bother me and get me worked up all day. Or someone will throw out an insult online and I feel like having an internal arguement is the only way to get past it. How can I develop some mental toughness outside of suppressing my emotions? I've always been intelligent/charismatic but unfortunately my ability to bounce back from problems and sticking to difficult situations has ran hot and cold throughout my life.
What does it actually mean to be emotionally or mentally strong?
If it’s defined as the ability to remain composed in difficult situations, then what happens if someone doesn’t feel any negative emotions in difficult situations because they never learned to give many things importance to get upset about? If one person is laid back and carefree (or careless?), while another person is very emotional and concerned about a lot of things, would you consider one of them stronger than the other? Is a person who had to learn the hard way to stop being attached to certain things in life that can cause them suffering stronger or weaker than the person who simply never became attached to the thing in the first place? It seems like the definition that strong people experience negative emotions but face them anyway and continue life is like saying people who are physically weak, feel the pain of lifting leach weights but keep working out, and get progressively more fit are stronger than a bodybuilder who can life heavy weights easily, which doesn’t make any sense to me. If the definition of a strong person is someone who goes through much hardship, then does going through hardship just for the sake of going through it make you a stronger person?
What are some tips and tricks to be mentally tougher? I know most will have to come from within but are there any strategies I should be following to cull this personality trait?

I've always been curious - assuming that emotionally strong is something along the lines of having the courage to do things such as confronting "bad situations" as opposed to letting them eat away at one's life, what exactly makes some people better at confronting their troubles and making tangible actions to solve/get over their issues? Is there something to be said about experiences or is it to do with personalities? What's your tip/secret for becoming/staying mentally and emotionally strong? Mentally strong people, what made you break down? Has nursing made you mentally strong, or the opposite?
I ask because frequently I read comments about how nurses deal with other nurses who eat their young, egotistic doctors, and verbally abusive patients.
