🗒️ Nine signs that you're thick-skinned and Allah the Almighty blessed you with a strong personality:
1] You don't doubt your self-worth nor act overly upset when some Facebook users unfriend you or reject your friend requests.
2] You remain unfazed and unaffected when people criticize you, whether in a one-on-one setting or social gathering. Although you're capable of responding to insults with a clever comeback, most of the time you choose to ignore trolls and insecure individuals who may misconstrue your words.
3] You've been yelled at, scolded or laughed at several times but Alhamdulillah those incidents only inspired you to become tougher for Allah's sake and to move on confidently.
4] You don't feel the need to keep anybody on your list of blocked users. After arguing with a user, if ever you get into an argument, you may block them temporarily to let them know you're uninterested in chatting further, then you unblock them after some days while staying away from stalking their social media posts.
5] In general when somebody treats you disrespectfully, instead of wondering if there's something wrong with you, you analyze the possible reasons behind the disrespectful person's misconduct and thank Allah Subhaanahu wa Ta'aala that you're not as miserable as that person is inwardly.
6] You're courageous enough to show up the next day at work or school, rather than hiding yourself and being absent, when you go through a situation which many people may regard as "embarrassing" or "awkward".
7] You're not afraid to walk past individuals who had a misunderstanding with you nor are you scared to attend meetings or conferences which are attended by some acquaintances whose attitudes conflict with yours.
8] You don't overreact irrationally when some users fail to answer your messages in a timely manner.
9] You don't make it a big deal when some individuals didn't answer your salaam, aware that they're probably ignorant of how to properly exchange greetings in Islam or they were distracted by other tasks or thoughts.

📖 Abu Huraira RadhiAllahu 'anhu narrated: Allah's noble Messenger Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, "The strong believer is more beloved to Allah than the weak believer, but there is goodness in both of them. Be eager for what benefits you, seek help from Allah, and do not be frustrated. If something befalls you, then do not say: 'If only I had done something else.' Rather say: "Allah has decreed what He wills." Verily, the phrase 'if only' opens the way for the work of shaytan."
