"What doesn't kill you makes you stronger."
The age-old coping phrase.

The message behind this is obvious. It's usually said to imply that any detrimental event that happens to you, as long as it's not bad enough to cause significant harm or kill you, will make you more resilient and, in a sense, "stronger" (mentally).

I disagree. Yes, you might build a tolerance to the bullshit you endure in life if you keep experiencing misfortune, but that tolerance doesn't necessarily make you stronger—it actually makes you weaker.

It's similar to how the body of a drug addict gets used to higher and higher doses, building a tolerance to greater amounts of harmful substances. Your brain will do the same. It will get used to hardship. But just like the drug addict, you’re slowly deteriorating from the inside.

You can even put on a good show for yourself, pretending that enduring all the pain you’ve been through made you more resilient and stronger as a person. But the reality is, you've been reduced to nothing but a hollow shell of your former self. You will eventually reach your breaking point, and when you do, you're no longer thinking about how tough you've been. Instead, even the smallest setbacks can be enough to push you off the edge.

This. Pain only traumatizes you.

Paraplegia doesn't kill you, it makes you stronger bro.

Amputation doesn't kill you, it makes you stronger bro.

Being blinded in one eye doesn't kill you, it makes you stronger bro.


Ad nauseam.

Little known black pill.
 
I don't get why people glorify suffering, is that the society's way of somewhat honoring the less gifted individual so that it seems more fair?
 
I respect nietszche a lot, but yea it mostly jsut weakens you furthermore
 
What if Nietzsche meant anything that is not harmful increases physical vitality and mental health. He may not have meant surviving a harmful event will increase strength.

For example, drinking water, which does not kill, will increase health.

Which makes it impossible to not have anxiety and depression which also completely prevents you from finding any fulfilment in life.

I know I hate this saying to
 
True. It will make you more tolerant and less surprised when something bad happens, but it doesn’t make you stronger in the sense of physical strength or mental capabilities. You end up becoming jaded and depressed, causing you to struggle to work and enjoy life.
 
That which doesn't kill you usually damages you, sometimes irreparably.
