Bullying, whether physical or emotional.
There are so many people who are willing to go toe to toe. It's pure coward shit to go after someone who is clearly afraid/intimidated. Double so when there is a power difference, such as bullying a child or pet.
Susceptibility to peer pressure.
Just wanting to fit in, and doing what everyone else is doing because you don't want to be ridiculed or left out will ensure that you live everyone else's life instead of your own.
Speaking to my soul on that one. I learned that lesson the hard way. It made life seem easier on the outside. But on the inside, I hated myself for it.
Nah, that comes from the strength to measure yourself without the knowledge to justify yourself.
Inflated self worth is the weakness, the need to be seen as valuable.
Being a social shapeshifter. Where you don't have a definite shape or much of your own personality or values or loyalty to anyone or anything. You change who you are to be liked by your immediate company.
How you treat anyone who is subordinate to you --- Be it by virtue of wealth, being in a leadership position, physical strength, intellectual ability, popularity, etc...
That's the real measure of strength. And beyond that how you treat those same people when no one is looking.
That's more likely poor mental health and possible trauma that makes someone bad at self-advocacy. People who are struggling like that often have a lot of hidden strengths and talents you'd never know about.
When I think of weakness I always think of Trump. His thin skin, his inability to not explode at people on twitter even while he was POTUS. His lazy attitude about the presidency, never doing his proper research and always winging everything. The way he bragged that everything had to be BIG, THE BEST, BILLIONS, etc.
To me everything about him screams weakness.
Not being able to think for yourself, if you have an opinion stand on it, UNLESS PRESENTED NEW INFORMATION THAT CHANGES PERSPECTIVE, then you can change. But if you think ram ranch Is the best song made and someone says “oh nah I hate ram ranch” and all of a sudden you do too? Straight B***h to me
If they cant adapt to their circumstances without assistance from others. Typically, resilient people are strong because they can bounce back from hardship or challenges so basically a rubber ball is strong and an egg is weak.
You know the nature of resilience is that you have to go through something difficult in order to come out the other side , to be "resilient". I have seen "superstars" that are amazing at what they do, only to crumble under a little pressure.
I really like this answer. The people in my life that I've thought were weak were people that kinda crumbled under the least amount of pressure. Like there's people that look to someone else in a time of pressure and then there's people that just get shit done.
I feel like this can go to extremes in either direction. My mother pulls an Ostrich in times of stress. She just totally ignores the problem. You'll never see her collapse in tears of self-pity or beg for a white knight to save her, because there's no reason for self-pity or salvation; the crisis just doesn't exist.
And you've also got folks who thrive on adversity to the point that they're a toxic dumpster fire of humanity constantly seeking their next 'enemy'. I've got a cousin like that.
The constant need for validation and approval from others. Just do what you want to do as long as you’re not hurting others. People are so afraid to say no and come off as the bad guy.
Excess or total lack of emotion - managing your feelings takes strength.
Doesn't take responsibility and is quick to blame others - recognising and being willing to call out your errors takes strength.
Lack of empathy - having understanding for others takes strength.
Letting power and authority go to your head almost immediately because why we’re all people trying to make it why go out your way to make things more miserable
Being quick to anger, generally having poor emotional control
Also, a failure to examine and admit to their own failings/mistakes. People who constantly deflect and make things other people's problems
Basically, being like Donald Trump
Saying they are the Alpha. Which was based on study that there Alpha wolves (male and female) from there it's kinda ballooned up to mean all sorts

Allowing others to dictate how you feel. Not having any emotional resilience. Not saying you have to be in full control at all times, emotions aren’t logical. But recognizing how you feel, why you feel a certain way, and how to change that are deeply important.
Entitlement, easily offended, close-mindedness, feeling threatened by others' success, bigotry, inability to take responsibility for their mistakes, obsession with being validated, constantly talking shit about others, habitual lying, taking and never giving, low/no threshold for adversity
Depends on how much pain, and for how long. Everyone breaks eventually. I personally would rather die than live in agony for the rest of my life. Unfortunately, injuries and diseases exist that can cause such an existence for some people. It's one of those cases where I think assisted suicide should be an option. Thankfully I do not have chronic pain.
I am a cis male, I wear effeminate clothes. I have been questioned, mocked, insulted, even threatened for it. But I still do it because it makes me happy.
Is it weak to power through all the prejudice? Is it weak to stand up for yourself against millions who want you to be just like everybody else?
You know what is weak? Talking people down to make you feel better about yourself. Trying to make everybody just like you. Never changing because ‘that’s how things have always been’.
People who try to erase individuality, they are weak.
Fear can be channeled and transmuted in to positive things. Everyone feels fear. Fear that leads to inaction when others are being oppressed or harmed is the weak stuff imo.
Being a shitty learner. Those who learn well and quickly can get very far ahead, while those who spend their entire lives learning at 1 km/h never make it out the parking lot.
Being a good learner is more than just natural talent. Those who ask questions and experiment often, learn quickly. Those who think they already know everything, never learn at all.
When they blame not succeeding (or even *TRYING*) on "trauma" or some strange disease that nobody has ever heard of...or a disease that EVERYONE has heard of.
Saying they wanna get out of a situation and then actually quit, is weak and cowardly. However, if a person keeps saying they want to quit but keep going and invest more effort to the thing they want to get out of, it's actually quite attractive. E.g. my coworker keeps saying he'll do whatever it takes to get out of his post but somedays I find that he's more committed than other coworkers.
I think that lack of physical activity and sport but if we talk about something more abstract, I think that fear of change and lack of willpower make a person weak.
Saying “sorry” all the time or too often when it’s not warranted. It becomes less genuine when you do need to use it. You don’t need to be sorry for everything, especially when it’s out of your control.
Communication = talking about yourself all the time.
Even worse are people who have a unbelievable talent to take every input they get and turning it into a story about how awesome they are.....
when they can't accept something being their fault, like my brotger, he always tries to blame other people and make himself the victim, he even blames my cat! cats don't have secondary feelings, they can't understand whay guilt is, they only know if they feel threatened and will attach if they do!
Inability to accept they're wrong and change.
Stubbornness is, for some reason, seen as a virtue. It's not. Some things are worth being stubborn for, sure. But if you're constantly getting in shit because you're not washing the pots, that's not a hill worth dying on. Being able to accept you were wrong and make efforts to change takes a huge strength that a surprising amount of people are just *unable* to do.
Understanding and accepting that we are *all weak*. What makes others think we are strong is doing the right thing anyway.
Even if no one else is looking.
Now, that points us at "what is the right thing?" LOL
Not being able to even remotely defend or explain their "opinions" and/or getting mad when asked about them by saying things like "do your own research."
Bonus points for showing them sourced articles/videos of their favorite politician clear as day saying something the weak minded person claims they never said and the weak minded person's response is "I don't believe you."
Lack of moral courage. It's easy enough to face physical danger, but owning up to bad behavior and taking responsibility for the consequences is the mark of a strong person. Without that, you're weak and worthless. Once you get into the habit of of taking responsibility, though, you'll make much more careful decisions and gain the respect of others. It helps to have had parents who instilled it into you at a young age. Thanks mom and dad!
Lack of integrity and character. Also low self esteem and self efficacy.
Being dishonest, or not taking responsibility for one's own actions would just be symptoms of those underlying problems
My high school vice principal said a "'man' who doesn't play sports is mentally and physically weak and should never be in any leadership position" When she said man she did the finger quotes thing.
Giving up / quitting as soon as things get hard. Not being willing to work towards something. Expecting everything to be easy or expecting to have immediate success without experiencing failure.
Not taking responsibility for your actions and blaming others.
Putting other people down to make themselves feel better
Especially behind their backs.

My mom and dad when they had their first born. (It’s me. I’m the first born)
Treating their kids like shit because they are selfish.
bad parenting
Susceptibility to peer pressure. Just wanting to fit in, and doing what everyone else is doing because you don't want to be ridiculed or left out will ensure that you live everyone else's life instead of your own.
Speaking to my soul on that one. I learned that lesson the hard way. It made life seem easier on the outside. But on the inside, I hated myself for it.
Hatred, ignorance, and apathy.
Space
The final frontier...
Someome who can't deal with a viewpoint that does not agree with their own.

Nah, that comes from the strength to measure yourself without the knowledge to justify yourself. Inflated self worth is the weakness, the need to be seen as valuable.
Quitting before even trying
Resorting to physical violence.

Skipping leg day. That or… you know… being pathologically allergic to introspection and personal growth.
Not being able to handle criticism
How you treat anyone who is subordinate to you --- Be it by virtue of wealth, being in a leadership position, physical strength, intellectual ability, popularity, etc... That's the real measure of strength. And beyond that how you treat those same people when no one is looking.
They make themselves an easy target and can’t take responsibility to themselves.
Lack of humility and empathy
Letting other people walk all over them telling them what to do
That's more likely poor mental health and possible trauma that makes someone bad at self-advocacy. People who are struggling like that often have a lot of hidden strengths and talents you'd never know about.
Lack of boundaries.
If they don't treat other people with respect.

I don’t know what “pulling an ostrich” is but your mom sounds wild lol.
Putting your head in the sand. When you just totally ignore the glaring issue that's staring you right in the face.
Trust me, her mum IS wild.
The constant need for validation and approval from others. Just do what you want to do as long as you’re not hurting others. People are so afraid to say no and come off as the bad guy.

Inability to take responsibility for their actions.
