Psychology says people who get over hardships of any kind with ease aren't necessarily less emotional or untouched by difficult experiences. A person who appears to recover quickly can still feel grief, fear, anger or stress. The difference may be in how the person processes these emotions and responds to the situation. Psychology links this behavior with resilience, emotional regulation and cognitive flexibility. Such people may acknowledge what happened instead of avoiding it. They may then focus on what they can control. Past experiences can also influence their response to future problems. This does not mean that recovery always happens quickly or that everyone responds to hardship in the same way.
