human resilience
Bouncing back ability
Human resilience is the capacity to recover from adversity, trauma, or hardship—to bend without breaking.
The term appears in psychology, disaster response, and self-help contexts: Human resilience in the face of tragedy never ceases to amaze me.
It encompasses both individual coping abilities and collective responses to crisis, suggesting not just survival but adaptation and growth through difficulty.
