Everyone has a back story.
Some are horrific, damn terrifying. Others you may consider pretty normal.
In every case however there is a person of influence and/or a defining moment.
Something that shapes who you are, why you think or act a certain way.
The strength I see is when we use that as fuel to drive us. To rise above the situation, to be better, to help others.
Think about your own influences, it may deepen your understanding of self, then give yourself some slack.
