05 Jun Real Emotional Intelligence
”Real EQ is not just blindly following social standards; it’s do you understand emotions well enough to know their cause, parts, and future effects.”
Reflection:
Copying what everyone else is doing is not EQ, that is following. Changing who you are to fit in is not EQ, that is insecurity. Constantly being agreeable is not EQ, that is passivity.
Real EQ is understanding the motivations behind emotions, their source of manifestation, and how they will impact things moving forward. This type of intelligence is born from knowing yourself, knowing others, and carefully learning about the art of emotion over time.
