You might have seen people, who cry easily, who take things personally, or those who are emotionally attached to objects that we don’t care about...I guess you might have visualized the same personality when you make out the topic. But emotional intelligence is actually unrelatable to these signs and supported a totally monumental chracter.

And so to clear these confusion I’ve searched on the internet and Here is what I’ve found.

Emotional intelligence (otherwise

known as emotional quotient or EQ) is the ability to understand, use, and manage your own emotions in positive ways to relieve stress, communicate effectively, empathize with others, overcome challenges and defuse conflict.

Assets in Social awareness

Emotional intelligence determines our ability to manage our feelings and relationships.EQ and IQ are the difference between being able to function well and being able to function well enough to succeed. The skills involved in emotional intelligence are self-awareness, self-regulation, motivation, empathy, and social skills. ... Embracing the variation of human emotion in the workplace can have realistic benefits, such as better collaboration among employees and a happier workplace, according to Rex Huppke.Studies have shown that a high emotional quotient (or EQ) boosts career success, entrepreneurial potential, leadership talent, health, relationship satisfaction, humor, and happiness.The fundamental reasoning is that, whereas IQ is very hard to change, EQ can increase with intentional practice and training.

Self awareness

Emotional Self-Awareness is the potential thing to understand they own emotions and their effects on they performance. You are aware of their on going emotions and why they’re feeling it and how it helps or hurts what they’re are trying to do. they sense how others see you and so they set their self-image with a larger reality. People with high emotional self-awareness know how they feel at any given time, can identify the source of those feelings and can recognize how the feelings manifest in physical symptoms, such as sweaty palms and headaches.

They do say yes when it comes to help someone, but they even don’t ignore their priorities or postponed their important work which should be done. They’re having a special demand of people, in the society.

They can rein themselves in, delay gratification, account for the needs of others, and balance their desires accordingly. They can also walk the middle ground between initiative and patience.

2. Possessive social skills

This is a very broad term. In general, having strong social skills means having the ability to converse in a clear, concise, and courteous way. In a nutshell, good social skills are the summation aggregate of all of the components of EQ: self-awareness, emotional regulation, and empathy.

They don’t get frustrated

High EQ individuals control their interactions with toxic people by keeping their feelings in check.They identify their own emotions and don’t allow anger or frustration to fuel the chaos. They also consider the difficult person’s standpoint and are able to find solutions and common ground.
