Thread: Emotional Intelligence - The good and the bad!

Emotional intelligence aka EI/ EQ/ EIQ is the ability to recognize our own emotions and those of others,distinguishing them and labeling them. Having an EI is normally told to be a positive thing but it has some bad impacts as well.


When it comes to success, people debate that EI is more important than anything else. This may be because it helps to build more social relationship and social awareness.Having a high EI could also improve our self awareness and assertiveness, helping us to have a robust emotional vocabulary.


On the other hand,having more emotional concerns might push us into conflict.People with Emotional intelligence tend to analyze too much on everything, which could make them paralyzed in decision making.There are chances of self-doubt at some point due to this extra analyzing habit.

In my point of view, Emotional Intelligence drains us both mentally and emotionally than giving any positive effects.

It's make you stress but At the end you will get the solution to handle the situation.In my point of view EI is important Just we need to handle it properly.

So you are saying that if we handle it in the right way it'll definitely end up with positive outcomes, right? But in my view when we get stressed we cannot even handle simple things and the possibility of getting the right solution is less.

Yeah, I experienced myself.

As I said earlier It's depend on the way we're Handling our stress.If we allow our stress to consume us we will definitely end up as mess.With experience you will find a way to manage your stress.

Absolutely right Shana. I've seen people loosing those precious moments just because of their unnecessary analysis.Overthinking creates a problem that wasn't there earlier.
