What exactly does “emotionally intelligent” mean?

i think it means stuff like being self-aware, aware of ur own emotions, emotional regulation, understanding others' emotions, being empathic to others, these sort of skills!!😊😊

[beenherebefore]

to me is someone who knows how to control their emotions and knows how to read the room.

It could perhaps mean the ability to get what we want through manipulation?

Or alternatively: to know the moment when it's better to not speak.

it means women re making up terms to make guys think that they are not open enough with their feelings.

It's the participation trophy of all the intelligences.

It's trophy time 🏆 lol

[Danny_dan92]

I don’t get it

[purplepoppy]

The implications is it's not real intelligence, the title I'd merely constructed so dumb people can feel included

[jahaims]

It means they have honest introspection and act upon it accordingly
