Being emotionally intelligent means not only you understand others’ emotions and know how to respond to their emotions, but also you understand your own and know how to manage them. Another part of being emotionally intelligent is being able to help other people while also showing empathy. Managing your emotions but not bottling them up. You should also be able to motivate yourself to get a job done even if you don’t want to do something. A big part is being able to persuade people in a good way! You can start to learn how to do this by practicing listening to people and taking feedback and communicating with others. Try to recognize your weaknesses and others’ strengths and collaborate and have fun with others!
Why is this important? Your whole life you will need to be emotionally intelligent in everyday situations such as if your friend is feeling sad then you need emotional intelligence to understand why they are feeling that way and also how you can make them feel better.
