This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

This is bait but emotional intelligence is understanding your emotions, not the emotions having intelligence
Everyone sees what they want to see. Anon is blind, always.
Or not very emotionally intelligent, if you will.
The contemporary use is from management theory.
It was a metric made up to measure management candidates. From there it got into the self-help industry, and now that's why everyone posts it on their dating profiles, because are looking for someone to manage their emotions for them.
I usually think of it in terms of recognizing others' emotions and adjusting your words/actions to better cooperate or de-escalate
I'd say they go hand in hand. Intelligently rgulating your emotional responses
