Pyro Posted June 20, 2005 Posted June 20, 2005 Well, it has been months now since my breakup. I am doing just fine. I have not let it get to me because the relationship was a disaster and I know that I will be able to do much better. Anyways, I was just thinking about one of the last conversations that we had together. She told me some of the qualities that I have that she really liked about me. One of them mentioned was that she said that I am "emotionally intelligent". I sort of have an idea what that means, but I am not 100%. What do you guys think that it means for someone to be emotionally intelligent?
westernxer Posted June 20, 2005 Posted June 20, 2005 It means you're stable, I guess. That term is an oxymoron if I ever heard one.
Author Pyro Posted June 20, 2005 Author Posted June 20, 2005 It caught me off guard, thats for sure. I sort of was thinking that it had to do with being stable. I thought maybe that there was more to it.
whichwayisup Posted June 21, 2005 Posted June 21, 2005 It could mean you were "emotionally" attentive to her needs. Had no problems showing affection or emotion with her. I'd take it as a positive thing and make sure you embrace that quality into the next woman that walks into your life.

I never had any problems displaying affection or emotion with her. I do take it as a very positive thing.
millefiori Posted June 23, 2005 Posted June 23, 2005 I read about emotional intelligence a couple of years ago. It was a book by Daniel Goleman - "Emotional intelligence. Why it can matter more than IQ". I'd recommend you to read it, it's really interesting.
