Emotional intelligence is an interesting subject

What does it even mean to be “emotionally intelligent?”

I’ve gone through most of my life feeling pretty great!

I would never blow up on people and I’d hardly get angry

Yes I’d get sad here and there but for the most part I felt happy and excited

Although that was how I truly felt, the methods, mindsets and techniques I learned were simply unsustainable most of the time

So we’re going to dive into where I’m at now and dissecting the flaws of my past approaches

"Repressing emotions will come back to haunt you. They look for justifiable ways to express themselves." Damn. That hit home.

[ChessMasteryOfficial]

*Courage doesn’t always roar. Sometimes courage is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying, ‘I will try again tomorrow.'*

[TheLifeFormulaa]

This resonated with me big time. I used to repress my emotions until I realized how it seeped out in nasty ways. I still repress my emotions sometimes and this video was very helpful.

[annabethsims]

I feel like repression of emotions is respected in this society, and expressions of emotion are criticized.

[TanvirAhmed]

There are certain emotions that will kill your drive; frustration and confusion. You can change these to a positive force. Frustration means you are on the verge of a breakthrough. Confusion can mean you are about to learn something. Expect the breakthrough and expect to learn.

[octane]

Yeah. I repressed my emotions so hard that I felt like a sociopath. That's when I realized repression isn't a sustainable strategy. It's good for short-term, but you got to process through it eventually

[alissajames]

I really appreciate how honest and open you are. Makes everything that you say so much more relatable. Thank you.

[onawavelength]

This video hit me so deeply, i've been feeling flat for so long now, and I realize it's because i hold back my emotions due to fear of repercussions, just like we were taught to be "proper". I'm 21 and I have an extremely hard time enjoying myself, especially around friends. I have isolated myself and only keep up menial relationships with those around me. I hope i can learn this honesty with myself and others, thank you for the info.

COC: The classic example is the person who gets yelled at by the boss they don't say anything
Me: Ok ok I can understand this so far
COC: Then they come home and kick the dog
ME: Its probably just an extreme exa-
COC: This is what we all do
Me: Wait what

[calebwilliams]

I've been struggling with this for literally my entire life- for so long that I didnt even know it was wrong. I was planning to get a therapist this January because I knew something was wrong but didnt know what. You've hit the nail on the head for me. Thank you and God bless you.

[NickShirley]

Charlie is the perfect example of charisma on command! Anyone else agree?

[Claidissa]

This is literally exactly what I'm working on in therapy. Thank you for putting it so concisely.

[geonah]

Serendipitously, I needed to hear this. I grew up suppressing my emotions as a survival tactic against my abuser. But now in my later adult life, I need to rewire everything, because those survival tactics no longer serve me. Thank you for your sincerity.

[carriekay]

Omg, this has hit home in a big way! Being in a relationship where I couldn't figure out why I was feeling numbed out by a partner who suppresses emotions. I was shamed for being authentic, but yet I was dying inside with an overwhelming feeling of "Something isn't right here, why do I want to run from this person?" It was suffocating, and I thought I was a terrible person for feeling this perpetual angst. This video gave me the ability to breathe again! I am amazed. I thought I would never get free, but I did. I'll never go back to being emotionally suffocated.

[RandomRobotOnYouTube]

I relate to this. I usually supress my emotions and everything is backfiring to my mental health. You don't know how happy I am to stumble upon this. Feels good to find something I can relate too

[ricardoferes]

Don't kick the dog my fellow viewers. 4:54

[heartyreasoning]

This is too weird. I found out today that I've been ignoring my feelings again (has happened before, caused me to burn out big time). I just found your channel last week because I'm trying to improve my horrible presentation skills for my channel. And now this video is the first one to pop up today just when I needed it the most. Thank you, for making this video and putting it out there. I can't tell you how much I needed this.

[smithy_]

This actually made me cry, so informative and relatable. Thank you. This is somethign relatable yet idk if I could have expressed it any better.

[Aquarellina]

This is extremely helpful. We can't bury our emotions we have to get them out somewhere, at least in a journal or let that person know how we felt

[marcusjulian]

I appreciate your honesty, to make yourself vulnerable just to help other people.
The moment I realized I was suppressing those negative emotions was a deep one.
First youre tough, youre strong you can handle all that people throw at you. Then people think its okay to treat you bad because you never let them know what bothers you.
Time passes and you experience a loss of control over yourself, youre easy to trigger and your suppressed emotions explodes like a volcano.
From this state, without adressing and working on your feelings, it only gets worse.
The absolute most basic step to get over this is to be brutally honest to yourself.
Accept the fact you have this vicious, narrow-minded thoughts and emotions. You are a human being, it is absolutely okay to have these. Everyone has these to a certain degree.
Get to know them. Take your time to fully understand where they truly have their roots.
You need to adress the problem first before you are able to work in it.
