Emotional intelligence has changed my life. Ever since I started working on it years ago, I see so much more in people. Of course there’s still plenty of room for my self-improvement :-)

I believe I used to know how people where feeling but I didn't used to care. I also was never able to understand my own emotions and I still can't. I believe I have high social emotional intelligence but I choose to ignore it because peoples emotions tend to make things more difficult than they need to be unless I specifically feel like I should make it a point to pay attention to emotions and react accordingly which isn't often. I'm here because recently I've been noticing confusing feelings that make me feel sick or scared and I don't understand why or what is causing them so id like to learn emotional intelligence related to myself so I know what causing me to feel this way.
