14 Signs You’re An Emotionally Intelligent Person by Betcliq25(m): 11:02pm On Sep 24, 2015
1. You’re constantly striving to understand the human
condition.
You notice everything – the way someone hesitates before they
speak, the way their eyes light up when they see someone they
love. You often notice all the things other people seem to miss and
you seek understanding for the logic and motivation behind how
people behave. You want to understand the human condition
from every angle because it helps give you insight and
perspective on your own life.

2. You’re inherently curious about the way other people
live.
You love talking to people from varying cultures and backgrounds
because you love learning about how other people live and what
makes them tick. You enjoy seemingly random interactions with
strangers because that’s where you can often learn the most
about other people.

3. You’re self-aware about your shortcomings and
strengths.
You know the things about yourself that make you not such an
ideal person and you’re also aware of the things that make you
really great. You know you have a bad habit of procrastinating on
projects until the last minute or maybe you know you can be a
bad communicator at times, but because you’re aware of these
things you actively try to work on them when they come up. You
also know what makes you excel in life and you’re always looking
for ways to improve on those traits.

4. You place an emphasis on living in the moment rather
than in the past or in the future.
You don’t believe living in the past or hoping for the future has
any value here, in the now. You would rather experience what’s
currently happening as deeply and fully as you can instead of
reliving the memories of yesterday or the stories of promise for
tomorrow. You have accepted your past for what it is and know
you can no longer go back, just as you understand your future is
merely a dream you like to live in to give you hope but have yet
to actually experience.

5. You actively try to understand your moods and change
them when they go bad.
When you get angry, sad or jealous about something you have a
self-awareness about it. You experience your emotions as they’re
happening with the perspective of trying to understand why
exactly you’re feeling this way. You understand emotions are the
way your body processes your thoughts and because of this,
you attempt to alter your thoughts before spiraling emotionally
out of control.

6. You confront people as issues arise instead of letting
them fester within.
When an issue comes up between you and another person you
would rather deal with it right away than not saying anything at all
and letting it create residual problems between you.

7. Your motivations come from within yourself, not from
outside influences.
You live for yourself and the motivations within. You listen to
what people say – your peers, friends, parents, people in your
industry – but ultimately, you’re going to seek out a life and
achievements based on what drives you deep within yourself.

8. You’re always working on personal development.
You feel restless when life becomes stagnant so when you’ve hit a
lull you begin to think about how to get out of it. You start
considering your interests, job, friends, relationships, and how
you could do things differently to improve upon these areas.

9. You genuinely enjoy listening to other people and
helping them with their problems.
You have an ability to make other people feel calm and accepted in
your presence. When they’re around you they feel like they can
say anything and you aren’t going to judge them for what they’ve
done but instead, you’ll actually listen and give constructive
feedback. It’s not just one way for you though. You genuinely
enjoy connecting with people, whether it’s your friends or family,
or random people that talk to you, and listening to what’s going
on in their life.

10. You have an empathetic nature for everyone.
When people talk to you about the struggles they’re currently
experiencing, you can often feel and understand their pain, even if
it’s something you haven’t personally experienced. You can
imagine what it must be like for them and how this obstacle is
affecting the rest of their life.

11. You’re somewhat of a social chameleon.
You change your behavior based on who you’re with. This
doesn’t mean that you aren’t genuine in your personality but that
you’re aware of other people’s moods and you try to match their
energy level so you’re on the same wave length.

12. You listen to your intuition and let it guide you when
making tough decisions.
As soon as you get that subtle hit of your intuition telling you
something isn’t right you know you should listen to what your
body is telling you and look a bit deeper into the situation before
proceeding further.

13. You don’t have a problem saying “no thanks” if you
need to.
As much as you understand other people’s desires and you want
to help them out, you also understand what’s best for you and
your situation. You’re not afraid of other people’s feelings and
telling them no when you have to.

14. You can read people well.
advertisement
You have an inherent sense about people and understand what
they want or what they’re thinking without them having to say
anything directly about it. Through social cues and behaviors you
just get a feeling about things and know when someone is telling
you something, even when they’re not saying anything at all.
