ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Emotional intelligence

Emotional intelligence is all about being aware of your own emotions and the emotions of other people around you. We all have different emotions like happiness, sadness, frustration and anger. Being emotionally intelligent means that you can recognize how you and the people around you are feeling and that you can use this understanding to manage your own feelings and help the people around you with their feelings too. It helps us learn how to communicate better with others and make better decisions.
