21、Are You Emotional Intelligent?
They’re curious about people. It doesn’t matter if they’re introverted（内向的）or extroverted, emotionally intelligent people are curious about everyone around them. 【1】 —much of emotional intelligence comes down to social awareness, for example, the ability to read other people, know what they’re about, and understand what they’re going through.
They are difficult to offend. If they have a firm grasp of whom they are, it’s difficult for someone to say or do something that easily gets them annoyed.【2】, High EQ individuals keep their feelings in control. When they need to meet an annoying person, they approach the situation reasonably. They identify their own emotions and don’t allow anger or frustration to fuel chaos.
【3】. Emotionally intelligent people master their emotions because they understand them, and they use an extensive vocabulary of feelings to do so. While many people might describe themselves as simply feeling “bad,” emotionally intelligent people can clearly explain whether they feel “irritable,” “frustrated,” or “anxious.” The more specific your word choice, the better insight you have into exactly how you are feeling, what caused it, and what you should do about it.
They limit their caffeine intake. Drinking excessive amounts of caffeine leads to the release of adrenaline（肾上腺素）, which is the source of the fight-or-flight response. The fight-or-flight mechanism avoids reasonable thinking in favor of a faster response to survival.【4】, but not so great when they are responding to a curt（唐突无礼的）e-mail.
When making plans with friends or family, they will say their schedule is “flexible”, rather than “empty” or “free”.【5】, while not placing any hard limits.
A．And they are good judges of character
B．This is excellent when a bear is chasing you
C．They have a powerful emotional vocabulary
D．This can control the length or frequency of any activities
E．They are also quite important to the people around them
F．Self-confidence and open-mindedness create a pretty thick skin
G．This makes emotionally intelligent people as perfect as possible
