“Unlocking the Secrets: 7 Surprising Traits of Adults Lacking Emotional Intelligence from Childhood”
3) Difficulty handling criticism
Without a solid foundation of emotional intelligence, handling criticism can feel like navigating a minefield.
When we’re criticized, our brain tends to interpret it as a threat, triggering the fight or flight response. That’s why we may become defensive or lash out when faced with negative feedback.
People with high emotional intelligence are better at taking criticism because they see it as an opportunity to learn and grow, rather than a personal attack.
For those who weren’t taught emotional intelligence in their childhood, it may take some time and effort to shift this perspective. But with practice and patience, it’s definitely achievable.
