Understanding Others
The Emotional Intelligence Social Skill sub domain related to sensing feelings and perspectives of others. This includes taking active interest in their concerns. This is closely related to the Marine Corps Parenting Principle of Know your family and look out for their welfare.
The emotionally intelligent woman can “sense” others feelings by listening carefully to them to hear what they are really saying. She knows how to read and use body languages and uses that insight to bring warmth when it is needed the most. Since she takes an active interest in the concern of other he would never use this skill to strike when she feels her victim is most vulnerable. She does not twist words or rely on practice deflections or resort to pat ad hominem insults to inflict pain. When she does realize she has been the source of someone else’s pain she behaves conscientiously to make amends.
