The idea of Emotional Intelligence (EI) was propounded by David Golemann.

He defines it as a person's ability to identify the emotion of himself and those of others and manage it better for a good interpersonal relationship. It has the following components

1. Self awareness
2. Self regulation
3. Empathy
4. Motivation
5. Social skills

Emotional intelligence helps one to decode if their reactions would affect the partner negatively. That would allow the person to be in more control of how they react to things. Emotional intelligence helps to curtail unnecessary hurts in a relationship.

Emotional intelligence is the ability to understand and manage your own emotions, while also recognizing and empathizing with others'. Personally, I've found it most helpful during conflicts, staying calm, listening fully, and responding thoughtfully instead of reacting emotionally has improved my relationships and decisions.

Emotional intelligence is about managing your own emotion and that of others as well. It’s a trait that would help you build a strong relationship and it will also help you to sail through social issues or situations effectively.

It's about how good you are with emotions, not just yours, but with other people too, the ability to recognize what triggers what and how to fix it

Emotional intelligence is the ability to recognize, understand, and manage your own emotions, as well as recognize and influence the emotions of others.
It involves skills like empathy, self-awareness, emotional regulation, and effective communication.
People with high emotional intelligence tend to build stronger relationships and handle stress or conflict more effectively.

Emotional intelligence is all about being able to manage yourself so that you don't let other people be affected negatively by your emotions. It also requires that you understand how people around you are feeling and try to manage them.
