[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, you sound like a thoughtful, gentle person with a good head on your shoulders.  Your friend sounds pretty insensitive and clueless.  Oftentimes we call this personality type "confident" but in reality these people are just as or most likely more insecure than the rest of us - such as the PP on here who talked about how everyone else was sweaty but she was GREAT!  Do you have any idea how boastful you sound?  That's not confidence, that's just a lack of emotional IQ.

"Boastful" PP here.

I'm just talking like that because this is anonymous. I'd NEVER dare to talk like that IRL. I don't really know how you can conclude from a couple of phrases where I described my experience that I have no control over my emotions. Just because I was not showing my excitement and apprehension does it mean I have a problem of emotional intelligence? Where did that come from???  :shock:

And as far as I know, there's no such a thing as "emotional IQ", there's what we all know as IQ and EI - one's ability to perceive, manage and understand  their emotions. (see? here I can talk like that no probs but I'd never correct someone like this in person)

You know what, OP?

The reaction of this PP reminds me of a very common occurrence in my life that I almost forgot about. Some people have always called me pretentious, arrogant, snob but much much more people have called me self confident, competent, optimistic, bubbly, cheerful, etc. Through out my life I've found that people who want to grow and learn migrate towards me and they're always around while people with jealous and envious personalities tend to keep a distance and make comments about me but they never really just leave me behind.

This reminds me of something mom always said to me when I was growing up -" Your attitude instigates envy, jealousy and anger. Be careful with what you say and who you associate with" And I carry those words in my heart, always.[/quote]
