 Pretty much all of my early adulthood, late teens, I felt like there was like two different parts of me. There was like this uncontrollable monkey mind like emotional eight brain that I just absolutely hated. And I had to feel like I put it in a cage all the time and keep it controlled. And then I had my logical brain, which was in my mind, it was the best brain. It was, you know, it makes sense. You know, I don't want to do things that don't make sense. I don't want to do things that that don't aren't productive to me. And I think that that disconnect between my emotions and the actions and the things I did and the things I thought really made it hard for me to understand how other people worked. Yeah, I used to think they're just crazy beings. They just run around and do stuff that makes them feel good. It's like, like they scared me. Your typicals were really sort of hard to emotionally based rather than logically based. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, well, it's, yeah, it led to me, led to me having a lot of thoughts of superiority when I was when I was you and go, I was like, well, you're going and doing this stuff because you feel good. Well, I don't do that, you know. I'm, I'm a logical being. I'm an adult. I know what I'm doing. And obviously it's, it's, you know, I had a lot of work to do in terms of integrating my emotional side, but that exact attitude is one of the reasons I started my emotional intelligence training course online is because I noticed that attitude a lot. I noticed it in myself. I noticed it in my colleagues in my engineering office. The one that basically put intellect and logic above emotions. And it's like, haven't, haven't we kind of evolved out of emotions? Do we really need them anymore? And actually the answer is, the answer is, yeah, we do actually. And for anyone listening who is thinking, yeah, but isn't logic actually significantly better. I would recommend a book called Thinking Fast and Slow. It's a really good way to understand how we have two brains that do very different things. One of them is the logical brain. And as you might be surprised to know, the logical brain is the slow brain. It is incredibly painfully heavy and slow. And it does some things really well. But if you try and use it to do everyday tasks, you're going to run out of executive functioning resources and you're going to be overwhelmed by social situations and you're going to feel like there's a lot of anxiety and stress in your life because you don't have enough resources to do what everyone else seems to be doing really easily. And one of the reasons for that is because we don't use the other part of our brain very effectively or efficiently. So when you start thinking about it like that, all of a sudden it's not emotional intelligence, it's brain training. I am training my emotional brain to do what I want it to do and serve me. And it's like having a personal assistant or something where I just delegate all of the non-important tasks, the ones that can be done really quickly that don't need a super amount of precision and they just all get done. Things like small talk, things like other social interactions and figuring out what I feel and things like that. Just the fast emotional brain does them in an instant without any effort whatsoever, without draining my intellectual capacity on Monday and everyday things. Yeah. So I mean like one of the things that really separates us from animals is our ability to have that sort of higher cognition. But it actually it does, as you said, it requires a lot of energy. Like a lot of the reasons why we have things like routines and habits is so that we don't have to think about things, that we just act. Like we just this is what we do and we do this and we feel this way and then we go and feel that way. And you know, you need the bathroom. You don't have to think, hmm, should I go to the bathroom? You just go because it's like an emotional sort of habit kind of thing. Yeah, I think that's that's really worth highlighting to a lot of people because as you said, I've heard that from a lot of people as well. You know, like whether it's from close friends, whether people are doing it sort of cognitively like they actually, you know, actively trying to push emotions to the side or whether they just don't really think about that side of them.
