 Good afternoon, everyone. This is Ms. Lili Chishik from the Department of Economics. I warmly welcome each and every one of you to the webinar session on emotional intelligence organized by the Department of Economics Tetsuo College. Today, we have a very interesting topic that is on emotional intelligence. And I'm sure all of you have heard of the abstract kind of bio of our guest, Pekati, today. So you will be speaking of emotional intelligence. So emotional intelligence is the capacity to understand and manage the emotions. The skills involved in emotions, intelligence, are self-awareness, self-regulation, motivation, empathy, and social skills. Today, we are living in a world full of uncertainty. And this heartening news, we can see this. We can hear this heartening news, everyone. And most of us are affected by this appendix in one way or another. So we cannot control the difficult situation. We cannot control the appendix and all that it brings. But we are faced with stressful and difficult situations. It can emerge in many forms in our daily life. But the need for development and emotional intelligence is that one can cope with any situation in life and live a happy and successful life, and one does well in personal as well as professional life. And also, even in the students' life, students with higher level of emotional intelligence are able to manage themselves and to live with others around themselves and help to develop and improve self-motivations and effective communications skills essential to help students become a confident learner. So this is the reason why we have chosen on the topic emotional intelligence to help the students in this difficult situation. When one is faced with pandemic and when they are facing a lot of uncertainty in their lives, we hope that through this session, the students will learn how to regulate their emotional being, how to regulate themselves and live a good and balanced life. So today, I'm very happy to welcome our speaker, she is Ms. Nathini Nipalmai, counseling psychologist. So she is specialized in educational psychology from Martin Luther University. Yes, you can please unmute your microphone, the participants. So currently, she's best in directing. She is a school counselor, teaches psychology and also gives a life school programs at Botel member of school, Causium. She holds double master degree philosophy from the new and emissive counseling psychology. She is also a research scholar for Causium, her area of study in attitude of students among travel students to our mathematics and academic performance. And I'm very happy and glad to welcome her to our webinar session. And also thank you to the speaker for accepting our request to come and speak to our students in spite of your music schedule. And also she, I'm so happy because she is my roommate and my close friend. So I hope we will have a very engaging and insightful session. Okay, so I will be giving her the time, but after her talk, we'll have a Q&A session that is you can post your question, you can unmute your mind and give your ask questions or also you can put it in the chat box at the end of the session. And yeah, participants, you are kindly requested to unmute your microphone, okay? And also you can turn off your captions if you are not able to hear the voice clearly. So without further ado, I give the rest of the time to continue there and please, you can have your time. Okay, thank you Ali. Am I audible? Yes, it's audible. Okay, thank you for the introduction. Okay, so I'm not going to show the video, but I'll directly start with the presentation, okay? Okay. Is it okay to allow me to do the presentation? Somebody is to present things. Oh, I think somebody needs to be here. Okay, thank you. Okay, Ali, is the screen visible? Yes, it's visible. Okay. So thank you for having me in your session. Okay, so today we will learn about the basic understanding of what emotional intelligence is. So this is a modern day concept and a lot of psychologists would like to give credit to emotional intelligence for a person's success rather than the IQ, the intelligent questions that a person has, okay? So in order to understand emotional intelligence, I would like to break this term into two words, emotion and intelligence, okay? So if I ask you what emotion is, then a majority of you might say it is a feeling. So it is correct, okay? But when we talk about emotion, it is not just a feeling, but it also involves reaction. So whenever you feel something, you react. Whenever you're angry, happy or sad, you react, right? So when we talk about emotion, it's not just feeling, but it is also a reaction. And it is also important to know that it has no gender. Sometimes we attribute some of the emotions as boyish and some are girlish, okay? But it is very important to know that emotion has got biological determinants, which means your biology made up your emotions, okay? That's the reason why it is not wise to label emotions as masculine and feminine, okay? So let's go to intelligence. Intelligence is the ability of a person to learn or to apply the knowledge or skills. So if you're able to learn something or able to learn new things and if you're able to apply the knowledge that you have learned, so you are an intelligent person, okay? So what is emotional intelligence then? It is the combination of emotions and intelligence. So overall, it is the person's ability to learn and apply emotions. So what do you mean by learning and applying emotions? So let's try to cover the area of what is meant by learning and applying emotions. So here are four areas that you need to understand, okay? So the first one is learning how to manage your emotions. We all have the positive and the negative emotions and we understand that whatever emotions that we feel, we have the tendency to have an effect on the other person as well, okay? So learning how to navigate and regulate, especially the negative emotions such as anger, hatred, okay, those are the examples. Learning how to navigate your anger or your hatred in a more healthy way is meant by managing your emotions, okay? The second one is understanding emotion. A lot of times we're confused what we are exactly feeling, okay? Sometimes people might say when they're feeling bored, they might confuse that as sadness, okay? But be able to turn the emotion correctly and understand what exactly you're feeling at the moment and at a particular situation is very, very important. That is meant by understanding emotion, okay? And the next one is learning how to use your emotions. It means that you know how to use your emotions appropriately and also learn how to express your emotion depending on the situations that you are in. For example, if you're going to a funeral and if you're having a good time and you're laughing out loud out here, it is a very inappropriate emotions that you are showing, okay? But emotional intelligence is learning how to use your emotions and express yourself in an appropriate manner. So the last one is perceiving emotion. It means you use your senses. We have five sense organs, right? So using your senses to understand the emotions of other people. So when you look at your teacher, sometimes they're not in good mood. So they didn't have to tell you that they're not in the good mood. You just look at them and then you perceive the emotion and you know that they're not in a good mood. That is perceiving emotion, okay? So emotional intelligence encompasses all this for areas, okay? So let's try to understand what is meant by emotionally intelligent person. So according to two social psychologists, Peter, Celery and John Mayer, they feel that to be an emotionally intelligent person, one need to acquire five skills, okay? So we will be talking about the five skills that an emotionally intelligent person should have. So the first one is self-awareness. So when we talk about self-awareness, what does it mean? It means that you are conscious of yourself. To be conscious of yourself, it means that you know your inside and outside of yourself. You know your strength and your weaknesses. You know the bad side, the good side of you. You also understand that you have the ugly side and the beautiful side of you. And it is also meant that you understand your physical needs, you understand your emotional needs as well as your mental state, okay? So that is being self-aware. And the second one is empathy. Empathy is being able to walk in the shoe of someone else, which means that you're able to feel the same thing as the other person is feeling, okay? So remember, empathy is different from sympathy because sympathy, when you sympathize with somebody, you are feeling pity for that person and you felt sorry for that person, and then, but in your heart, you're glad that you are the person who's going through that situation, okay? But to sympathize with somebody means you are really feeling the sadness of that person or the happiness of that person and who are walking in the shoe of that person. So that is being empathizing, okay? And the next one is self-regulation. So being able to be in control of yourself, especially with your impulses such as your anger, aggression, or you being in control of yourself and you're able to regulate whatever negative feeling that you have to do a more healthy one and you're able to express yourself, that is being able to self-regulate, okay? And the next one is motivation. Motivation is being aware of what motivates you and also being aware of what motivates other people. Remember, when we talk about emotional intelligence, it's not just about you knowing yourself, but it is also about you knowing other people as well. That's why you have to know what motivates you as well as other people. And the last skills that you need to have is the social skills. So these are the skills that you need to develop in order to have a good relationship with other people, okay? So what are some of the skills that you need? Some of the skills like learning how to communicate effectively with other people or learning to be assertive or maybe learning how to be a team player. So these are some of the skills that you need in order to have a good emotional intelligence, okay? So let's talk about EQ and IQ. As I've mentioned before, many of the psychologists would like to give credit to EQ for a person's success in life. May it be in personal success or may it be a professional success, okay? Maybe in the olden times, maybe around 50 years ago, many of the people would say that IQ is responsible for a person's success. Maybe because they would view success as a person who is earning a lot of money or having good social status as a society, okay? But in the present time, EQ is very important because people have begun to understand the importance of overall well-being. So in order to have overall well-being, having the capacity to think and perform will not give you an overall well-being. But you need to have emotional intelligence as well, okay? So let us go further and see why emotional intelligence is so important. Let's say you are applying for a job, okay? So when you apply for a job, you have passed out from your university with 99.9%. Okay? And there are also other people out there, certain people are also out there who have the same degree with the same marks and you also have conducted the IQ test and you all have scored 130 above in the IQ test, okay? So out of all these people, what makes the employer choose that one person who is fit for the job? So they look into the EQ of a person, okay? Which means that they need somebody who knows how to have a good relationship with other people. They also need somebody who knows how to work and make good decisions under tough times or when they are being pressured, okay? So you need emotional intelligence. If you're supposed to work in a reputed organization or any business firm, okay? And the next one is it also increases leadership ability. Emotional intelligence increases leadership ability. So in the present time, a leader is not just a person who gives command and demands from the worker to do the work and he wants other people to listen to him. It's not the case anymore, okay? Because in the present time, it is all about everyone contributing to the success of where they are working. So if the person has, if the boss or if the leader in the agency has a good emotional intelligence, then he will be able to understand the different needs of his workers, okay? And then whenever there is a conflict because of the differences in idea, a good leader will be able to resolve the conflict understanding the background and idea that they have and he'll be able to come to a good decision-making. And at the same time, he'll be able to empathize with his workers. So to have emotional intelligence is very important if a person has to be leader someday, okay? And the next one is having a good emotional intelligence will improve in decision-making. As we all know, emotions do not have right or wrong, okay? It doesn't have any rational thinking. So a person who has a good emotional intelligence will be able to rise above the emotions. And whenever a person is able to rise above any emotions, then he will be able to see the situation clearly and will be able to make a good judgment based on your mind or your brain, okay? So that's the reason why a person needs to make decision when they are not emotional, okay? And the next one is a person who has good emotional intelligence will suffer less stress. The reason is that he or she knows that there are things that are happening around, there are irritating people, there are people who are very negative and there are also situations which it is out of control for him. And he is aware of that and this awareness helps him stay focused on the things that are important at the moment and staying focused on the things that is important to him. He'll be able to avoid the unnecessary conflict that is happening around him, okay? So this helps him to lower down the level of stress even though things are happening around him, okay? And the next one is if a person is able to resolve conflict in a healthy way or if a person has a healthy relationship with other people and within himself and if a person experiences less stress and if he's able to make good decisions in life and if he's able to manage his emotions well overall this person is going to be very happy, okay? This happiness will lead a person to be more productive in work and overall it will give a personal and a professional well-being to a person. So at the end of the day, what is the question? IQ is more important or EQ is more important. I would say we also need a brain, we also need the heart. The brain and the heart together will make a very successful person in life, okay? So that's all I want to share about today and thank you. If you have any questions, we will have a discussion now, okay? Okay, EQ is a mine for sharing your thoughts and emotional intelligence. I'm sure that students have really liked this session because we will, should we have the EQ or shall we go straight to the question now? I think we should go straight to the questioning. Yeah, yeah, we're going to go straight. So students, we have a presentation, so please feel free to ask questions. You can unmute your mic, microphone and ask questions or also if you don't feel free, you can put your questions in the chat box, okay? So please take this opportunity to hear all your thoughts. Yes, okay, Miss, we have one question. In the meantime, the rest of the students also you can put your questions in the chat box or also please feel free to unmute your mic and ask questions, okay? Yeah, this is a question from Abilio. She's from first semester. Her question is, I would like to know a little bit more about empathy and how it is different from sympathy. Okay, yes, the thing is a lot of time we sympathize with other people. For example, let's say a person is going through a difficult time, okay? So let's say a person is suffering from COVID right now, okay? So sometimes we tend to sympathize with them. We will say that we saw if you're going through the situation, but at the back of our mind, we feel that we are glad that we are not the one who is suffering from COVID-19, okay? But to empathize with somebody is when the person is suffering from COVID-19 and he must have been going through a lot of things. Maybe emotionally or mentally, a person will be going through a lot of things. So to empathize with them, you really feel the same way, the same sadness or the same thing that the person is going through, which means you are walking in the shoe of that person and you really, really understand what that person is going through. That is empathy. So is it clear? Yeah, yeah, you have, yes, I've been there. It's clear, isn't it? Yeah, me says clearly explain the difference between empathy and sympathy. Yes, is there any more questions? You can share your own personal thing, which is affecting you or maybe others if you are going any negative emotions. Can you please take the time and ask? Yes, students, please take this time. We still have more time. Ali, maybe it will be better if they do the activity also because that activity also it's very helpful if they are not so interactive. Okay, yeah, we can do that. We still have time. Yes, look into themselves. It will help them to look into themselves. Yes. So it is more practical and it is very reflective. So I think that will be more helpful. Okay, yeah, you can go ahead with that. Students, please don't leave the session, okay? Don't worry. It will be helpful. Will it be okay? Can you show the slide? Yeah, yeah. Okay. Okay. So, I mean, you may not, can you show the slide about the case study? Okay, all right. Okay, just a minute. Okay. All right, I hope it's visible now. Yeah, yeah. Okay. Okay, so I hope that this is visible to all of you. Okay, so what do you have to do in this case study is that this is a study based on emotional intelligence. So if you have to look at the story out here, okay, you have to read through the story and in the end you have to analyze how each individual have behaved and if they possesses high emotional intelligence then how would the situation be different? Okay, so that's what you're supposed to do. So take your time. Maybe I'll give you around three minutes to read through the story. And then after that maybe I would want one or two people to share how would things be different? Okay, so I want one or two people to share your ideas on this. So are you reading out? No, I'm allowing the students to read it by themselves. Students, I hope it's clear enough, size is big enough for you to read. That's fine. Okay, I'll give you one more minute. Okay, Ali, were you able to complete the, were you able to complete reading the story? Yes, yes. Okay, so which means even the students would have been completed by now. So, yes, so I want you to pick up maybe one or two students like were a little bit interactive to share some of the ideas that they have regarding this case study. Okay, good. Because remember when you're sharing it, there is no right or wrong answer, okay? So this is the situation and you're just supposed to look at the situation and then if it were you, if it were you, how are you going to change the situation differently? Okay? Okay, so I hope that students you have all read the case study. You can, you can read the presentation. Give me a break if you can present it. So, yeah, I would like to request any one of you to please share what you have learned from this case study. Yeah, Shankoye, Shankoye, Shankoye, have you read this? Yes, Miss. Yes, Miss. Can you please share your view and then next Centrum Law, please share your view, okay? And then I would like to request a Bill in Law or C.I.P. in Law to please share your view and also Yakshi Kaba, okay? So share your view, okay? And also others are most welcome. And Abinio also, yeah. Hello everyone, am I audible? Yes, you're audible. According to me, if the high, if the boss is high emotional intelligence, first of all, Ratha, who was a brilliant student. Okay. Positioning high IQ, but she posted for because of our father's post and so on things and without knowing the reality. So such things like posting of our father's name and so on things and she wouldn't have done that with high emotional intelligence and on second portions, Ramya, right? So even she, like if she had posted high level of EQ, greater in place of being enemies or something bad or able to Ramya or Ratha, she could have advised her or like give her empathy or shown some kinds of sympathy and give motivations and so on things first. I think if the bosses such high level of emotional intelligence, they could have supported each other in place of doing evil to each other. That's all, thank you. Okay, okay, thank you. The next person would like to share. Okay, good afternoon everyone. Good afternoon. Am I audible? Yes, you're audible. Okay, good. So the first thing I noticed here in this case study is that humbleness, they were all leaking in humbleness. That's the first thing that I noticed, okay. So first of all, Ratha's father, Ratha was very proud of her father but her father itself used to narrate his own story saying about his honesty and degrading. That means the father was also proud of himself. And he was talking about himself, the greatness that he did, the goodness that, about his own goodness. But if his father was also humble and would have taught Ratha in that way, like even if, say, I don't know. Okay, okay, continue. If he would have told, even though he was a great person, he became a great person. If his father, her father would have taught Ratha about being humble, I think Ratha would have done that even in the college. She wouldn't have post much about, so his father was well-known by all the colleagues in the colleges. I think Ratha wouldn't have post a lot about his father as well. And Ratha, yeah. Then coming to her friend, Ramya, if he had had to process a high emotional intelligence, she could have, you know, corrected Ratha of what she was of her behavior instead of being jealous and trying to put her there or trying to hurt her. If she hadn't liked the attitude or the behavior of Ratha and if she could have corrected her in a better way instead of trying to hurt or harm her. Okay. Okay, so thank you for sharing. Let's go to the next person who would like to share. Yes, anyone from Sixth Semester? Yeah, Villano, Sikrano, Villano and Sikrano. Or Piek Sikaba. Anyone like Anam Di? Friend to me? Yeah. Or Kuplen? That's you, Abilio? Friend to me. Okay. Yeah, Abilio was here. Abilio's view is what we see here in this case studies, there's actually four characters. That is Ratha, her father, her friend Ramya and also one of his close friend. So my point of view, like agreeing with Shacoi and Jeng Jun Law, it's true that Ratha, I think she had a sense of, I mean, her self-awareness emotion was more stronger than, I mean, her social awareness emotion was more stronger than her self-awareness. Likewise, even her father as well. So we, like the sense of brightness, because one is more conscious about your social environment rather than being low key, like the kind of self-awareness one would like to grow. So that is a negative point. I mean, like that social thinking, it was not good according to what I've studied and also her friend, like, honestly, I prefer someone who, when there is a competitor in anything, because that really helps someone to be more idle thinking and someone to be more ambitious. So I appreciate the way her friend Ramya was against Ratha. However, not using her vocab properly, like, how do I express it? Like, not maintaining that social competition among others and by using negative words, that was, that is not a good emotional intelligence, a balance of emotional intelligence in IQ as well. And actions speak louder than words. So at the end, I would like to support her friend who slept Ramya, where at the end, after having faced that embarrassment by Ratha, it was actually better if someone took an action like how we consider courts and polices to control us when we are out of our, when we are out of our control. So yeah, that's what I, that's my understanding from this case study. Thank you. Okay, thank you for sharing. Okay, so everyone has a different way of looking at things, okay? So it's very interesting to see how the mind works and how you interpret the situation in your understanding, okay? So do we still have anybody who would like to speak about your interpretation of the situation here? Would anyone else like to share? Okay, so if anybody doesn't have anything to share with this case study, then this case study is supposed to be reflective, okay? So it doesn't have the right or the wrong answer. It is dependent on how you see the scenario and how would you react according to the situation based on your emotional intelligence that you possess, okay? So we will end the case study out here. And if you still have questions, then we will go ahead with the questions. If not, then I will give the time to Lily to go ahead with whatever things that we need to do. Okay, thank you. Taking me for this very engaging session. I'm sure all the students have learned something from this and they will implement this in their life. So on behalf of the Texas College, on behalf of the Department of Economics and Texas College, thank you so much for taking out your time in this very busy times. You have taken up your time to speak to us on this very important topic. So we believe that knowledge that we have shared with our students will help them to improve and develop emotional intelligence and they will be able to regulate their thoughts and lead a very positive life and their overall well-being will be improved. You know, almost everything we do into this world is dependent on our ability to manage our emotions. So I believe that through this case study and through your insightful message to the students, they will be able to know this and they will be able to know themselves better. So we often see that some people that are very successful, they have a high IQ and they become very successful. At the end of the day, they are very stressed, they end up into some addictive habits, they are very stressed, they are angry, they are not able to manage people. But there are some people who are, they live a very humble life, even though they don't have all the richness and all the world will work with pleasures, but they are living a very good and happy life. So I believe that it is how we regulate our thoughts because our thoughts lead our life. So we cannot control the external factors, like you say, but we can control the internal factors. And if we are aware of our self, we will be able to understand others and we'll be able to regulate our emotions. So at times, like we are emotional beings, our emotions take control of us. So when our emotions take control of us, it brings, we are not able to think awkwardly and we are overtaken by emotions and we don't believe, and there are times when we do things which is, which we become very upset and we think, why we have done this? But I believe that through this session, we will all take something positive in us and from now onwards, we'll be able to regulate our emotions well. And there's, it's always, we can always improve our emotional intelligence to lead a very good life. So with that note, I would like to thank all the participants and the guest speaker and my department colleagues, Sarah Leverbete and Hugh Younger for these questions. Or if you want to ask more questions, you can always contact me so that I can help you to commit to my friend. Okay, so there's one more question. It seems to be more engaging. So we have one more question. Can we, can we know ourselves if we're emotionally intelligent or not? This is, yeah. Okay, so a lot of tests are available online. Okay, so you can do a lot of tests because these tests are meant for you to check yourself whether you're emotionally intelligent or not. Okay, there are a few things like I have spoken to you if you're self-aware, if you're able to perceive emotions, if you're able to regulate your emotions in a healthy way, it is a sign. You will be knowing yourself. So it is a sign that you are emotionally intelligent. But if you still want a proof, then you can go ahead and do the test as well. Okay, are we clear? Yes, yeah, we are. I hope, yeah, Mrs. Maek everyone here. And yeah, if you have more questions, you can ask. We still have one minute, two minutes. Okay, so if there is none, like everybody, especially you know, youngsters, teenagers, you will all, you will not be able to understand emotions properly. You'll be facing a lot of stress, tension, you'll be confused, and it's full of time. And although there's now we're facing uncertainty, we are facing pandemic. And we are all affected by this pandemic in one way or another. And then we have to shift from offline to online mode. And then we're facing with a lot of uncertainty that people around are paying, facing with a financial problem, relationship problem. So this emotional intelligence is very important. So I believe that, you know, my students have learned something from this session. And in future also, if you want to ask any questions with regard to this topic, you can please feel free to contact me so they can connect you to Ms. so that she can help you in personal level as well. So thank you, Ms. once again, for engaging and very insightful session. I myself have learned a lot from this session and then being a teacher, even though, you know, being a teacher and being more old and still now I'm facing difficult to regret my emotions. We are still trying improving every way to regulate my emotions for my well-being. So thank you everyone, all the participants. In future also we will be like to have this kind of session. Yes, yeah, we have a guest here and she's a former teacher. That's a college model of ACS. She wants to ask one questions. I guess I can take the time. And we can still give time, but yeah. Yes, you can please go ahead. Yeah, Ms. thank you so much. And I thought of not revealing my identity, but you have just, you know, my name. So yeah, that is fine. But yeah, I've also been attending the session. And yeah, thank you so much, Ms. too, for sharing, you know, about emotional intelligence in a very clear, you know, in a very clear and simple manner. You know, I've learned so much from your presentation and you know, the question that I would like to ask is that, you know, nowadays see, because of this current situation that we have been facing, most of us, we go through a lot of emotional struggles and all like, you know, for example, we go through many of us, you know, we are also struggling with anger, you know, fear and anxiety or insecurity like that. No, so many problems, kind of problems. So what I would like to ask you is that, what would be the best way? You know, what would be the best way or the right way to deal with such kind of problem if we're going through such kind of problem? Would it be advisable to seek, you know, professional, those professional counselors, if we're going through such kind of problem, is it, you know, advisable to seek professional help or who would be the right person in this case if we're going through any kind of, you know, emotional problems like that? Who would be the right person to approach, you know, if we're facing such kind of problem? So I would like to ask the speaker to please share your views on this one, yeah, thank you. Okay, yes, during this uncertain times, it's not just during uncertain times, but when talk about anxiety, depression, it has more to do with the mental issues. It's not just about feeling sad, okay? So it is always nice to have somebody who understands you. So if we're supposed to go through something, then it's always nice to have somebody to share, somebody who understands you. But if we're talking about depression and the anxiety and a little bit more on the mental issues side, then it is always, the best advice would be, it's always good to seek the professional help, okay? Because at times, just being a friend, they're good enough to listen to us, okay? But with the help of the professionals, you'll be able to learn how to navigate or you'll be able to learn how to come into decisions what would be the best thing for you to do at the moment. Okay, so yes, if you have anybody whom you can talk to, talk to them, do not always keep, but not bottle up the feelings you have. It's always nice to talk to somebody and then once you share that with somebody, you will feel that all of your problems are gone, okay? And yes, I think would be if you think this is very serious that if you have been going through this for more than maybe a month, then it is very important for you to seek professional help as well. Okay, so yeah, that's the answer that I have. I hope we can get up with whatever they need. Thank you so much, Miss, for answering their callways. Again, like, no, we still have one question. Okay, so should we take that question? Oh, yes, yes. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, this is for everyone who wants to take the question. Please feel free to ask. We have all the time. Yes, Shanquan, let's go ahead and ask the question. Hello, Miss. Okay, your presentation is very helpful to me and like I have one question to ask and that is in this present scenario, there are lots of people who are stubborn and like I have a lot of friends of mine who are like willing to take their own decisions and not listening to others who are giving them the right advice and all. Giving a sign of low EQ and something like that. So how do we suggest some ways to correct them in their own way, like something acceptable to them? How do we correct them, those kinds of subburn or some kinds of people who are, who wishes to take their own decisions? Okay, so wouldn't we talk about human beings, okay? Like, complex, sometimes it is very difficult to give the appropriate answers to any type of questions, okay? But what I would suggest is that your friend, okay, lack emotional intelligence, but the beginning of it, you can always start with telling him the good things about him, okay? So that is the beginning of self-awareness. So maybe in his whole life, maybe that person did not get any positive feedback, okay? Or constructive feedback in his life. So maybe he's not able to listen from the other side or from the other's perspective, okay? So what you can do is you can always tell the person start from his good behavior or maybe start from his positive strength, okay? So once he's aware of himself, then slowly, slowly you can start working on the other areas as well. The reason being that person are who they really are because they really, really lack self-awareness, okay? So to be self-aware is the answer for everything that we are going through. If we're really self-aware, then a person will be very reflective, a person will be able to understand the situation even from the other's perspective as well. If you do not know the person, if you do not know yourself, then it is very difficult to know the other person and understand the other person. So what you can do is help him to be self-aware, okay? So maybe you can start from giving him the positive feedback about himself. So that's what I would like to suggest. This is not a definite answer, but that's what I would do to my friend. Is that okay? Please, one more question. Okay. How can we let a person know that we are not interested in them without actually telling them? See, okay. It is not, if the person is not emotionally intelligent, maybe the person will choose to ignore even if the person is emotionally intelligent, if he really likes you, he can do anything, okay? So the best option for you is maybe if you really don't like the person and if you are getting that vibes that you don't like it, you are supposed to use your social skills. The number one important thing is communicate. So you're supposed to communicate effectively to the person, which means that you're not going to blame the person. Why are you behaving like this with me? But you're supposed to be assertive. In what way, you tell the other person that whatever you are feeling and whatever he's doing is making you feel uncomfortable, okay? So you're supposed to be assertive, telling the person what you really feel, and at the same time, you're not hurting the other person. So you're supposed to find a way how to communicate this with your friend, okay? Is that okay? Yes, thank you so much. All right. Yeah, and I also believe that it's not wrong to like someone, isn't it? Yeah. And then we should not force other person to like us, like us. But when they like us, and then we should not do respect their, we should respect their feelings also. And if we don't like them, so we should tell them in a very good way, we should give a positive message, like that not considering his feelings and communicating in a very proper way so that it will radiate positive energy, not that both of you will become enemy, okay? So as you've stated, you want to maintain a friend, so you have to honestly communicate your feelings, you know, that I don't want to turn this to another level. So I hope that if the person is emotionally intelligence and care for others, you will also respect the decision that you are making. Yeah, yeah, this is just the additions. All right, so yeah, is there any other questions? Yeah, so I'm sure like every one of us will be facing different problems and we'll not be able to express this in this platform, but if you feel like, you know, you have a, you're going a lot of stress, tension, and you're running a portion to even share with your family members or with anyone, but you can always share with your elders or you can always contact Ms. Tio, okay? So that she can guide you properly to understand the emotion and take a better decision, all right? So if there is no other question, like you know, this session was very engaging and I'm sure that all of you have learned from this session and we will all try to take a positive from this session and live a very good and positive life and we will be able to manage our emotions and also we will be able to have a good interpersonal relationship with our friends and community, okay? So stay happy and stay positive. With that note, let's wind up our session. So once again, thank you so much, Nisq for your time. Okay, thank you. Okay, so everybody have a pleasant evening, okay? Okay, thank you, bye.
