Focusing on emotional intelligence and the emotional state of others is an approach that puts others first.
The best way to open another’s heart, it turns out, is to open your own.
You can talk at somebody, but you can’t converse at them. And you certainly can’t connect at them. Connection requires that we create space for each other both emotionally and conversationally.

By keeping your feelings out of the relationship you are keeping an important part of yourself out of the relationship.
