This fellow had higher emotional IQ at age 17 than me at age 27. Great read!


If it you makes feel better, at the age of 34 my therapist handed me a "feelings wheel" as a way to help me name my emotions[1]. Prior to that, my emotional vocabulary essentially consisted of "anger" and "joy". This in turn lead me down a very deep and painful rabbit hole to figure out why I had so much trouble accessing my own emotions, opening up to people, and trusting others.
