I disagree with the entire pop psychology industries existence. It's not personal, it's a moral social issue.
It's psychological junk food that destroys people's psychological health and turns them into self-help junkies. It's the equivalent of people believing that McDonald's is healthy food and they will lose weight and lower their cholesterol by consuming it.
that's like every relationship i've ever had. i'm not sure where people get these relationships where other people share their opinions in lock step with them.
everyone i know has different feelings on various issues.
right, it can't be EQ is a stupid theory with a flawed metric that is essentailly useless... apparently if that's the case they ALL OF PYCHOLOGY IS NONSENSE.
are you serious with this crap? typical lemmy poster, can't let the bone go and becomes a dog and starts making massive generalizations that society will collapse if their one pet peeve issue needs to be their into a hyperbolic one.
it's fine, you can call me lazy, tell me i have low EQ, whatever makes you feel better about yourself man. The fact of the matter is EQ isn't taken seriously by psychologists and it's become yet another therapy-speak term, but hey, i'm clearly a gas-lighting narcissist, right?
liberal/left can't seen to understand why they keep losing... but then makes no legit effort to like have a actionable plan for any of their political goals.
And if you suggest such actions/plan/pragmatic thinking, you're basically voted off the liberal 'happy think only' island.
I've been left-wing I feel like for 25 years, but the entire time I left the politics was moving away from me. As much as the right parodies the left as being elitist and out of touch and delusional... it's like the left now actively embraces that vision of themselves and actively pursues it.
yeah, and it's easy enough to block them with the right front end and have most of your expereince here be less full of insane brainrot.
There are some really cool folks and communities that actually have really cool and positive posts. But it is hard to find with all the slop and ragebait that many folks, and new users, seem to propagate.
miserable folks want everyone else to be as miserable or more miserable than them. they can't abide anyone enjoying anything.
It's so funny, I bought a Switch 2 recently, and the amount of vitriolic HATE i get for mentioning that I love and it's great is insane.
apparently unless I build my own PC from dumpster parts and run a hyper specific distro and only run steam linux games, I'm some sort of traitor and horrible ignorant fool. There can't ever be a legit reason to like just want to play fun games w/o being an insufferable superiority twat about it. and anything less than that is 'boot licking' or me being a nazi lover or something.
Everything on here has to be politicized to an absurd extreme, because no fun and happiness is allowed as long as the State of Israel exists, or something.
and they have no objective measure. you cannot measure a feeling of empathy and compare it across two people. empathy can't be measured like a discus throw or how fast you can run mile.
they are not measurable things, they are contextualized by culture, language, and society. what is empathetic in one society is considered cruelty in another. and further, it will vary a lot depending on relationship, familiarity, and social dynamics.
You may think you are the sole arbiter of these things, and you're welcome to do that in your personal life. but the arrogance it takes you can magically ID people's 'empathy' based on internet posts is just insane ego-projection and and your judgement of how much they say shit you agree with.
are you sure i'm the one shifting the goalposts here?
my argument form the start was EQ is bullshit, a made up arbitrary metric that has no widespread acceptance. and that is true.
And like all bullshit things, people mostly use it to bully and posture each other.
Right, so i google both those and find that neither of them is widely adopted or used. they are basically in infancy and have substantial history of use or acceptance... and a few papers both showing their methodology is highly suspect:
Results showed that this is not the case for most items: The answer indicated by experts as the most correct in several cases was not associated with the highest ability; furthermore, items appeared too easy to challenge individuals high in EI. Overall results suggest that the MSCEIT is best suited to discriminate persons at the low end of the trait. Results are discussed in light of applied and theoretical considerations.
i don't get the engineering superiority complex, but i suppose if a lot of them are contemplating suicide, it does mean sense why they'd have one. when you are massively self-loathing you tend to compensate by feeling superior to others.
where is the universally accepted metric for measuring emotional intelligence? clearly there must be a test or something by which we can judge others and ourselves and evalated this 'skill'.
life is better when you stop trying to achieve things you were never going to achieve.
and focus on things that are rewarding and fulfilling.
