The downside of emotional intelligence for games

I came across the topic by chance and decided to leave a few thoughts. In general, I have always been interested in how people are so deeply immersed in game interactions. Sometimes it seems like a separate social world where every emotional nuance matters. Personally, I only play for relaxation, so I don't bother if someone in the team is nervous or behaves emotionally. But, probably, for those who take the process more seriously, it can become a problem.

Hi. This is a very interesting topic you've touched on. I've also experienced something similar sometimes. For example, when you play in a team, sometimes you are very dependent on the emotional state of others. If someone starts to get angry or upset, it quickly affects everyone. It can even make you want to postpone the game so as not to worsen your condition. By the way, I read a great article about this on the https://unwinnable.com/2024/11/12/the-emotional-intelligence-revolution-in-gaming/ . The article discusses how emotional intelligence affects gaming processes, and in some cases, it can create unnecessary tension. As for your example, I try to take short breaks in such situations. It helps to restore balance and not let other people's emotions take over completely. Perhaps you should try to take a break too, if you notice that your emotions are getting the better of you.
