When it doesn't go according to plan. 

 When there's any mention of football.

 When there's delicious food on the table.

 When it's all too much. 

 When I notice what has been said about me. 

 When I feel evil but am actually a good person. 

 When I'm fake happy and I know it.

 When he asks for a tea bag.

When I hear voices in my room at night.
 

 When I'm in a room full of books.

 When they can't get my name right. 

When I stalk, copy, steal someone else's life and personality, lie, cheat and am a bad person overall.
 

 When I've lost something I hold dear.

 When I eat licorice candy.

 When I'm given the big news.

 When I make it big.

 When I know better.

 When they tell me that I am nobody.

 When I'm trying to make a good impression during a job interview.

 When they ignore me so hard I start to question my own existence.

 When I'm the equivalent of an emotional roly-poly. 

When they're too stupid to understand me.
 

The Gist

Back in 2010 while being a participant in a Grundtvig workshop on the topic of self-directed learning in Utrecht, the Netherlands, I was asked to do something on the topic of emotional intelligence. I did nothing. However, since emotional intelligence is something many talk about I have come up with a simple project to illustrate the matter. I hope you enjoy it.
