Is life filled with far too many instances of throwing things... screaming... making people cry... and other telltale signs of an emotional hijacking?
An emotional hijacking demonstrates low emotional intelligence (EQ). As soon as someone shows that level of instability, people will question whether or not they're trustworthy and capable of keeping it together when it counts.
Exploding at anyone, regardless of how much they might “deserve it,” turns a huge amount of negative attention toward whomever is acting out that way. They'll be labeled as unstable, unapproachable, and intimidating.
Controlling our emotions keeps us in the driver’s seat. When we're able to control our emotions around someone who wrongs us, they end up looking foolish instead of us.
