I became a lot happier after I learned the cognitive skillset of not being hyper-aware of trivial problems, or finding in them some profound meaning or deep emotional resonance. I don’t think that was emotional intelligence, I think it was bias, rumination, and catastrophizing. Also a lack of perspective. I still feel bad sometimes, but… about things which other people also recognize as serious problems. Which has been a boon for social outcomes too.
