Are Older People Really Kinder and Wiser? - Wellbeing Wisdom Tiny Bites

Are you emotionally intelligent? If you’re an older female, you have a much better chance of being able to say “yes” to that.

Studies suggest that emotional intelligence increases with age, and in women, the increase is even more pronounced. Research at UC Berkley conclusively showed that people in their late 50s through their 60s showed far more emotional intelligence than those in their 20s and 30s.

As we live life, we develop a heightened awareness of emotions, both our own and those of others. This emotional intelligence enables us to navigate complex social situations, build strong relationships, and offer valuable insights to those going through tough times. With age, we become better at understanding the nuances of emotions, leading to wiser decision-making and a more profound sense of empathy.

If you’re a young adult, you can learn emotional intelligence skills, and the good news is that you’ll gain them naturally as you age. If you’re in your 50s and 60s, like me, flaunt your wrinkles and grey hair – they’re signs of your wisdom and emotional intelligence!
