What is social intuition? How important is attention when it comes to social interactions?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In <em>Focus<\/em>, Daniel Goleman discusses various <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/daniel-goleman-leadership\/\">directions of attention<\/a>. One way we can direct our attention is toward others. According to Goleman, an effective focus on others builds several life skills: empathy, social intuition, and the ability to read <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/body-language-crucial-conversations\/\">body language<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Keep reading to learn how focusing on others can help you develop these skills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Empathy<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Empathy is tuning into others and feeling as they feel, which is a crucial skill in social connection. Goleman points out that, to feel what others are feeling, you must focus on others; you must pay attention to them. He describes three kinds of empathy: emotional empathy, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/cognitive-empathy-vs-emotional-empathy\/\">cognitive empathy<\/a>, and empathic concern.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Emotional empathy <\/strong>is when you personally feel the emotions another person or group of people are feeling. Bottom-up processing helps with this, allowing you to pay attention to subtle information, like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/nonverbal-cues\/\">nonverbal cues<\/a> and tone of voice, that clue us into their emotions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Cognitive empathy <\/strong>is a top-down orientation to what other people are experiencing. It allows you to understand their thoughts, feelings, and state of mind but not to personally feel what they\u2019re going through.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Empathic concern <\/strong>is related to compassion. It is a blend of bottom-up and top-down processes that help us feel <em>and<\/em> evaluate. It allows us to go beyond merely <em>understanding<\/em> what another person is going through and instead moves us to help them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-social-intuition\">Social Intuition<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When we turn our beam of attention on others, we pick up on social cues that help us interact socially with others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Social intuition <\/strong>is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/how-good-are-you\/\">how good you are<\/a> at collecting and making sense of nonverbal information from people and then using that information to modify your behavior. This skill helps you navigate group dynamics and \u201cfit in\u201d to groups like school cohorts or at a new job. Social intuition is a largely bottom-up, instinctual process. People who have chronic problems with social intuition may come off as rude, say inappropriate things, and violate <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/norms-of-society\/\">social norms<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Body Language<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Focusing on others helps us pick up on body language. Like social intuition, this aids in social interactions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/how-to-pay-attention\/\">Paying attention<\/a> to <strong>body language<\/strong> helps us navigate social situations, understand what others are feeling and expressing, and read between the lines of communication. The cognitive process of understanding the unsaid is largely bottom-up\u2014unconscious and automatic. But the skill can be learned and developed with practice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(Shortform note: Skills in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/reading-body-language\/\">reading body language<\/a> and skills in social intuition are related: Mastery of either one will help with mastery of the other, and both are dependent on having strong self-awareness. In <a href=\"https:\/\/shortform.com\/app\/book\/quiet-the-power-of-introverts\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><em>Quiet<\/em><\/a>, Susan Cain calls these skills <em>self-monitoring<\/em>. She explains that people who are good at self-monitoring do two things: <a href=\"https:\/\/shortform.com\/app\/book\/quiet-the-power-of-introverts\/part-4#self-monitoring\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">they notice social cues from others, and they notice how their behavior can change to blend in with what those cues say about the group.<\/a>)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Are there different kinds of empathy?
