The Role of Psychosocial Relations in Our Lives

"Being humans, we do not exist in isolation from the outward world that encompasses other humans, flora, and fauna, for which we need social interactions with others in our surroundings. In fact, we are called "social animals" for whom social interactions are of utmost importance for maintaining our mental fitness and staying psychologically fit, present, stable, and valued."

"In this respect, the concept of "emotional intelligence" is of great importance, since it is through our EQ skills that we perceive, process, analyze, and interpret our very own emotions, as well as the emotions of others in our surroundings. So, we can state that we are not only "social animals" but also "emotional" ones, who constantly have the urge to be accepted by others and build harmonious relations with our near and dear ones."

Humans do not exist in isolation and require social interactions with other humans, flora, and fauna to maintain mental fitness and psychological stability. People constantly need to feel seen, heard, cherished, respected, and valued. Strong interpersonal relations that provide safety, acknowledgement, and esteem boost confidence and well-being. Emotional intelligence enables perception, processing, analysis, and interpretation of personal and others' emotions, supporting self-awareness, self-management, and social awareness. Psychosocial relations denote the dynamic reciprocal interaction between internal psychological processes and the external social environment. Developing EQ skills and social awareness fosters successful, peaceful, and harmonious interpersonal relations.
