Reasoning or abstract thinking
This component of executive intelligence is perhaps what makes you human. Abstract reasoning is what allows you to work on your emotions, feelings, doubts, fears, and other psychological aspects. You can think in abstract terms about “things” that don’t exist in the physical world but in the mental or emotional one. You can also think about what you think (metacognition). Abstract reasoning is what helps you feel that your existence is worth it. Without the capacity for abstract reasoning, you would have an excessively pragmatic and meaningless life.

Reminder: people don’t care that much about what you say or do.
Because the truth is that people don’t have that much time, attention or energy to think or talk about what you do.
They have their hands and minds full with their kids, jobs, pets, hobbies and their own fears and worries (like for example what people may think of them).
