Gaming and Emotional Intelligence

[Urvashi]

Multiplayer games often require empathy, reading tone, and teamwork. Have you learned social or emotional skills from gaming? Do you think online play actually improves how people interact offline?

I do enjoy gaming, but frankly speaking I haven't learned social and emotional skill through games. However, I must say my focus and concentration has improved due to gaming.

Multiplayer games have definitely helped me read emotions, anticipate reactions, and coordinate with others. They teach patience and cooperation in real time. While online play can’t replace face-to-face interaction, these skills sometimes carry over, improving teamwork and empathy in offline situations too.
