Below are 5 types of behaviors that demonstrate that the person is emotionally intoxicated.
1- Always be on the defensive
A person under the influence of emotional intoxication is in “self-protection mode” and interprets other people’s actions and words as aggression.
Distort the words and draw your conclusions according to your emotional state. She feels very vulnerable and her insecurities control her life. Her self-esteem is low and she becomes defensive in the face of any event.
Your emotions completely block you and limit your ability to understand and think clearly. This causes. often react aggressively to protect yourself from emotional damage, which certainly exists only in your imagination.
2- Being overly critical

4- Condemn, insult or despise others
Emotionally intoxicated people can become aggressive and dangerous because they are always on the defensive and fight tooth and nail for a cause they believe in.
Because of emotional blockage, they are not able to sensibly assess the people around them.
In addition, they find it difficult to empathize with others, as they are full of negative emotions. They can blame and condemn themselves, projecting their fears and frustrations onto others as a form of escape and release.

The life of a person intoxicated by their emotions is very difficult; it’s even harder to move forward and not boycott your progress towards your goals.
