8 sentences of people with low EQ that sound very 'unpleasant' to the ear

GĐXH - Thoughtless words not only hurt others but also create barriers that make it difficult for people with low EQ to build healthy and deep relationships.

In the complex world of social relationships, EQ (or emotional quotient), plays an important role in building and maintaining connections between people.

A high EQ not only helps us understand and empathize with the emotions of others, but also allows us to respond sensitively and appropriately to different social situations.

On the contrary, people with low EQ often have difficulty recognizing and managing their own emotions, as well as being unable to clearly understand the emotions of others, leading to thoughtless reactions and sometimes hurting the other person.

One of the most obvious signs of low EQ is a lack of empathy. Illustration photo

1. "I don't care how you feel"

One of the most obvious signs of low EQ is a lack of empathy.

When someone expresses their emotions, whether it's joy or sadness, ignoring them or even outright saying "I don't care" shows your inability to understand other people's emotions.

In life, whether you agree or disagree with someone's feelings, it is necessary to respect and show minimal concern.

Instead of shutting down the other person's feelings, try saying, "I understand how you feel, can we work together to find a solution?" or simply, "I'm sorry to hear that."

A little attention can make a big difference in human relationships.

2. "You are irrational"

Unlike people who are good at accepting other people's emotions, people with low EQ never have sympathetic thoughts.

They stereotype the other person as a weird person, refuse to share, and cause many relationships to stagnate.

According to psychologists, use the phrase "I don't understand why you feel that way, can you tell me more?" to make yourself appear more sensitive in the eyes of others.

3. "I find this impossible"

People with high emotional intelligence (EQ) always show respect and trust in others through the use of language.

In contrast, people with low emotional intelligence often use phrases that clearly show a lack of trust, skepticism, or a desire to control the other person.

Sentences like: "It's hard to believe what you're doing"; "I find your ideas unsettling" or "I don't really trust the way you're thinking"; "This is impossible" are typical examples.

Expert De Kock believes that phrases that show trust in the other person such as: "I appreciate you" or "I care about the final result you will achieve" not only help build psychological safety but also demonstrate the speaker's high emotional intelligence.

However, these words are only truly valuable if they come from sincerity, respect and are demonstrated by actions.

“Otherwise, they could do more harm than good,” says De Kock.

4. "I know, no need to say more"

Ms. De Kock said that sentences like "I don't care, don't tell" or "I already know" show a lack of concern for other people's feelings, as well as a low EQ from the speaker. This language clearly shows indifference and indifference to the other person.

People with high EQ often use phrases like "Tell me more about..." or "Can you help me better understand..." to clearly demonstrate an effort to understand more about the other person's feelings and perspectives.

However, this concern must also go hand in hand with practical action.

"If you use open-ended questions but are not attentive, for example looking at your phone while talking, no matter how positive your words are, you are still considered to have low emotional intelligence," the expert recommends.

5. "You're so stupid"

This is one of the most offensive statements, showing a lack of restraint and disrespect for the other person.

A person with low EQ often cannot control his emotions and easily criticizes and attacks someone when he is not satisfied with someone.

On the contrary, people with high EQ understand that everyone makes mistakes and instead of criticizing, they will choose to help the other person realize the problem in a tactful way.

If you feel someone is taking an incorrect view or action, try expressing it by saying, "Are you sure about this? I think we should look into it further," or "I think there's another approach that might be more helpful."

This way, you can avoid hurting others while maintaining professionalism in communication.

6. "You're wrong"

In every conversation, people with high EQ do not get stuck in negative emotions but often focus on the other person's thoughts.

If they and their partner disagree, these people often say, "I want to hear your point of view even if we don't think the same way.

Please share so we can better understand the problem," instead of immediately denying it.

7. "I'm sorry, okay?"

Using phrases like "I'm sorry, but I don't feel I was wrong" or "If you need me, I'll apologize at most" can significantly reduce trust and damage the relationship.

Expert De Kock believes that honestly admitting mistakes not only reflects awareness but also shows humility.

Admitting mistakes demonstrates that you understand the impact of your behavior on others.

This creates a foundation for the other party to also be able to admit mistakes more easily and rebuild trust, while increasing trust from the partner.

8. "I don't have time to listen"

Statements like “I don’t have time to worry about this” or “Get to the point” also have the same meaning when not trying to understand the situation or context of the low EQ person.

This means you are not really listening or paying attention to the other person's opinion.

People with low EQ also tend to interrupt or dismiss other people's opinions quickly.
