9 things people with low EQ often do that make them feel lost and make their path to promotion more difficult

GĐXH - People with low EQ often behave in a way that makes others feel confused and want to avoid them.

In the complex world of social relationships, having a high EQ (emotional intelligence quotient) is an undeniable advantage.

Meanwhile, people with low EQ are often not tactful in their behavior and as a result, they often unintentionally create awkward situations, causing discomfort to those around them.

Their lack of sensitivity in recognizing and regulating their own emotions as well as those of others makes them sometimes feel out of place, even being judged as lacking in sophistication and unable to integrate.

Low EQ manifests itself in many ways:

1. Too blunt, not thinking about other people's feelings

Have you ever heard this: "I said something harsh, don't take it personally", "I said it harshly, but I didn't mean it badly".

In life, there are many people who think that speaking frankly is an advantage, saying whatever is on their mind, completely ignoring the feelings of others and as a result hurting others without knowing it.

What they call "straightforward" is simply not wanting to bother thinking about other people's feelings.

People who consider themselves straightforward like that often do not care about other people's thoughts and feelings.

In daily life, there are many good relationships that are broken just because of a few words.

If you keep empathy in yourself and think more about other people's feelings, your words will naturally become warmer and more pleasant.

Learn to speak a little slower, think carefully before speaking, the other person will also listen to you more carefully and the relationship will become better.

2. Disrespecting others

It is not uncommon for some people to show disdain in public.

For example, some customers come to the bank to do business and feel that there are too few teller machines open.

So they spoke up to question and demand that the leadership explain why such a large bank only opens one transaction counter at noon.

When told by the front desk manager that the staff needed to take turns to eat lunch, the customer said: So when will my work be done?

When faced with similar situations like this, many people must wonder, would the customer say the same thing if his child were working here?

Can't you give people the respect they deserve?

3. Behaving in a tactless manner

For the most part, people with low EQ don't know the right thing to say. They also don't understand the right and wrong times to say something.

For example, they might say something insensitive at a funeral or make a joke right after a tragic event. If you react, they will act as if you are being too sensitive.

Because they have difficulty understanding other people's emotions, it is no surprise that they are unable to interpret and react appropriately in each situation.

4. Too petty

Many people often have narrow-minded thoughts, always have a jealous mentality, and feel resentful towards others.

When they hear that someone is better than them, they not only do not congratulate them, but also mock others.

Psychologist Zeng Qifeng once said: "Not being able to see the good in others is also a kind of illness and also a bad behavior."

Having this mentality will only push the people around you further away from you. In relationships, we need to learn to open our hearts and improve our vision.

When you truly appreciate and bless others, you will be loved by more people.

Only then can we have more relationships and achieve long-term benefits.

5. Remembering clearly the kindness you show others, but ignoring what others have done for you

People with high emotional intelligence can naturally gain respect and appreciation from others, because they can help others when they need help and always feel grateful when they receive help.

People with low EQ are the opposite, they are never willing to help others and often never remember the good things others have given them.

6. Blame others for their problems

People with low EQ rarely realize how their emotions can lead to serious problems. They never take responsibility for their actions.

When something goes wrong, their first reaction is to find someone or something else to blame. For example, if they read the messages on your phone, it's your fault for leaving the phone unlocked.

7. Fear of rejection

Japanese writer Osamu Dazai once said: "My misfortune lies in my inability to refuse. I am always afraid that once I refuse someone, it will leave a rift in our hearts that will never heal."

Human nature is good and we all do not like to refuse requests or favors from others.

But if you agree to every request immediately, it will often put you in a dilemma.

Life is not easy, sometimes you spend your precious time, sometimes there will be people taking advantage of your kindness.

A person who does not dare to refuse, is easily persuaded by requests, in the end not only hurts himself but can also cause others to not respect your help.

Understand that giving a little is affection, but giving too much becomes debt and responsibility.

If you always accept every request and favor, many people will not hesitate to take advantage of you.

Only when you know how to say no in situations where you need to say no, will your kindness be valuable.

Your kindness needs to be a little more nuanced. In many cases, you need to be willing to say yes and help, but there are also cases where you should say "no".

8. Poor coping skills

The inability to cope with emotionally stressful situations is also a sign of low EQ.

They will often avoid difficult situations so as not to face the emotional consequences.

Hiding one's true emotions is also very common in people with low EQ.

9. Have emotional outbursts

People with low EQ often have difficulty understanding and controlling their emotions.

They react violently without knowing what they are really feeling or why they are so upset.

A person lacking EQ also has sudden, exaggerated, and uncontrollable emotional outbursts.

The smallest things can send them into a tirade that can last for minutes, even hours.
