People who have low emotional intelligence often use four expressions

Emotional intelligence refers to the ability to recognize, understand, and manage one's own emotions, as well as the emotions of others.

According to experts, people with lower emotional intelligence often unconsciously use phrases that reveal a lack of empathy, self-reflection, and the ability to communicate constructively.

Such sentences can create tension in relationships and make it difficult to resolve conflicts, even though they may not seem problematic at first glance.

Below are four phrases that are a common indicator of low emotional intelligence.

"This is your problem, not mine"

This phrase often indicates emotional detachment and denial of responsibility for interpersonal dynamics. Experts explain that people who regularly speak in this way often do not recognize the impact of their actions on others or lack the capacity for empathy. Instead of understanding other people's feelings, they withdraw emotionally, making any form of healthy dialogue difficult. A sentence like this can create a sense of isolation in the interlocutor and disrupt the closeness of relationships.

"This is me, I won't change"

While authenticity can be positive, this phrase often hides resistance to personal growth. According to experts, emotionally mature people understand that change and adaptation are part of any healthy relationship. On the other hand, stubbornly insisting on “acceptance without adaptation” can mean that a person is not ready to reflect on their own behavioral patterns — which is essential for emotional intelligence.

“You are very sensitive”

Using this phrase minimizes other people's emotions and is often a sign of unwillingness to accept another's point of view.

Psychologist Dr. Susan David, author of the book “Emotional Agility,” points out that this type of communication minimizes the importance of the other person’s feelings and can erode mutual trust in the long term. People with higher emotional intelligence, instead of ignoring other people’s emotions, try to understand them and explore what lies behind them.

“I don’t want to talk about this” (Repeated avoidance)

It’s okay for a person to sometimes need time before speaking, but if this type of phrase is used as a constant excuse to avoid difficult topics, it can be a sign of emotional immaturity. Experts point out that the ability to have uncomfortable but necessary conversations indicates a high level of emotional resilience. Avoiding conflict in the long run doesn’t solve the problem – it only deepens it.
