They use this ability to attract people around them and bring people closer together.

As the author of the book "Emotional Intelligence Game Changers: 101 Ways to Win at Life & Work", Harvey Deutschendorf has spent more than 20 years researching the habits of people with high EQ. Through the process of communicating and talking with them, he realized the things that people with high emotional intelligence never do when talking to others:

1. Don't impose your views

In a debate, when the other person feels pressured by your views, they will automatically build up barriers. This is the reason why all your attempts at persuasion become futile.

People with high EQ always create opportunities for the other person to express their views and listen to their opinions. Then, they will find a way to balance and come up with a final solution that harmonizes the interests of both parties.

2. Don't say: "It's not my responsibility"

People with high EQ will not ignore a problem they can solve just because it is outside their assigned duties.

People with high emotional intelligence are always willing to share their time and knowledge. They always see themselves as an important part of the team and often look for ways to contribute to the organization.

3. Don't just focus on yourself

People with high EQs will not talk about themselves. Everyone appreciates being recognized for something they do well and are proud of.

Doing this with sincerity will ensure that you are remembered in a positive light. It will also make people appreciate you.

4. Don't react rashly

Instead of reacting hastily, people with high EQs will think things through. They are calm and composed in situations where people with low EQs would panic and fear.

People with high EQ always learn to restrain themselves, not making decisions when angry, hurt or afraid.

Instead, they will wait until they are mentally stable, then make the right decision after considering the situation.

5. Don't lose focus while talking

When talking, people with high EQ do not constantly check their watches or open their phones to read messages, because they understand that this is impolite and disrespectful to the other person.

In every conversation, people with high emotional intelligence are always 100% focused, communicating with both gestures and eyes.

6. Don't waste time with anyone

People with high EQ will choose people who have positive thinking, similar goals and aspirations to talk to. Thanks to that, they receive help and emotional support to achieve the desired results.

On the contrary, they will avoid contact with individuals who bring negativity, only draining their energy.

7. Don't forget the small details

When you first meet someone, repeat their name and use it throughout the conversation.

Remember important things, such as the names of your partner, children, pets, or favorite vacation spots.

By doing so and mentioning them at appropriate times the next time you meet, you will stand out.

As the relationship deepens, consider keeping track of important dates (e.g. birthdays or anniversaries), then sending cards or calling on those days.

8. Don't be unreasonably spiteful

When faced with difficulties, most people with low EQ cannot stay calm to identify the problem and find a solution.

Instead, they easily fall into negative reactions. Meanwhile, people with high EQ never let themselves be overwhelmed by those emotions.

People with low EQ live like the world owes them, but people with high EQ don't.

They know how to look back at themselves to determine the reasons for their mistakes, and from there learn their own lessons.

9. Don't tell offensive jokes

People with high EQ know how to choose the content they talk about with others.

They will not tell tasteless and offensive jokes, because they understand that this is the fastest way to ruin the conversation, as well as being judged by the other person as lacking awareness and sensitivity.

10. They are not the ones who tell everything.

In conversations, people with high EQ tend to listen more.

They know how to ask questions that give the other person a chance to express themselves. By doing so, they also understand how the other person acts and feels.
