A word that separates empaths from other people.
Psychologists call the ability to understand and respond to emotions emotional intelligence. Some experts claim that this is more important than the intelligence quotient (IQ). Whether someone is emotionally intelligent or not, we can tell by his choice of words.
Emotional intelligence (EQ) has become much more important in recent years, as it represents an advantage in social and business life, and also defines our relationships. Do you understand and empathize with people? Do you understand your own feelings? Can you deal with your feelings and the feelings of others? All this speaks of a strong emotional intelligence.
Emotionally intelligent people don't talk much about themselves. But when they speak, they don't use one word, just one word that sets them apart from others.
It's about the word "I", more precisely - "I think, I love, I do" - these phrases are avoided by emotionally intelligent people in everyday life and business.
Emotionally intelligent people listen with their whole being and feelings. Experts have found that the so-called empathic listening often misinterprets. For example, when talking about problems, many people respond with advice that comes from their perspective of seeing the problem. This is exactly wrong, as it often causes negative feelings in the interlocutor. In this way, we actually unconsciously tell him that we know better what is good for him. Instead, you should focus more on the interlocutor and less on advice and experience. The focus of the conversation should be on the interlocutor and his problems.
In many difficult situations, the interlocutor does not want advice at all, but wants to know how - probably better - to solve the problem. She just wants to tell someone and confide. He wants someone to listen to him, to feel with him, that someone understands him...
Emotionally intelligent people are more empathetic towards others. Hence the word "I" less common in their vocabulary.
