5 characteristics of partners with high EQ
You can communicate well.
Partners with a high EQ are good at listening, talking, and being there for each other. There are no awkward pauses of silence, even if no one speaks, no one perceives it as disturbing. Your dialogues are sometimes superficial, but often also profound and, above all, equal. If your partner has a high EQ, he/she will pay attention to these important building blocks of communication.
They help you.
If you’re in a bad mood, your counterpart will cheer you up. If you need help with a project for work, he:she will support you. If you want to learn a new hobby, your partner doesn’t stop you, but shows interest and likes it. No matter what it is, partners with a high EQ will help you achieve your plans and goals. At the same time, they also manage, for example through critical but respectful statements, to make you question yourself and find out who you are and what you really want. Exactly how we want it!
They know and respect your boundaries.
If you say “no”, your partner has to accept it – that much is certain anyway. What’s special is when the person you’re talking to is extremely emotional Has intelligence: He:She often knows where your limits are without you saying them. Your principles are clear and this determines what is suitable for you and what is not. If you ever mentioned that you wouldn’t do something, you won’t be asked three more times, but it’s okay. Your decisions and therefore your privacy are respected and valued.
You also take time for yourself.
It’s not just your privacy that is important, of course your own also plays an important role. Your partner shares a lot with you, is always there for you, but there are also moments when he or she needs or wants me-time. Because emotionally intelligent people not only manage to pay attention to others, but also not to forget themselves – their own needs, wishes and contacts outside of the relationship. In these phases for yourself, your counterpart draws energy that makes you happy.
They rejoice with you in your successes.
There is no envy, only honest joy, even if you are perhaps even more successful than your partner or have only achieved your goal through a little bit of luck. It doesn’t matter: It’s not about one person being better – partners with a high EQ wholeheartedly support your success and continue to support you. They also have their own goals, but they don’t have to talk about their success alone, especially if something big just happened for you. True to the motto: Joy shared is joy doubled!
