People with very low emotional intelligence will refuse to talk about their feelings because they aren&#39;t good at it. They may use vague language to describe how they feel, such as &quot;I&#39;m a little stressed&quot; or &quot;I&#39;m kind of overwhelmed.&quot;
People with high emotional intelligence aren&#39;t afraid to describe their feelings. &quot;I feel sad,&quot; &quot;I&#39;m angry,&quot; or &quot;I&#39;m disappointed.&quot;
