People love emotionally intelligent people until it stops benefitting them.
They love how you listen, how you understand, how you make things feel safe.
But the second that same emotional intelligence asks for honesty, effort, or accountability, it suddenly becomes “too much.”
They don’t mind your depth as long as it doesn’t require them to go deeper too.
They want your calm, not your boundaries.
Your empathy, not your truth.
Your understanding, not your mirror.
Emotional intelligence sounds nice until it exposes the parts of someone they’ve spent their whole life avoiding.
