People with low emotional intelligence show several signs.Among these signs are failure to understand and express feelings, lack of empathy, regular quarrels and inability to cope with stress.They find it tough to grasp and control their feelings.They often clash with others at home or work and miss social hints and cues.Their emotional word bank is small. Moreover,such individuals will most likely have issues in building relationships and wrongly interpreting social signs.

In addition, technology, especially social media and digital communication, may decrease emotional intelligence. For the younger generation excessive time on screens and reliance on virtual connections often replace direct interaction. This might impede the growth of necessary social skills like recognizing body language and catching emotions. It is also worth mentioning that online interactions tend to be anonymous as well as superficial thus leading to a lack of responsibility and sympathy which is an added disadvantage for emotional intellect.
