At the dinner, the guests toasted and said, "If you don't drink, you look down on me", and the sentence "No, you really can't drink", which is enough to expose low emotional intelligence. How to respond with high emotional intelligence?
In Chinese social culture, toasting at the wine table is a common etiquette. However, many people feel embarrassed and helpless when guests force us to drink with words like "if you don't drink, you look down on me".
At this point, a simple "no, I really can't drink it" expresses our attitude, but it may be seen as a response to low emotional intelligence.
So, how should people with high emotional intelligence respond?
First of all, we need to understand a truth: toasting is etiquette, but refusing to drink is not disrespectful.
So, when a guest forces us to drink with words like "if you don't drink, you look down on me", we can respond with a smile:
You are so gracious and I really appreciate your kindness. But today I really can't drink anymore, I hope you understand. ”
Such a response expresses our attitude while avoiding embarrassment and conflict.
Secondly, there are also some techniques that can be used to make the response more appropriate and polite.
For example, we can say:
I really appreciate your care and enthusiasm. But today I really can't drink anymore, I hope you understand. If you have anything else that you need my help with, I'll do my best. ”
This response not only shows our attitude, but also shows our willingness to help our guests.
Finally, we can also show our high emotional intelligence through some details.
People with high emotional intelligence will try to avoid direct rejection or blunt language to express their position. They usually respond to a guest's toast in a more tactful, appropriate way.
For example, someone with high emotional intelligence might say, "Thank you so much for your kindness, but I've drunk a little too much and can't drink anymore." I hope you understand. Such words not only convey the meaning of not drinking, but also avoid directly offending the guests.
People with high emotional intelligence also pay attention to their tone and expressions. They usually respond to a toast from a guest with a gentle tone and a smiling expression.
This will not only make guests feel sincere and respectful, but also avoid unnecessary embarrassment and conflict caused by a blunt tone.
For example, we can offer to pour tea or drinks for guests, or recommend other food and beverages for guests.
This will not only make the guests feel our care and enthusiasm, but also make the whole meal more harmonious and enjoyable.
People with high emotional intelligence should be polite and respectful when toasting to guests, while also expressing their attitude and willingness. With some skill and detail, the whole meal can be more enjoyable and harmonious.
No, you really can't drink it" while plainly expressing our attitude, it may be seen as a response to low emotional intelligence. People with high emotional intelligence will respond to the guest's toast in a more appropriate and polite way.
They know how to express their attitudes and wishes with respect and politeness.
Such a response not only makes the whole meal more harmonious and pleasant, but also shows his high emotional intelligence and cultivation.
