Negative comments may actually pose a health risk. Sarcasm, criticism and
put-downs have been proven to increase abnormalities in heart rate. (Of course
this includes our own self-criticism and put-downs of ourselves.) The heart
aberrations were as significant and measurable as those from heavy workouts or
pre-attack myocardial chest pains.
All negative criticism contains hidden agenda
on the part of the critic.
Two excellent books - both by Patricia Evans, an
interpersonal communications specialist - are "The Verbally Abusive
Relationship" and "Controlling People".
