Remember...

One sentence may not be a problem, but if these words are repeated to make you doubt your worth or dare not express your feelings, it may be a sign that the relationship is affecting your health.

These sentences do not always mean that the person speaking is hurting the mind, because the meaning of the speech depends on the intent, context and means of communication that occurs.
