advice : fanbase : SMILING CAN HURT YOUR HEALTH [+] serious ballot by UncleRandy ACTIVE Mon May 19, 08 - Sat Feb 12, 11 A German scientist has proved that people forced to smile and take on-the-job insults suffer more and longer-lasting stress that may harm their health. Dieter Zapf of the Johann Wolfgang Goethe University in Frankfurt studied 4,000 volunteers working in a fake call center. Half were allowed to respond in kind to abuse on the other end of the line while the other half had to suck it up. Zapf found that those able to answer back had a brief increase in heart rate. Those who could not had stress symptoms that lasted much longer. Zapf said... Every time a person is forced to repress his true feelings there are negative consequences. We are all able to rein in our emotions but it becomes difficult to do this over a protracted period. In an interview with the German health-care magazine Apotheken Umschau, Zapf suggested that people who must keep smiling on the job should get regular breaks to let it out. So how 'bout it? ...Do you put on a smile for the Boss? Or do you know someone like this? ...Do tell. You should meet the waitress that works in a Diner by my house. You should always put on your "Happy Face" "smile and you'll feel better" ...That belief is a bunch of horse crap. Go Ahead, ...Make my day. Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me. Stress is the result of not smacking the crap out of a person who deserves it!
