4/ If someone is going to harm you, there's a profoundly high likelihood they are feeling contempt.

5/ Hopefully, your boss or your partner never projects contempt to you. Contempt is one of the most destructive, if not, THEE most destructive of all emotions.

6/ The expression of contempt by one's partner/boss is highly predictive of the end of the relationship/employment (or worse). While this is not the only facial expression indicative of contempt, you should learn to spot subtle manifestations of it.
