TJ Walker warns that negative messages can overshadow positive remarks because humans are predisposed to give greater weight to negative information. He cautions communicators to avoid profoundly negative framing since such messages are more memorable and can undermine other points.

But you have to be extraordinarily careful because there's always a danger that your negative message completely overwhelms every positive thing out of your mouth. There's something about human beings, the way we are programmed to place greater importance on the negative. The risk. It may seem like a little aside, but the problem with that message is it's profoundly negative. It's therefore memorable.
