Does cursing help reduce your anger?
Answer:
i guess cursing does not reduce your anger
Sometimes!
I do know that it makes you sound stupid.
No, but I find myself doing it anyway. :)
It helps me get rid of my anger. I have such a pirate mouth, and when I get really mad I drop f bombs like every other word almost, kind of excessive.
I'd rather curse than react physically like punching or throwing stuff. Not that swearing is a healthy way to relaese anger but it's safer than lashing out violently.
no not really, you know why people cuss ?because they can't think of any other intelligent word to say.
It is like putting fuel to fire.
Cursing extends the life of the "angry mood" because you can not curse in cool mood.
Sometimes.
Fn right!
Good question. It really made me think about why I cuss, and how actually unproductive it is to the situation and my anger levels/blood pressure. To answer your question though:
No, it doesn't help me to be more calm, it makes me MORE angry. Why do I cuss then? Probably because my brain is so p!ssed off, I can't think of a better word...so cussing really is the sign of lack of vocabulary!
Nope since you don't have a peace of mind.
i think it just makes you more angry, but i do it all the time. for example, if traffic is really bad. but i curse all the time anyway, and i really need to stop because i know how stupid i sound. there is just no reason to curse, you don't look smarter or anything. it's pointless, but we do it anyway. i think screaming relieves your anger :)
People that curse, they curse because they have no other way to express how they feel so they get frustrated. When they curse they get more angry. It really doesn't help but makes things worse.
I usually try not to curse on a usual basis.. as it is not "lady-like". But I do have a bit of a hard try controlling my anger.
Anyhow, when I curse and let it all out at the moment, the anger will be significantly decreased then if I were to hold it in.
But of course, the cursing and letting it all out, never helps me in any way. If anything it makes the situation even worse. And neither does holding it in.
I've been researching anger management techniques, but I feel like a lost hope.. Blah!
So to answer you question, cursing might help reduce the anger in the sense that you're venting and lashing it out. Just try not to vent or lash it out on anyone, as it will only make matters worse. (From my personal experience)
No, it actually makes me angrier. Once I discovered that I started working to stop swearing. I also find myself in a lot of pain if I throw something in anger (I have a nerve disease), or have an angry discussion, so I'm making big inroads to end that, too.
No, it actually can increase anger, because it keeps the individual in the negative mindset and adds to the "heat" of the moment.
Humor is what helps reduce anger... to find more creative ways to express oneself instead of using expletives is an easy way to introduce humor into a heated situation. The more creative one can get, the funnier it will become. ;)
Yes, but it makes me look like I do not have any class!
No, I don't think so. But it was a way of getting my parents, teachers, neighbors, and elderly old ladies mad at me.
Some people express their anger through cursing, and maybe it works for some people. I believe it's much better to curse and let your anger out rather and suppressing it. So, if you're angry, curse however much you want, but examen your situation and determine if it's an appropriate time to curse.
