Judgment will happen no matter what, you don't get to be exempt. People judge people for any perceived social transgression, whether or not in a casual situation. If you swear a lot, some people are going to judge that, whether because it makes them uncomfortable, or because they think you sound dumb doing it. Many people won't, but some people will, because millennia of a culture where certain words are taboo aren't suddenly irrelevant for everyone. That's something you'll just have to learn how to not care about, because you can't guilt people into liking it if they don't, being comfortable with it if they're not, or thinking you sound eloquent if they don't.

I'm honestly not as concerned about the judgement happening as the implication that it's me or anyone who speaks like me who needs to change my vocabulary because someone else finds it distracting, that's why I said, "Distracting to you is not necessarily distracting to someone else."

I spoke about my anxiety to give someone a possible reason as to why someone might speak the way they do. There are also a host of other reasons people end up developing these so called "verbal tics" so I think less judgement in general may not be a bad thing.

Your reasoning also confuses me a bit because by the same token of what you're saying, why do I have to be comfortable with them judging me? Maybe they have to learn to "not care about" how others speak?

I feel like we have had this exact discussion before on fs and it always draws out the slightly snobby "swearing is lazy expression" people. That's true, but communication is too essential to have to be intelligent all the time.
