Re: Self-censoring swearing?

[(Anonymous)]

People who don't curse ever sound really uptight though.

I used to never ever curse, but now I swear like a sailor (and then some). My non-cursing days were just the calm before the storm. :)

I didn't for the longest time either. I do occasionally now, but overall I'm fairly mild and pretty good about holding my tongue in a setting where I shouldn't.

My long time friends still sometimes give me trouble give me trouble when I do curse because they're used to me not.

What made you make the switch over, anon? :o

Oops, late reply - just came back and saw this now. I don't even know what happened - I like to blame my sister, because she came home for a visit with f-bombs, and then I picked them up, and started using them as adjectives, adverbs, etc. etc. And then online fandom - and that just compounded the problem and introduced to me the concept of compound swear words. ;)

I think that when I was a young adult, I was very "good", and yes people were surprised when I said the word "frick". The older I got, the more comfortable I got in my own skin, and with expressing myself. That doesn't mean you need swears to express yourself, though - I think sometimes it's just a quick easy shortcut.

That being said, MOST of my swearing takes place in the car, where you're kind of in a bubble and you can trash-talk without offending anyone. I don't let out f-bombs in a professional situation, with the exception of being with close confidants and in the midst of a really stressful situation.

Whew! Long-winded reply, but you made me think there.

I don't think your friends should be giving you grief about it, unless it's taking place in an inappropriate setting (and yes, I know that's subjective, too). People change! We get older, we get fatter, we may or may not get wiser, and some of us just get saltier. ;)
