Is swearing good for us.


When i was young i was always told that swearing was bad and whenever i would ever i would swear my mum would tell me “you wash your mouth out with soap”
Swearing can be rude, crude and offensive. It can reflect a bad attitude that looks bad on your image and your relationships. People might perceive you as an abrasive person who lacks character, maturity, intelligence, manners and emotional.
Everyone swears some more than others. In my opinion i don’t think there is anything wrong with swear if you’re having a laugh with your mates but if you are swearing at someone you don’t know then they would take it offensively. Or even if you are having an argument with someone u do no and you swear at them they might take it offensively.
Most of the time people swear because they have hurt themselves. According to research swearing is often used as a form of stress relief and anger management, and may actually be an under-appreciated way to blow off steam.
According to Keele University swearing triggers your body’s natural “fight or flight” stress response and actually increases your tolerance to pain.
An exercise was carried out that involved 64 people who were asked to put their hand in a tub of ice water while first repeating a swear word and in the second experiment reaping a common word used to describe a table. Researchers found out that “Swearing increased pain tolerance, increased heart rate and decreased perceived pain compared with not swearing”
Coming to a conclusion everyone swears we probably shouldn’t do it because it’s rude but on the other hand when we swear we do feel good after well i do anyway but hay .
