Everyone sometimes swears in anger. Although unpleasant for the environment, curse words often serve as an "exhaust valve" because they help the person who utters them to expel accumulated negative emotions as soon as possible, psychologists point out.
- When we are angry, cursing has an almost cathartic purifying effect because it helps us deal with strong feelings that obsessively preoccupy us because of some ugly situation. And those who have the habit of "emptying" themselves in this way can more easily bear the infliction of physical or psychological pain - explains American psychotherapist Dr. Rebecca Roach.
Research conducted at New York University has shown that people who swear are more sincere, and that swearing emphasizes the importance of the message they want to convey. Most people swear spontaneously when they feel excited, angry or angry for some reason. But there is also a smaller group of people who do not belong in the context of this story, who have absolutely no cover for swearing, are rude and vulgar, and by swearing they just want to draw attention to themselves - points out Dr. Roach.
