In life, we always encounter some people who curse as soon as they open their mouths, and every few sentences contain insults. These types of people must be kept as far away as possible, otherwise, they will lower your own standards. What kind of psychology is behind the habit of cursing?
What is the psychology behind liking to curse?
1. Seeking attention
Always shouting and cursing in public places, these people have a certain degree of histrionic personality disorder. Due to limited abilities or other factors, they don't receive attention and recognition from those around them, but in their own minds, they are the main characters. They curse in the hope of gaining attention from those around them. The more people watching, the more fiercely they curse.
2. Behavioral habit
Cursing is a habitual behavior, developed from a young age, related to the family of origin, that is, the relationship with parents. Children who grow up in families full of scolding and hitting tend to like cursing when they grow up. For them, this is a normal way of communication.
3. Venting negative emotions
Using cursing as a means to vent emotions is actually a wrong way of emotional release, indicating low emotional intelligence. These people may seem easy to get along with, but when they encounter setbacks or things that don't go their way, their true nature is revealed. They curse at whoever is around first, making themselves feel better, but their friends or others suffer.
4. Mental illness
The so-called mental illness refers to abnormal nervous system function, involuntarily cursing, accompanied by pouting, facial distortions, shaking the head, shouting, convulsions, and blinking.
5. Oral pleasure
People who like to curse are stuck in the oral stage, obtaining pleasure from sucking and breastfeeding activities in childhood, which transforms into cursing in adulthood to gain a certain pleasure. The psychological age of people who like to curse is relatively young.
6. A sign of incompetence
Generally, people who like to curse often have no real abilities, just enjoying the thrill of cursing. If you confront them seriously, they immediately back down and find various excuses. Because they are powerless in real society, they seek a sense of achievement and victory through language.
Friendly reminder
Don't engage in cursing matches with uncultured people; you can give them an indifferent and contemptuous smile. Language can't solve any problems, only making them more complicated. Learn to use the environment to deal with people who like to curse, rally the crowd around you, and use the power of the masses to make the curser back down. Also, maintain a relatively calm mindset. No matter what they do, everyone has their own reasons, and cursing is no exception. Don't hastily label others. Strive to improve your professional skills and get rid of the bad habit of cursing.
