The words we say daily may affect those around us. Whether we know who hears us or not, our vocabulary could impact the lives that we never intend to. Primarily I am speaking about cursing. An easy example which I'll use as my main point is my own life. I do my best to expell cussing or curse words from my normal speak because I don't want to be a generally negative person. When I hear someone at school in the hall cussing with their friends, they sound immature to me. So not just for that reason do I not cuss but so that I respect myself more. As for the negativity, when I'm having a good day and someone around me begins cursing it makes me awkward in the sense that I don't get any say as to whether I just heard that or not. Because cursing is often used when excited it's not always meant to be negative but to someone hearing it out of context it could just sound like you are a person who frequents using words with negative connotations.
