So you shared your face with us, but what makes you YOU?

i curse. kinda a lot. i got it from my momma. a few years ago i read an article that found those who openly curse tend to be more honest people, so i like to consider this a positive trait. it turns a lot of people off (like my family), but i always hang on to that study. i think the reason i curse is because i'm emotionally honest; i wear my heart openly on my sleeve. growing up, people took advantage of this. in middle school i had a whole group of girl friends who basically kept me around as a joke, but i could get them things they couldn't. it took me entirely too long to figure this out. i think that was the start of my anxieties.

It's so funny...human nature, how we express ourselves and how others perceive us. Hearing you explain why you curse gives me a totally different take on it. I've never thought about it that way before. Brutal honesty!

I rarely curse. I have to be out of my mind angry to let the expletives fly. To me, the English language is full of so many wonderful words! The more I'm familiar with, the more accurately I can express exactly how I'm feeling at any given moment. I've always found a person who punctuates every sentence with a curse word to be grammatically lazy. When I listen to the guys I work with, I'm so distracted by the shear amount of f-bombs they can squeeze into a very normal conversation, that I have a difficult time even understanding what they're getting at. And then the curse word loses it's power somehow, and doesn't even mean anything anymore.

It's not that I'm a prude, when I'm red-hot angry I think it's very acceptable to illustrate this with well-timed cursing meant to deliver a message.

However, it's interesting what you said about the correlation between cursing and honesty. Not sure why they go together, but interesting nonetheless.
