Topic > Bad Language: Kicking the Habit - 984

Phase IThe behavior I will observe over the next month is the use of swear words. This is a behavior I have adopted from my family and friends. There are many reasons why I would like to change this behavior: the first is that when I am in a professional context I don't want to accidentally blurt out some bad words in front of my current/future boss and/or colleagues, the second is that using bad words in front Most people experience a feeling of disgust. It doesn't make you seem smart as a person and it doesn't make you attractive to others. This has been an annoying emotion I've been dealing with and I need to change the emotion for the better. I will feel more professional and be able to behave myself and not have to worry about using swear words in any context. Phase I Qualitative Behavior This behavior is something I would really like to change because sometimes I don't even notice that I'm using swear words. It happens more when I'm with my friends and they notice when I swear, but that's because I learned it mostly from them; but my parents tell me when they hear me, to clean up my tongue. I am ashamed; my parents raised me in an environment where I can be a professional person in everything I do. It also makes me sad that I have disappointed my peers so much. Now that I see how many times I say it a day, I'm becoming more aware of how much I say it. It's exciting to think that I don't even notice what I'm saying and that when I say it it doesn't register as a swear word. I need to clean up the language I use because I will have no way of getting a job if my language isn't professional level. When I go to a job interview it's always... middle of paper...... I must have felt like I was using this kind of language around them without any kind of language block. It's also interesting how when you're around certain people you behave one way, and when you're around others you behave another way. I know I've done this before, only to think that what you do is just to fit in with a certain crowd of people. If people would just take a step back and realize that if they could just be themselves, they would be much happier with themselves. My roommates are changing their behavior around me to help me with this change. I am an outgoing person, who knows how to talk to people without using vulgar language. So somehow your environment can help you and sometimes hurt you, like my bad language I learned. I don't blame my family or peers for this behavior I committed, I should have known better and not let the environment change me.
