Answer explanation

Sometimes when we curse and use inappropriate language, it can hurt the people around us, including ourselves.

These words are said in intense emotional situations, such as when a speaker is angry and frustrated, under pressure, in sudden pain, or confronted by something unexpected.

Instead of cursing, you should try to communicate your feelings and what you want to say through alternative words.
