how bad words and behavior affect social life:

Language and communication affect our social relations in many ways as words that we speak and the actions we take leave their mark on other people. If one is rude and has an improper choice of words, one may slowly start being avoided by friends, relatives, co-workers, and people in general

This is the reason why many people do not appreciate the use of bad language or any wayward language. Especially, some people consider such words to be used in a specific manner and find it highly offensive. If much emphasis is placed on using profanity in daily conversations without thinking about the repercussions, then people will find ways of avoiding our company. While not all people may be easily offended all the time, people one is close to may start avoiding one if that becomes a daily thing. Speaking ill of others is an indicator of the lack of manners, self-control and that we do not hold the society and its structures in any esteem. It makes us look like the uneducated and crude barbarians that we are.

Likewise, obnoxious actions such as raising your voice at people, disobeying the elderly, being rebellious and uncooperative pushes people away and disrupts togetherness. Everyone loves to have friends and people they can talk to and share their thoughts and ideas with, who are polite, humble, courteous, jovial and friendly. In as much as we may be communicating or engaging in some form of activity, we may say wrong things or do wrong things that are very unethical in the society thus spoiling the image we portray to the public. Some people describe our communication as uncomfortable and strained. Everyone wishes they have a stress-free relationship that does not call for constant arguments and quarrels.

Anger during conflict also makes conflict resolution hard as we aggressively use abusive language. The anger of words that one says to another will be felt for years and is the equivalent to emotional pain. People, even our beloved ones, do not feel comfortable to share their troubles and sorrows with us once the trust is already violated. Cohost and enemy – startling conflicts usually lead to unhappy endings – lifelong alienation or litigation that deplete money and spirit.

In the workplace, one is likely to frustrate a promising career through such conduct as vulgar language and rude attitude. People do not want to work with others who make work distinguishable for other employees. Managers become uneasy with managing workers who have conduct problems. This way they portray themselves as immature arrogant and unable to work in a group with others. Thus, increase in salaries, promotions and training tend to disappear slowly from the scene.

In conclusion, there is crucial and essential thinking that needs to be done about the consequences of toxic speech and actions that are socially undesirable. He who has witnessed nothing more damaging in terms of cutting off interpersonal relations than negativity in thoughts and behaviors. It is a very big challenge and a time consuming process to try and repair all the damage that has been done to the relationships. Casting a conscious effort not to aggravate the situation by the use of certain words or actions is therefore very vital. The joys of the close relationship between two people are much more valuable in our lives than the pleasure of an angry outburst.
