Every now and then I see extremely volatile words being used
which spark off intense frustration, chaos and hurt someone a lot in many ways.
Word usage, weird it may seem, can have a huge impact upon in our daily lives
and it DOES affect us in infinite ways. Subconsciously, if not consciously our
psyche conforms to the thoughts and feelings thus reactions and behavior in
accordance with the words we speak/write/hear/see and so on… And I’m not just
throwing it out of nowhere; a therapist once told me this. Per se it’s a
rationally held argument by a lot of others; and I’ve personally experienced it
as well. Gradually, it starts impinging us and our lives.
What difference would it really make if we replaced;
Feeling so pissed with ‘feeling not good’
Surveillance with ‘observing’
Pathetic with ‘Unpleasant’
I am feeling very aggressive with ‘I’m feeling a bit angry’
Judgment with ‘evaluating and analyzing’
Extremely with ‘slightly’
Very with ‘kind of’
Flirting with ‘Frankness’
I hate you with ‘I don’t like you’
I can’t do it with ‘I could give it a try’
