Swearing is a cheap, readily available, calorie neutral, drug free means of self-help.

What we're theorizing swearing does is it silences our behavioral inhibition system, which just means those stopping thoughts, voices just go a little bit quieter.

So we're a bit freer to listen to the go voices and push ourselves.

When you're afraid of public speaking, maybe when you're hesitant to negotiate a salary rise, maybe when you're shy about approaching a person you're attracted to.

There are moments in life when...

We can overthink things, and being disinhibited is a good thing.
