Swearing

One thing that I find very peculiar about myself is that I don't swear. Why I don't swear isn't for any religious reason, and I don't have any strong moral standoff against people who do. My first instance in not swearing was when I was probably around 12 years old, and I told my brothers that I was almost old enough to swear. They rightfully told me its not your age that matters in swearing, but much more your maturity, and that there is no age at which you can start swearing. That might be the starting reason for why I don't swear, but I definitely think I'm mature. That's not what I find intriguing though, its my tendency to use words like fudge instead of swearing. When I say fudge in my mind it is meaning the same thing that someone who says the F words means, but for some reason I'll still say it. This shows I'm not against the morality against the word, because I'll say something with the same meaning. Even more, society interprets it as the same thing, so it is not like I am trying to show society that I stand against swearing. I think it might be a self fulfillment, and against change attitude that keeps me from swearing. I don't want to swear now because I've gone so long without doing it, and I don't want to change my ways, because it will make me feel like I am changing who I am. I just wanted to talk about something I found weird about myself, so thanks for reading have great day!
