No you're not unusual. If you don't feel like cursing, or it doesn't flow naturally from you, then don't.
That said I have to address the age old fallacy that cursing is a sign of limited vocabulary. The oxford dictionary of slang contains over 500 pages, many of which are filled with a plethora of different swear words. If an individual knew the meaning and context of every one of these words, then it would be safe to say they would have an exceptionally broad vocabulary.
People who spout this old maxim are generally just taking a shortcut to thinking for themselves. They are usually the same people who can't differentiate between bad language and bad communication in regard to which should offend more.
Swear words are just adjectives, verbs and nouns. They will have specific effects on communication depending on their context like any other set of words. I can say horribly offensive things without using a single swear word. People who correct other peoples choice of language are generally condescending and like forcing their rules on others.

Good for you. Swearing is usually a habit or just a way to get attention. Look at almost anything on TV or other media and we are all just blasted with cursing.
Don't call yourself a wimp for crying out loud. Wimps are people that can't come up with intelligent words to use to say what they mean.

Some people curse to be cool. It doesn't help. Why would you want to be like those posers?
Others curse because they feel the words more adequately represent their feelings. You are obviously capable of expressing yourself without cursing.
So to answer your question, yes that's uncommon. No, you're not a wimp. You're just less likely to mess up by letting improper language slip at an inopportune moment.

No your not a wimp. You are an exceptional person. If you look in the bible you will find that cursing/swearing is a sin. Dont start just because everyone else does. Its a bad habit, just like smoking. Hard to quit once you start. So do yourself a favor and DONT.

Your not a wimp, I hardly curse and I know a lot of people that don't. Curse words don't validate assertiveness. Some people feel that they need to curse but they don't.

Try hanging around a classier group of people. Cursing, all the time, is a classic sign of ignorance, low intelligence and a limited vocabulary.
Try cursing during a job interview, then let me know how it goes.

Your son has discovered a effective lesson right here. in certain circumstances, human beings act like jackholes, and also you'll't assume them to regulate their habit. you won't be able to have him wondering each and every time there is someone doing some thing he would not like, he can merely accost them and they are going to bow to his will. that receives him damage! you won't be able to assume he will not in any respect listen cussing. he will come upon way worse than that. you should describe that youngsters do not say those words, and the very restricted cases as an man or woman that it would want to be ok. clarify some human beings haven't any type and he won't be able to change them. in case you probably did not like it, you should are turning out to be up and moved. there is not any regulation adverse to being stupid. you would have complained to the govt., yet when she become utilizing known words and not in any respect swearing, might want to you've felt an same? become she loud? Cowardly inactivity? Please. extra like strong person-friendly experience. She'd have advised you in case you don't like it flow. Then what? What might want to the boy imagine then in case you probably did or did not?

Not at all i dont curse either, people who ususully curse have lack of self control and dont know how to deal with their feelings other then spitting aout fire balls, but people who dont curse can control their feelings without swearing, and people will respect you end the long run.
