If you curse other people, you #curse 2 people at a time: the other person and you. Yes you include yourself in the curse even if you think not. Why? Because whoever curses someone will not be pleasing in the eyes of God. Why? Whatever comes out of us can defile us especially when our insides are dirty. Jesus said to bless and pray for your enemies. Usually those include people you hate and who do/did bad things to you.
As I said, the people who hurt you need prayers the most. They hurt others because they are hurting inside, whether they want to admit it or not. So when you choose to cuss and hate strangers or family members for whatever reason, and they do not pray for you at all, well, it's both your loss. So... watch this for practical advice on how to do it. 😉

A great deal of your anger involves your defense against loss of self-esteem, when people criticize you, disagree with you, or fail to behave as you want them to. Such anger is always inappropriate because only your own negative distorted thoughts can cause you to lose your self-esteem. When you blame others for your feelings of worthlessness, you are always fooling yourself.
It's important to know that there are situations where anger can be a valid and healthy response. For instance, if someone is being disrespected or treated unfairly, expressing anger assertively can be a way to set boundaries and advocate for oneself.
However, it's crucial to distinguish between healthy anger and toxic anger that is rooted in the need to protect a fragile sense of self-esteem. When our self-worth is solely dependent on external validation, any perceived criticism or disagreement can feel like a personal attack, leading to disproportionate anger.
Instead of blaming others for our feelings, it's crucial to take responsibility for our own emotional responses. This involves challenging negative thoughts and developing healthy coping mechanisms to deal with criticism and setbacks. By building resilience and fostering a sense of self-worth independent of external validation, we can navigate disagreements and challenging situations with greater composure and emotional intelligence."
