The profanity definitely does not make you look very professional. Maybe it makes you cool in your circle of geek friends but you should not take it outside.

I have been programming a long time and I don't find it needful to be profane about either my successes or my failures. I have worked with people who curse but not nearly as much as you seem to. Usually, cursing to this extent is regarded as a sign of immaturity. Are you a young programmer? If not, perhaps there is someone that you can discuss this problem with. Maybe a relative, a friend, a pastor, or a psychologist. Good luck. I think this is just you.

Off words digress from what you want the widest audience to listen to and even try to understand. I suggest that you try for clarity in the words you use.
