How to limit the overuse of words like ‘dude’ or ‘bruh’?

1. I use dude a lot. If someone has a problem with it I simply stop talking to them.

2. personally i just remain conscious that it’s a choice i’m making. i will slip up, but when i do it comes with a moment of re-acknowledging the change i want to make. eventually, it happens.

   i use to use “like” to excess, dropped the habit. when i get too sweary for my liking i make the conscious effort to rein it in.

3. I use dude too much but mostly as an exclamation, not a form of address.

   There are ways to train yourself to have better habits e.g. https://hbr.org/2018/08/how-to-stop-saying-um-ah-and-you-know
