My colleagues swear quite a lot at work and as a principle I don’t like to use profanities but have found myself starting to mutter things under my breath by the end of the day. They also tend to take their frustration out on the horses at times by hitting or punching them which I feel is unacceptable.

It is all very upsetting and as I have no friends and don’t get a lot of support on my situation at work from my family any advice would be really helpful.
