Why shouldn't you limp into a pot?

A friend told me to stop limping into pots and I don't seem to understand. if something is bad, explain why it's bad instead of using poker slang. I prefer people that actually teach instead of making newcomers feel confused. One thing I've noticed is that everybody suddenly becomes a professor in poker especially if they have gained some experience. What does this mean?

Players who regularly limp are usually frowned upon because it often reduces the action at the table. I believe that knowing when to use pot control effectively is a valuable skill in poker.

Limping isn't always wrong, but doing it too often can create problems. It gives other players a cheap chance to see the flop, leaves you without the betting lead, and often puts you in difficult situations after the flop.
