So, this is why? I never realized, thanks for that.
En tant qu’Américain, je peux être plus honnête émotionnellement avec moins de coûts émotionnels cuando hablo una lengua que no se llama inglés.

English is my native language. I’m reasonably fluent in some parts of life in French but I feel like if I were to try to have a deeper conversation about something like emotions I would struggle to find the right words. Is that kind of what makes it easier for you non-native speakers that are identifying with this post?
I couldn’t find the exact article I read before, but I found one talking about how processing discomfort through an L2 was less emotionally distressing than in the native lang

I only swear in English because swearing in my own language makes it more dirty somehow . Also I only speak English online because no one else wouldn’t understand shit otherwise .
