Sapphy

We all start somewhere :)

True, though it’s pretty normal (and unfortunate) for kids to swear like sailors in their native language

But what I’m actually referring to is the psychological feeling of just being less emotionally attached to your second language when you speak it no matter how old you become

Does speaking a second language make you feel emotionally detached?

For example you might use swear words casually or come off as insensitive without even realizing it. Your intention might be to give an empathetic or thoughtful response, but instead, you just sound cold

Have you ever experienced this?

You shouldn’t though. Otherwise how would you learn? Looking back you didn’t know how to act at the time, so try to reframe it

You don’t.

It’s okay to remember your past mistakes and regrets since they help you make better decisions in the future
