the silly thing about Language is that it will make you feel like a different person when you write something in not your native one
#idk if it's a general sentiment or maybe im just omg so quirky like that but it's like. the way i write and express my thoughts in english#somehow feels different from the way i do it in russian?#the speech patterns i use and just the general writing doesn't feel the same (i mean obviously it's literally a different language#with different sentence structure and lexicon but) for me it's more like? almost a different identity altogether#of course it ties up to the social media perception of me because for example when i write fiction in english i can steel see#my writing style and writing devices i use being almost the same as in my works in russian so it's more about#how i put out (and perceive) myself on social media so my tweets and posts in my native language feel different from the ones i write in eng#but i also feel more comfortable expressing my thoughts in english and not just in a way that i feel more connected to it (that too though)#but also just less awkward? i only really realised that when i started using slowly#because the letters i wrote in russian always felt more awkward and restrained and the english ones i write without much thoughts#and way more comfortably because I Dont Really Feel Like Myself so its easy to detach myself from my general awkwardness#because it feels like IM not saying these things someone else does its not really Me. or something idk#it doesn't feel like “fake” identity or smth like it's still Me it's just. different somehow and im not sure i can express it properly#anyway.#this is such an interesting phenomenon to me#how tightly your identity tied not only to your native language but also others that you speak freely#i want to find some research about it maybe#especially with people who who are fluent with 3 or more languages
