Do you feel "emotionless" when you communicate in English? Is it because of the nature of English, or is it because it's not my native language?

Do you feel "emotionless" when you communicate in English? Is it because of the nature of English, or is it because it's not my native language?

When I communicate in English, I become more logical and emotionless. I don't feel much even if someone said vulgar words to me. But in my language it's easy to feel sad or angry if someone says "shine (die)" to me. Do you feel the same?

And I assumed it's because of the 2 reasons.

  1. Nature of English as a language (probably the same goes to languages like German because it feels very logical).

  2. I have not used English enough to really "feel" it. I haven't lived an actual life via English language.

What's your thought?

Can you spot diaspora of your ethnicity only by their names?

As for Japanese, it's so easy to spot the Japanese diaspora because no other ethnicities have such names like Suzuki or Takashi, and almost all Japanese names are unique to Japanese.

Idk, but maybe I'm just cherry-picking.

Is slurping noodles taboo in your country?

In Japan, it's widely accepted for many reasons.

Is that the only Japan thing or not?

Edit: Open mouth chewing is considered rude in Japan too. Seems like open mouth chewing is accepted in China, but it's not in Japan.
