Sunbutt23 Link ParentI took 12 years in school in the US. So I learned “high French” as I like to call it. I speak so flowery that even parisians get confused: “ou se trouve les toilettes?” But if you’re asking...I took 12 years in school in the US. So I learned “high French” as I like to call it. I speak so flowery that even parisians get confused: “ou se trouve les toilettes?”
But if you’re asking accent, I have a thick French accent. Like someone trying to speak English with a British accent 🫠

Sunbutt23 Link ParentI can start a conversation after careful planning and rehearsing. Then I forget the vocab or a gender, get flustered, power through, and stop listening when the other speaker responds. ;-; But I...I can start a conversation after careful planning and rehearsing.

But I was able to make it through two weeks in Belgium and France so I got something right?

Comment on Hi, how are you? Mental health support and discussion thread (May 2026) in ~health.mental
Sunbutt23 (edited )LinkI’m going to make two mistakes here: posting from mobile (causing me to be short and lose nuance) and posting to vent (in what seems to be an “advice oriented” thread). So, apologies in advance....I’m going to make two mistakes here: posting from mobile (causing me to be short and lose nuance) and posting to vent (in what seems to be an “advice oriented” thread). So, apologies in advance.
My mental health is not what I would like. I feel like I oscillate (vacillate?) between extreme rage and extreme lust. There is an in between, but I don’t experience / remember it without extreme effort. It’s frustrating and demoralizing.
The sheer intensity of the feelings causes me internal strife / adds to my rage but pointed at myself this time for having these feelings. So it snowballs until I go to sleep.
I’m venting here. Don’t want you to fix it. I just want someone to know. One of my biggest issues is that I don’t feel I can talk to anyone about it because they will be dismissive (you have such a good life just look around) or helpful (I’m worried about you).
So anyway, thanks for listening!
Edit: subbed lust for horny

I was shy my first trip to France. But this trip, my partner took us to a grocery store in the country side and said “we need meat, cheese, and bread. Go order some at the counter.” And unfortunately when I said “Pardon ma francaise je sais seulement un petit peu. Parlez vous englaise peut-etre?” They said “non” with a smile and it was all downhill (from an embarrassment standpoint) from there.
What did help actually was staying in a dairy farm outside Brussels: the farmer spoke English, Flemish, and French. They were much more forgiving of my lack of vocab and even complimented me. Did wonders for my confidence.
