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
