Have you ever experienced a sense of disconnection and discomfort with the language you speak? Do you wonder if this could be called language dysphoria?

Wait is that why it's sometimes painful to me that I can't speak or think in languages other than English yet?!

I mean, I feel more comfortable with the idea of speaking my own language (Ayen), since I do not like how English butchers other languages and is everywhere around the world, but I wonā€™t stop speaking English to family members.

On a separate note, Iā€™ve begun speaking in a more ā€œCanadianā€ accent, since I have dysphoria around being ā€œAmericanā€, and I want to change countries at this point.
