Part of it, and I guess there's no use denying it, is a rather pathetic craving for attention
Ah yes, "who will read this and comment and stuff if I don't write in english?" But then, I say to myself, mine IS an open journal, it's a place to interact, and the lingua franca on LJ is english so... not that pathetic after all, oder? Was net.
I guess it might be a way of maintaining a certain emotional distance that makes it easier to talk about personal issues
Yes, that's true for me too. Sometimes german gets too personal, but it's still an inbetween, the language that really gets my skin bloody and drives a fist into my stomach is spanish. Sometimes it's strange, this language business...
