I'm bilingual, and I think I might have a slightly different personality in English than in Spanish.

It definitely has to do with how things feel when processing them in one or the other. English is more detached for me.

I remember one guy actively trying to get me to rile up in a business setting. Had he spoken spanish I might have fallen for it, but since he was using english, his word's emotional content was dulled, so I was able to fend off the attack much more easily.

Also, "fuck" is such a fantastic word.
