This is a comment section abt how the Irish language talks abt emotions you said “language shapes how we think so its possible” I understand this to mean the English language shapes how I am feeling am I wrong? If it is a negligible effect why mention it? Language isn’t the cause of pretty any of my emotions so what’s the point in the speculation of an negligible effect?

But if it shapes how I think subconsciously it would’ve had an effect.

Edit: if you think the effect is negligible why mention it without adding that?

Refer to my other comments on this post abt my depression and anxiety. Tldr language isn’t the cause

I doubt it. I’m not depressed because I use the language “I am sad/depressed/” its uncontrollable environmental factors. I imagine its similar for anyone with lasting similar conditions like anxiety etc

But like my depression isn’t caused by thinking “I am depressed” is my identity itscauseed by uncontrollable environmental factors. It sounds good for normal people but it won’t help the people its meant to. If you think you can fix my sadness because of my experience w discrimination in pretty much every part of my life by js changing the way I identify with sadness go ahead but like good luck is all I’m saying.
