    I’m not depressed because I use the language “I am sad/depressed/”

    I didn’t really say that though did I.

      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?

        Did you even read my comment? Where did I imply I had any certainty about it whatsoever?

        I wasn’t trying to start a fight, just an interesting thought that I had. Language 100% does affect our thought, whether we know it or not.

          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?
