Why Do I Act This Way? by Elparaiso(m): 5:30pm On Jan 25, 2018 |
My problem is almost too simple, I just want to understand the reason behind it. I've noticed that I speak differently to different people. Try hard as I can, there are people I can't bring myself to converse in pidgin with. While there are people I can't even use proper grammar with, even when I know they're educated. I used to brush it off with the excuse that sometimes, I talk with people with different educational backgrounds. Then I noticed that I can't speak pidgin in front of some of my friends, but these same people will go full Warri with the people I go full Warri with. It's not a matter of acting posh in front of girls, I do it with guys too. It's almost like I have different personalities for different people. I just want to know why. |

wh33z: It's not a matter of being myself. I'm fluent in English and Pidgin. I just don't know why I can only use pidgin with person A, when I could also use English. 1 Like |

First off, we ain't psychologist over here, we're romantic. (Wait! Did you just feel my rhymes?? ![]() It's just how you feel around them. The more relaxed you feel around said folks, the more relaxed you'll act around them, even to your utterances. I tear pidgin with some gees and can't dare speak pidgin with others. 3 Likes |
