I'd like to share my opinion about the social/psychological problems that comes with language-learning. Just as in any other hobby, learning a new language happens at different paces for different people. Starting from ground zero, you constantly build your skills, while this is not happening at the same rate for everyone. Many quit right away. A vast majority is seeking to socialize rather than learning a new language - as if these two targets can not go hand-in-hand. And there you have the problem. If you progress too far, as in any other activity, you create an outcast out of yourself. The pool of people to share your thoughts and emotions had already shrunk to a very shallow level. No matter how open and encouraging you are, people around you might have an inferiority complex. And to be honest, why wouldn't they? What I'm referring to is a subset of a bigger problem. I'm sure there is a brief way of describing this situation. I'm not the only person who stumbled upon that. When I first read the works of F.Nietzsche, I realized that I might be on the path of self-destruction. But it was too late I guess. Unique skills and achievements come at a price. Embrace your strength. Don't be ashamed of your power. We have our own role to play in this mundane world, just as the others do.
