I speak like baudrillard in english now. Unironically. I don't enjoy it, but it's better than my zizek phase.

Generally speaking, any idea I have beyond a direct action or proposition is utterly diffused by my inability to articulate clearly and in such a way that doesn't aggravate others, even though I am constantly attempting to clarify my point. The more I try, the more the void becomes my conversational partner.

this year I've have so little social interaction and spent so much time learning french that my pronunciation of english has gotten sloppy and my tongue feels like it's in all the wrong places in my mouth.

Yeah, I've totally reverted in quite a number of ways. Social interaction and the niceties of the social dichotomy have been defenestrated to such a point that my filter is all but gone. While some would think it a virtue to speak what's on one's mind, it's proven to be more than a little offensive to those I care deeply about.
