In my experience, these things have nothing to do with the language itself, but rather that it's a second language.

As a non native speaker, you just don't have those strong emotional connections to words that a native speaker would have.

Studies show that a foreign language uses more of the thinking brain rather than the feeling brain (they showed this by asking personal / sexual questions in different languages to multilingual people.)
