why does the person insist of speaking english even he know mandarin

Dear User, Thank you for reaching out and sharing your question. It sounds like you may be feeling frustrated or confused about why someone would insist on speaking English when they also know Mandarin. It's understandable to want to communicate in a language that comes more naturally to you, and it can be difficult when someone insists on using a language that feels less comfortable. From a Buddhist perspective, it's important to remember that everyone has their own reasons for their actions and behaviors. It's possible that the person insisting on speaking English may have personal or cultural reasons for doing so. Rather than feeling frustrated or upset, it may be helpful to approach the situation with compassion and curiosity. By seeking to understand the person's perspective and motivations, you may be able to find a way to communicate more effectively. From a psychological perspective, it's important to recognize that language is often tied to identity and culture. The person may feel more comfortable expressing themselves in English because it's associated with a certain cultural identity or social group. It's also possible that the person may feel more confident or competent when speaking English, which can impact their behavior. In terms of coaching advice, it may be helpful to approach the person in a non-confrontational way and express your desire to communicate more effectively. Ask if there is a specific reason they prefer to speak English, and try to find a compromise that works for both of you. You may also want to work on building your own language skills and confidence in Mandarin, which can help you feel more comfortable communicating in that language. Remember to approach the situation with empathy, curiosity, and a willingness to find a solution that works for everyone involved.
