logger's emotional account: Angela, who has over 15,000 followers on her TikTok account RealPHDFoodie, embarked on a month-long European trip with a few days' stop in the city of Lyon. In a TikTok video titled “France made me cry,” she described the city as isolating, attributing it to locals making her feel inadequate for not adopting their French language and culture.
“I had no problem meeting people and socializing in general in Italy, or even in Germany — people tend to be colder — but I had no problem whatsoever," she says in the video. "But in France, the experience is very different... I almost feel stupid for coming here, spending so much money. I even bought a French hat!
"I was at a restaurant in Paris and sat there for 30 mins. No one told me they don’t serve food past 2pm (tables eating were from earlier) made me cry," a commenter wrote.
"I went to Paris to visit an online friend I had known for a while. In person she was cold, her family unwelcoming, and when we saw her friends she didn’t introduce me, so I introduced myself and they flat out ignored me," another shared.
