Has anyone been shamed you for learning a certain language?

When I was getting more of a grounded foundation in my Japanese language studies, my "friend" would make fun of me. He would tell me that I am "weeb" and told me to quit many times. Hell, he even told me to just learn Spanish instead (even though he doesn't know that much of it). Also, he calls me bougie and a snob for learning French. It pissed me off listening to his unwanted throughout the year. Another time I was shamed for learning Japanese was on HelloTalk. I was talking to a Japanese native and questioned why I was learning. I told him that I found Japanese interesting and I wanted to be a polyglot. He preceded to tell to learn Chinese. Just because Ivanca Trump's daughter spoke a phrase or two. So, I was just being curious if anyone actually dealt with this.

EDIT: Another example lol
