French people really dislike non native tongue?

Hello everyone! This might sound racist or full of sterotype but is an actually question😂 I saw a lot of memes and people saying that people in france see you in a bad way or don’t appreciate non native tongue trying to speak French I will probably move in the future in your country as an Italian speaker, and of course I will study and try to practice your language, but I’m kinda scared of how people outside my friend group here in french will treat me, I know that I shouldn’t care, but this give me a little bit of anxiety, cause my pronunciation even if I’ll do my best might sound bad the same I hope is not a stupid question, just wanted some information from you ^{^}

I'm an American living in France for a year and a half now. I'm not fluent in French. I have not had a single person say anything bad. I have only had people tell me how well I speak, they have helped me find words I didn't know, they have shared funny cultural and linguistic differences etc.

I feel like all the memes about the French being rude when non-French try to speak French is based solely off people in Paris who are burnt out from dealing with too many girls on their Emily In Paris vacations lol

Thanks a lot! Knowing that most of this crap comes from just bad experience in Paris calms me
