As a Belgian, I noticed that people usually get warmer when they learn I'm not French.

Hopefully the cliche will change over time.

It's like the Canadians when they don't want people to think they're Americans. Some Americans even pretend they're Canadian for the same reason. I'm French and I knew about these for a long time but never thought of the parallel with France/Belgium. Damn I might start using this and just say I'm Belgian haha.

I speak Dutch, so usually there's no issue.
