That means a lot to me.|||Interesting, huh?

And then, if I do...|||Better than yesterday. :)|||And I wish I could not over-analyze it when I have been awkward.  It makes it more awkward.

In our meeting, she...|||http://youtu.be/Pd0VBm8gU5o|||It really frustrates me when someone goes out of their way to make me feel unnecessarily guilty about a small mistake I made.

So, in typical INFP fashion...|||Sometimes it seems to me that male INFPs have crushes on sarcastic, mean girls... Is that accurate?|||NAGGING.
