That doesn't mean anything. Just because I want to stay in this world, it doesn't mean that I think it's perfect. That's like suggesting that because I would rather have a minor stomach ache than be stabbed repeatedly, I must love having stomach aches.

So I might be a little overly-emotional. What's so fascinating about that? While I appreciate your appreciation for this flaw of mine, I don't see what you find so interesting about it. If it were anyone else, they'd simply find it annoying.
