You are a Grace -- "I need to understand the world."

How to Get Along with Me



  • * Be independent, not clingy


  • * Speak in a straightforward and brief manner


  • * I need time alone to process my feelings and thoughts


  • * Remember that If I seem aloof, distant, or arrogant, it may be that I am feeling uncomfortable


  • * Make me feel welcome, but not too intensely, or I might doubt your sincerity


  • * If I become irritated when I have to repeat things, it may be because it was such an effort to get my thoughts out in the first place
