Christ, masa. Stop living my dreams and complaining about them
Edit: But seriously, good luck with that. Though I think you're right on your assumption of it just being a "Mexican thing". Part of me wants to say it's a language issue, since I know certain phrases like "te quiero" and "me encantas" don't carry the same meaning in Spanish as they do in English. The language itself can be quite expressive like that, and perhaps that's just manifested in the intensity you're picking up on??
