I didn't mean to insult Alizee with the term "emotionally fragile"--- it was a poor choice of words.
If I may, I'd like to clarify something that she said in the interview:
Quote:

Thanks to him [Greg], I now feel fulfilled and free. It made me realize that I was good and that people liked me. I who am hyper sensitive and highly variable mood, who believe that this is the end of the world when something is wrong, it time-delay me and soothes me. Gregory makes me positive and calm my fears. I respect as much as I admire him.

The way I read this, Alizee seems to be saying that she has had "highly variable mood" all her life.
In other words, her "highly variable mood" is not situational--- like her shyness, it is a lifelong trait.
That's how I read it. Alizee is saying that she has highly variable mood by nature, and that Greg has a calming influence on her.
Would you agree with that interpretation?
