Thank you. That's an interesting thought you bring up. From a meta perspective, that makes sense (the writers wrote Carrie with the intention of her standing out as well). Although, I have heard some claim that her behavior has something to do with her less than pleasant life.

Whatever the reason may be for Carrie's demeanor, she still remains one of my favorite characters on the show.
