Emotional Balancing Failures

A one part emotionally dysregulated dialogue scene..,

Gerald: Yes, I do struggle to remain focused, when several others do not stop giving me multiple instructions at once.. In other words, the more instructions I receive at once, the less I can please everyone.
Jack: Man.. speak for yourself!!
Gerald: I AM!!
Finneas: He’s self-absorbed.
Gerard: Yo!!!!
Finneas: All you talk about is yourself, we’re sick of—
Gerald: You don’t listen..
Finneas: Okay asshole.. okay..
Gerald: You assholes, constantly.. f*cking constantly, ask me to do this.. and then yes.. it is “that”, right after!! I’m sorry I’m an asshole!! I’m sorry!! I just can’t even remember how to take care of myself because I can’t help you all at once!! I can’t!! We need a more welcoming team spirit!!
Jack: And there he goes—
Gerald: Shut up!!
Jack: Gerald!!
Gerald: You know what Jack!? Regardless to whichever forms and extents this is your fault or not, if you just happen to keep being unaware of the needs of others, their social skills will increase, and they’ll know you, way more than you’ll know yourself!! So have some respect!! Help others out, don’t just jump to conclusions that will never clearly add up!!
Jack: Duuuuude.
Gerald: Stop.. just stop..

And then, once everyone gets some rest, all their levels of irritation quiet down..
