(Short fictional dialogue practice)
(Disclaimer: I just would like to make it clear that this is a creative writing hypothetical I thought of, and is therefore NOT intended to be taken personally. And to try reducing chances of anyone taking this personally, I just wanted to try being very clear about that. Aside from that, thanks for reading this!),
Person #1: You’re not giving me advice to help me. You’re giving me advice, because you like hearing yourself talk!
Person #2: No bro, I’m trying to help!
Person #1: Sure.. Like I haven’t heard the need for “having more confidence” a billion fucking times already!?
Person #2: Oh fuck off!!
Person #1: Yeah I knew you never cared.
Person #2: Dah fuck!?
Person #1: You give me non-stop advice, without realizing I already clearly understand everything you’re telling me, and without realizing how much you ignore what I’m telling you.
Person #2: Bullshit!!
Person #1: No! It’s the truth! I’ll come to vent to you about how I feel to have been deeply struggling, and instead of truly listening and saying “I feel you”, you’ll instantly be like “Okay so here’s what you gotta do. It’s like—”, or, you’ll get pissed off, yet ultimately, you’ll make me feel worse than before I tried reaching out to you!
Person #2: At least show some fucking appreciation of my efforts to help! And just so you know, you’re always talking about yourself. You have an overly inflated sense of victimhood! And aside from all your other problems, you’re so fucking sensitive that you just push others away!
Person #1: You call yourself a “friend”!!!? I hope you’re.. as you say.. “joking”.
Person #2: No, I’m keeping it real with you.
Person #1: You’re being a real asshole yet somehow it’s me who’s the “bad guy”.
Person #2: I’m just saying.. you have to chill out!!
Person #1: Getting pissed at me for being hypersensitive won’t help reduce it!
Person #2: Just go fucking meditate or something..!?
Person #1: Way to not make fun of it..
Person #2: Well isn’t that what you suggest!?
Person #1: I never claimed to be an expert at that!
Person #2: Well isn’t that what you “believe” you must do..?
Person #1: You know what!?
Person #2: You’re weird and a pain in the ass?
Person #1: You are so fucking lucky you don’t have autism, and that you didn’t have to live the life I did.. Like, you have no fucking idea!
Person #2: Dude fucking try to better yourself! Just because you’re “autistic” doesn’t mean I’m going to hold your hand through life!!
Person #1: I’m just asking you to not be a dickhead!!
Person #2: And I’m just letting you know that if you want to be treated like anyone else, if you fuck up more, you’ll get treated worse. The world’s not going to baby you because you have more “special needs”.
Person #1: Wow.. thanks for the compassionate understanding.
Person #2: It’s the truth.
Person #1: The truth is that I should stop emotionally opening up to you because you always say something that makes me feel so much worse as a result!!
Person #2: So as you just said, therefore, just fucking stop coming to me for support! I’m going to respond the way I respond whether you like it or not!
Person #1: That’s the other thing! I don’t have any other friends!! So who else will I turn to!?
Person #2: That’s on you.. and what about all the successful autistic people who are out there!?
Person #1: They haven’t had the same experiences! You can’t judge someone by their group either! And you’re indicating very few examples.
Person #2: Well they can be an example for you!
Person #1: On fuck off!!
Person #1 attacks Person #2 who instantly knocks out Person #1.
