Meanwhile, at a small social get together in the living room..
Ned: You don’t talk much do you?
Max: What the hell is that supposed to mean!?
Seth: Yo!!
Terry: Yeah man what the fuck is with you!?
Max: I’m not just going to let this dickhead make me even more self-conscious in front of everyone!!
Ned: I really didn’t mean it like that.
Max: You did. And even if—
Ned: Dude no I seriously did not trust me!!
Max: You’re just saying that because I confronted y—
Seth: Max!!
Max: Let me fini—
Terry: Max please just ch—
Max: I’m NOT going to “chill” when he’s talking shit!! I didn’t meet you all at this get together to be hurtfully criticized in front of everyone!! And I’m trying not to drink and none of you are helping by being assholes!!
Ned: Bro I literally didn’t mean it like that!!
Max: But you did! And even if you truly “didn’t” it still was NOT okay!!
Terry: Max!! Please stop!!
Max: I will NOT!!! Because I’m sick of being made fun of and angrily criticized for being quiet!! Like you have no idea how many times people have been mean towards me for being quiet!! I’m sick of not receiving the amount of kindness I deserve in return! I’m sick of so many others getting mad at me when I try kindly joining in on conversations! I’m just sick of being nice to please others who treat me like shit! It’s truly NOT fair for me!! I really need to at least attempt to stand up for myself even if I don’t always perfectly “diffuse” the tension because I’d rather fail than in this case keep taking bullshit in addition to all the other meanness that I NEVER deserved!!
Ned: Bro just get out..
Max: I will fuck you up!!
Ned: Do I need to call the police!?
Max: Do whatever the fuck you want I don’t give a fuck!!
Max flips a card table and then storms out of Ned’s house while all his friends ignore his tantrum and then later on decide to cut him off.
