Like so many Others

(Note: As always please do not take this personally and as always thanks for reading!! Genre: A short play/dialogue practice)

Person #1: I want to be treated kindly.
Person #2: Bro I literally am kind to you stop blowing shit out of proportion.
Person #1: Right there, I express feelings, and then you criticize me for feeling how I feel, which if anything makes me feel worse..
Person #2: What the fuck are you even saying!?
Person #1: That I feel worse every time I reach out to you, when instead a good friend would help me feel better after reaching out.
Person #2: Then reach out to someone else.
Person #1: Everyone else cut me off!!
Person #2: So stop acting crazy.
Person #1: Wow you’re a great friend you know that!?
Person #2: I’m saying it as it is.
Person #1: Well you can say it as it is in a nicer way.
Person #2: How?
Person #1: Instead of “you’re crazy”, possibly, “I know it’s hard feeling that people are mean to you and I’m sorry, how can I help?”
Person #2: Yeah but that’s not what you need to hear.
Person #1: What I’m now hearing is that you’re pissed off and you’re looking to try feeling better by making me feel even more down so you can therefore feel even more above me.
Person #2: You’re not making any sense.
Person #1: I’m making perfect sense. You just can’t admit that you’re also toxic for me like so many others.
Person #2: Dude just stop..
Person #1: I will.. Now fuck off you asshole!!

Person #1 ends the video call and blocks Person #2.
