Neko_Ali:
See, I can understand where Bubbles is coming from, in part. I know what it's like to be in a group or at a party and feel like everyone hates me, and are making fun of me no matter what they are actually saying. Any attempt to be polite must just be a fake and a lie. It's a matter of self worth, and the lack there of. That you think so little of yourself that the idea that anybody might like you is absolutely alien and can't be true. And yes, it's easy to get caught up in that cycle and think it's better for you and everyone else if you just aren't around.

I can't speak to Bubble's possible PTSD, but I see those signs of self loathing that I do identify with so strongly. It's an incredibly hard thing to break because you actively avoid the things that might help and seek out solitude and the company of your own thoughts, which are very much your worst enemy in this case.

--- End quote ---

She was trying to offer friendship and a bit of socialization to someone she thought might need it. Faye might have seen some of herself in her darker moments in Bubbles and thought that she could help, or at the very least offer her a chance to make some friends or meet some people.

BenRG:
There is only one thing that Bubbles doesn't seem to have thought about: Why did she come to the party? If she's that worried about Faye calling her a 'chicken', then she has behavioural problems that probably go beyond the dreams of analysis!

In other words, on a certain level, she wanted to be humiliated or 'fixed'. Both options are a total can of worms in terms of her mental stability.

Mr. Doctor:
That is indeed a very interesting point. Thanks for bringing it up ben!

Damn, at this point I wouldn't even bother coming to work. I said it in a previous thread: I just don't do aggressive behaviour. I'm having trouble having the slightest amount of sympathy to Bubbles but deep down all I can think of is a simple " Fuuuuuuuuuuuck it". I'd be searching for a new place immediately if I were Faye.

Wildroses:
I'm glad Bubbles stormed out of the party instead of having a great time. It's less clichéd.

I've read the story about how the emotionally damaged person was dragged reluctantly to a party, made connections, had a great time and either was instantly fixed to embark on life as an extrovert or took steps on the path to becoming fixed and an extrovert many times before.

To quote the great Ben Yahtzee Croshaw, not every introvert is waiting for the day somebody kicks down their door and forcibly drags them to a roller rink. I think Faye just learnt that.
