--- Quote from: TheEvilDog on 12 Oct 2015, 01:56 --- Faye probably said somewhere along the lines of five sentences to Bubbles, leaving the android to the likes of Marten, Dale, Marigold and Pintsize.

I put that down to the compression of dramatic storytelling. IRL, there'd have to be more than that said. Still, everybody seems to give up on communicating a bit quickly.
Not sure what Bubbles is after when it comes to social interaction. She makes no effort to reach out to anyone, and gets offended by everybody else's initial efforts to reach out to her. Yes, she's a broken personality (notwithstanding her protests that she's not). Inviting her to a party without a plan to ease her into opening up was probably unwise, whatever Faye's intentions.
Assuming we don't see a Bubbles redemption arc, then this is a demonstration to Faye that trying to shut down your problems without dealing with them (i.e. being a dry drunk) is a bad idea. Maybe we'll see Faye at another meeting soon.

It doesn't look like she wants social interaction at all. She's only come to the party because her distaste for social interaction has been eclipsed by an irrational urge to prove that she's "not chicken".

--- Quote from: Stoon on 11 Oct 2015, 22:00 ---Maybe it's because I'm socially incompetent, but I don't understand what Faye was trying to do.
--- 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.

It doesn't work that way in real life. I've never made any friends at a party.

--- Quote from: Wildroses on 12 Oct 2015, 00:24 ---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.

In my case it was the socially incompetent person was reluctantly dragged out to the bar. At the bar literally nobody said one word to me. So I got up, put on my jacket, and left. Nobody noticed. Nobody the next day asked where I had disappeared to.
