Transcript excerpt from a conversational YouTube video (speakers A and B) discussing emotional communication in close relationships. The speakers describe how attempts at vulnerability can be perceived as complaining, how poor responsiveness escalates into fights, and the difficulty of becoming fully honest even among 'best friends.'

I want to say one thing being real best friends you never feel a good shit. You guys feel me if I say something and it bothers her like when she tells me she should want to tell me because she should know that like I'm not for the best her best self right but then also if I say something and then she does come tell me and my taking is like she's complaining she feels that when she tells me something that she's being vulnerable and I think that she's complaining she'll shut up and.
It'S an immediate fight because if you're actually feeling hurt then the other person doesn't take it and they want to help you or they want to make you feel better it turns into a fight because you end up hurting each other just because you don't really communicate or be sensitive to the other person's.
Guilt like truly becoming best friends in this room I assure you no one in this room is truly wrestling.
