But I do wonder why she got overstimulated that day and by what exactly.

Totally.

I'm not blaming her for Stacey's frankly insane interpretation based on what she's shared with us, that she made everyone uncomfortable and didn't want to be there and all of that.

I'm just curious about how it was framed and if she might have unintentionally given off a vibe or something.

But then they got into this big conflict and that sent her into what sounds like kind of a tailspin.

She had a full blown panic attack.

She was shaking.

Hours.

What a ride home that must have been.

And then she said that afterwards, she's never felt so small and stupid and worthless in her life.

Those are powerful words.

Yeah.

So I'm with you.

I mean, it sounds like Stacey's the main problem.

And I'm kind of getting the sense that Stacey's behavior lands with our friend here in a certain way.

And our friend here's behavior might land with Stacey in a certain way that produces particularly painful and destabilizing feelings.

This fear around the hair, the activation around conflict, and then, of course, most importantly, this diminishment, this feeling of worthlessness when someone she is close with doesn't have good feelings toward her.

Where Stacey's difficult words and behavior end and our friend's feelings and reactions begin, I do think there's a ton of information in there and that would be good stuff for our friend to understand.

Yeah, that's more or less what I'm getting at.

Look, our friend here might just be more sensitive than the average person.
