I just started a huge fight because I got way too exited about something, and missed social cues. I feel so defeated.

Let me preface this by saying it was absolutely wrong of him to abuse you and you should uninvite him. Also it’s your parents’ car, so they make the rules.

But then also, why are you assuming everyone will like the same kind of music you like? It’s not the most pleasant experience having to listen to music for HOURS on end when it’s the kind of music you absolutely hate. Sure they can put headphones on. But no headphones can completely drown out ambient sounds, even when noise cancellation is on. And with bass, you can feel it even if you can’t hear it. You could’ve nicely offered to play music that others like too instead of forcing others to listen to your kind of music.

And not eating during a road trip? If this is a long trip, they should just starve? Don’t you think that’s unreasonable? Let people have their meals or eat when they’re hungry. Your parents are being unreasonable here.

Yes it’s wrong to abuse anyone, but you’re being selfish and inconsiderate too. If you can’t accommodate someone even one bit for basic stuff like when they want to eat food, then I don’t understand how you can even maintain any friendships or relationships. Not everyone is like you and likes the same stuff you do. If you can’t be accommodating, then don’t even offer to drive others. Just go alone.
