[SETTING: MIHNA and WAYLEN are having sex in WAYLEN’S bed in his dark room.]

 MIHNA

I’m almost there--

 WAYLEN

Oh hey, uh, I just wanted to let you know that I’m really not looking for a relationship right now.

 MIHNA

Um, what? Why are you talking about relationships?

 WAYLEN

Well, I just want to be honest, you know? I just don’t want anyone’s feelings getting hurt.

 MIHNA

Uh, okay, but there’s no chance of my feelings getting hurt, so can we please just focus?

 WAYLEN

I just want to be really clear that I’m not in a place to make any commitments. I’m really busy with work, and, I mean I’m sorry. I wish I could be more to you than just a really incredible lay.

 MIHNA

I’m really okay with this just being sex. But if you could just cut down on the chitchat it’d really help me out.

 WAYLEN

Wait, what-- this is just sex to you?

 MIHNA

Yes, but THIS is BARELY sex. Please just shut your mouth and look pretty.

 [WAYLEN moves MIHNA off of him. MIHNA sighs.]

 WAYLEN

Dude, that’s not cool. If you come home with me you should at least want to go on a date with me.

 MIHNA

No, no, I don’t want to go on a date, and please don’t make me breakfast.

 WAYLEN

Wow, you’re being really disrespectful. Here I am, opening up to you, and you’re saying you only see me as a sexual object.

 MIHNA

Look, I’ll still respect you tomorrow.

 WAYLEN

This is exactly why you can’t be my girlfriend. I’m the kind of guy who can talk about my feelings and doesn’t just hide behind

 MIHNA

We both don’t want to date. There is no problem here. Can we just finish, please? It’s too late to go another guy’s place.

 WAYLEN

What?! You’re sleeping with other people? Wow, I did not think you were that kind of a girl, like I did not think you were someone who just slept around.

MIHNA

We met three hours ago.

 WAYLEN

I made a big mistake letting some sex-crazed woman come here and use me like this. I’m feeling pretty violated. I really need you to leave.

 [MIHNA moves to leave]

WAYLEN

You’re just gonna give up on us that easily?! I thought we had something!

Challenging the self is a peculiar way to reach self improvement and discover new abilities, never known before.

Chances had always come to the individual to get out of the familiar ground, step into new territories of the unknown, where the psychological mechanisms are not instantly ready to react into the defense and preservation of the self. Keep in mind that most frequently, the human mind acts in the self preserving and protection direction, so all reactions are conditioned to this main goal, does not matter how well does it know the area that is inserted.
