(Your friend is excellent at gaming and he has asked you to play a video game with him. You are nervous, but a bit interested.) 

Yes, in my 14 years of existing on this planet, I have never played a video game. And besides, how can I ever compete with you?

(You were challenged by one of the best gamers in the world to compete in a 1v1. He is a jerk to everyone, and you want to show him what you can do. You are angry and confident.)

You know what, jerkface? I accept your challenge. Bring it on.

(Your best friend got jealous of all the new friends you were making, and thought you wouldn't have time for him anymore. You are sympathetic and grateful for him.

Hey, listen. You're my best friend. And you're the one who introduced me to gaming and this whole new incredible world, and all our new friends! I'll never not have time for you. No matter how many friends I get, that will never change. Now come here.
