"I'm depressed, okay, Aaron?"Page 255
"Yeah, I know, about what?"
"No, man, I'm depressed in general. I have, like clinical depression."
"No way! You're like the happiest guy I know!"
"What are you talking about?"
"That's a joke, Craig, You're like the craziest person I know...But you know, the problem is you don't chill enough. Like even when you're here, you're always worried about school or something; you never just kick back and let things slide, you know what I mean? We're having a party tonight-where are you gonna be?"
Basically this conversation ends with a, "Fuck you" which is what Aaron deserves. He is blatantly insensitive after one of his friends finally comes clean about his mental health. Making jokes and trying to solve Craig's problems with petty advise show that Aaron may have never been a true friend. This is the point in the novel where our protagonist figures out that cutting some ties could benefit him.
