Rants, Raves, and Redundancies
Who loves the drama? | July 2, 2007
Everyone knows *someone* who seems to ‘love the drama’. You know the type. If things are going too smoothly with their lives, it’s almost as though they have to ‘create’ some sort of crisis to put their mind at ease.
I know a person like this. A male person.
No, no… I know it’s not fair to imply that women are the ones normally drawn into drama-esque type situations… but it is rare to find a male that seems to SEEK OUT the drama.
Personally, I don’t know how people can stand it. Seriously. Who likes walking around on eggshells and feeling like their insides are rolling back and forth all the time?
Not me.
A part of you wants to take drama people by the shoulders and shake the living hell out of them while screaming, “WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU!?” but you refrain with a small but strained smile and a faux look of sympathy on your face. Ugh.

themrs07- love the new look of your site. It’s been awhile since I have visited. Busy, you know…life, things, people, places and stuff, and stuff, and…stuff. Sorry for rambling.
Drama – how interesting a post. My thought is this. It comes in all different colors and sizes. I think we all are gulty to some degree with creating drama in our lives. On some level, it’s our way of validating our existence. For some, it’s their way of knowing they are alive (at least on some level). Can it be excessive? Absolutely! But, sometimes, people find themselves doing it without any conscious thought. We all have baggage of some sort that we carry around. We buy in to peoples’ B.S., and they buy in to our own. We do this everyday of our lives. I recently learned, If it doesn’t add or enhance to a relationship; your intimacy, your marriage, your friends, lovers, or others, leave it where it slumbers.
I may sound a little “whacked” but that’s OK. You see, I am on some level!
Love the site. I’ll be back soon!
Blessings to you and your’s,
Hawk

A post-comment to my comment (hehe) – If it is someone you like; friend of the family, co-worker and such, just let ‘em know. What’s it going to hurt? Either way, he will change it and keep his mouth shut, or just avoide you when you’re around. Both are wins – maybe!
He may not even realize what he is doing but then again, he may have been like this his whole life. Some people can’t live without the drama. Me personally, you can take it and send it to hell . . . along with the handbasker.

I know EXACTLY what you mean about drama. With people like that, it’s like you can’t win.
I have/had (tense depends on that person’s mood) a good friend. Yet I couldn’t do anything right. If I bought her a nice gift, she felt guilty because she didn’t deserve a friend like me. If I bought a gift that wasn’t exactly perfect, then I wasn’t a very good friend.
If we went to a nice restaurant, she’d later confide in me that she was worried she was only using my friendship to get good meals. If we tried a new restaurant and it wasn’t any good, then she wondered why she wasted time with a friend like me who took her to lousy places.
She once told me (although she now discounts this theory; I don’t) that she felt as though she had to be suspicious of everything, lest something bad come along and catch her off-guard. The drama was a byproduct of being perpetually on edge.
For others, I think they just enjoy being victims, so they create drama in order to victimize themselves.
I’m not rich by any means; I’m middle class, and I’m pretty comfortable. So are most of the people that I know. But it never ceases to amaze me how many people who really have it all have lives that are SOOOO difficult/unstable/dramatic. Meanwhile, for me, things seem to sail along rather calmly. Maybe I’m just lucky, but I can’t help but think that some people bring it all on themselves.
