Yep if you meet one you say, I just had a shit and they will then say ohh my god I just had three! The will not wait for you to finish a sentence , as they are waiting to jump in with something that's all about MOI before you can draw breath. the go for the same kinds of people all the time, they actually seek out people that will give them what they need, drama! I am having a bit of drama myself at the moment, someone must have been kind enough to give a nut job my number and last night, they decided was a good time to text, and call me a slut and that my husband was a soft cock yada yada but the part that really hurt...they said I was a crap artist! ( hand to head now in distress) some people have no taste! and can that dick who gave my number out to some woman nut job, please stop playing the class clown, big shoes belie the fact you have a small cock. If I had a rabbit I would be worried about it at the moment. now as I am the drama queen , Lights action ready for my close up Mr Demill....

Drama addicted behavior usually indicates an immature personality, but that’s because they learned to feel invisible and unimportant. The sad part is that if their behavior were not such a turnoff, there would be plenty of reason to have compassion for them, which ironicallyis what they really need to heal their wounds and move one. What do you do when one crosses your path? The easy answer is, nothing. But it is a conscious, deliberate and strategic nothing that nets the most impact. Each drama person must decide for him or herself to embark on a road of self-awareness and growth.

Sense of self-importance causes the drama queen syndrome, I've found. It usually comes in the workplace with a firm belief that they're indispensable, and that the world will wobble off axis and hurtle into the Sun if they weren't there! If you reply to the latest crisis told to you by the drama queen with a 'that's nice' or 'how interesting' they'll generally go and find someone else to horrify with their issues. I only have a few business rules: 1. Nothing is a drama. 2. Nothing is urgent. 3. Nothing can't be solved. - Posted from rhpmobile

Some how even by posting this mees know Im seeking attention. But we all love a little bit of drama drawn to ourselves. When mixing with drama queen friends always ensure adequate time is spent on each other. Otherwise your just an effing Drama Queen

I have a low drama threshold but I find I don't attract that sort of person....thankfully. I don't hold onto other people's shit so I don't allow it to affect me. Mostly I am not even listening anyway, lol.

Geez, some people just have to make it all about themselves... Me? I stay clear like you do. I agree they're toxic especially at work where you can be dragged down with them if you're not careful. Here on the forums I just avoid their posts.

My ex was a hypochondriac when it came to his health. He was always going to the doctor, and even the hospital, as any minor ailment was always a major drama. He had a headache - it was a brain tumour! That kind of drama. I was sympathetic at first but quickly got over it. The funniest thing was when he was at work one night and called the ambulance for himself as he was having chest pains. Turns out he had indigestion. (That'll teach him for eating that sandwich too fast!) I think he enjoyed the attention / sympathy but I had no time for his drama in the end. Enough was enough.

Most usually after prolonged trauma, the problem is the inability of the body to return to a normal state of awareness after it has become used to being hyper-vigiliant as a survival strategy.

Quoting 'Meeka100'So, how do you recognise these types of people and how do you handle them? Have you ever been stuck in a relationship with a drama creator and not realised it until it was too late? I'm really not a fan of drama or conflict at all. I can't remember the last time I yelled and I cry without a sound. I tend to snap instead, then be annoyed with myself. I work with many clients with very dramatic behaviour and learned early on not to mirror it, but focus on the positive behaviours instead.With my clients I find it easy, but when it comes to people in my private life (where my expectations are different) I have no patience for drama whatsoever. To me drama means needing to exaggerate everything, from events to emotions. Have a headache? It's a tumour. Broke a nail? My life is ruined! Get some feedback? Nobody likes meeeee!!! Those types. At the first sign I think "Nope", and either ask" "Ehhh... what are you doing?" or excuse myself and leave. Ain't nobody got time for that.

Im fine with people who gain some enjoyment from drama. Life can be full of it. For some its a challenge to battle through it, others seem to enjoy it. But if I meet someone who manufactures it for the sake of it..... Im gone. DG

... on the individual and circumstances (be it friend, family or colleague etc.) as to how I deal with it. I'll give them the benefit of doubt initially but I have no problems bringing it to their attention when need be. More often than not, they're just not aware of it and are generally appreciative - eventually, when the dust settles.

I like top think I float cooly and steadily through what ever drama erupts around me like an iceberg through stormy seas. On the other hand I often develop drama's in my head (using meekas profile photos as inspiration) around the thoughts of meeka with a strap-on

It's usually not recognised by the sufferer and they do need to take that step to recognise it. And deal with it. To find new ways of dealing with old problems. Unfortunately, I think they can end up in a cycle of putting themselves in situations and associating with the wrong people. . I've long thought many forumites have something of an addiction to drama and that's part of the addiction to the forums for many. The place remnds me of a drama, and I do love a good drama on movie night. And I've realised I have a dramatic bent myself. Reading the article I referred to in my earlier post was enlightening, but it's all still only a part of the whole... people so like to lable and box things.

We have a lady at work, if you have an illness regardless how obscure, she somehow has a disease more obscure. Her property is bigger than yours, she gets things better than you and bigger than you. She has recently divorced, guess what? She has found a well-to-do 28 year old who owns three BMWs, is loaded and treats her to expensive weekends away, and they're shagging like rabbits. She has lost more weight than anyone else recently as well. The sad part is people at work are avoiding her now. They leave the table when she arrives and despite friendly advice regarding her behaviour and changing it, the drama still continues. Mary xx

Mary, do you think it's all the truth? That isn't a drama... That's a LURVE story. ;-)

"Addiction to Drama can be a PTSD symptom" is the heading of the article. It's by Suzanne Grosser. . One of the paragraphs says. "Most commonly this happens after a prolonged trauma: a stint in a POW camp, marriage to an abusive partner, being stalked, or serving in a war zone. All traumas flood the body with stress hormones. These types of ongoing traumas, provide a steady flood of these energizing chemicals for a prolonged period of time. You become hyper-vigilant." . Hyper-vigilance is a well recognised symptom of Forgotten Australians and children who have been abused in a possible variety of ways over a period of time. So this article resonated with me, from the few articles about addiction to drama on offer online.

Thanks MrsP I came across this behaviour recently, and I at first was puzzled why this person continually did the same thing even though they knew what drama it would create.... then it suddenly hit me. This person is addicted to the drama and having all the attention on themselves. As I said I love a good drama, but I don't understand why someone would manufacture scenarios just to create drama for themselves and focus attention on themselves. Seems like any attention is preferable, whether bad or good, to no attention at all.

I think that's far too much of a simplification Meeka. . I know that's not how it is for me at least as far as any potential to 'addiction to drama' goes.. Lol, and I know this thread is not about me, but I really can't relate to your topic as far as having friends with an addiction to drama, aside from the forums.
