Addicted to drama
Why is it that some people love drama. I mean, there are those that will actively seek conflict whenever they see the opportunity. Yet they will whine and complain about how things are unfair and how they are the poor victims.
With a sympathetic look and a nod of my head I say, "Yes, I know, it's not fair, but you just have to stop thinking about it. Don't stress too much. Don't let it get to you."
While I'd prefer to say, "You need to take responsibility for your own actions because you are in exactly the position you put yourself." It's just not possible - some people crave drama and until they learn to break free from the compulsion for theatrics they will never understand that statement as helpful advice, but rather, interpret it as aggressive . Plus, if I were to say that I would be given a very strange look and never be spoken to again.
What can you do? Social interaction can be so complicated. I'm glad my interpersonal skills aren't too dismal.
