Bam! There you are... Slammed in the middle of three friends
fighting over god only knows what.. They probably don't even know what
their fighting over and are still trying to twist themselves out of the
situation... Or in some cases, some may be making it worse for their own
amusement.
Drama seems to be the new age favorite pastime. For some people it
seems to be their main source of amusement. Those are what we call the "
side-liners ". They are not directly involved, but love to watch the
drama unfold as it is happening. Then we have the people who are
addicted to drama, they eat, breath and sleep drama. These individuals
are what we call " drama-droids ". At any rate, the drama droids main
focus is to start drama with tools like lies, bringing wrong company
together in one place,twisting and stretching reality.
The results of bad drama can be devastating to someones life.
Some toxic results can be vicious rumors, getting beat-up, jail, getting
children taken away... A result of bad drama violence. Your getting the
picture.
Being a victim of drama, I have experienced first hand the
magnatude of the pain it causes. What disgusts me the most is how some
people get off on causing drama to someone... It's almost as if it's a
tree branch of bullying.
I have come up with some ideas and tips that I have found to work
for me and others. The foolproof plan is to steer clear of drama all
together. But in case you have landed yourself in the drama neverland...
Here's some tips and ideas to get yourself out of it. Stop answering
your phone to all involved in the drama. If you can't avoid talking to
them try to change the subject or just play dumb and show no reaction to
their drama talk. The less affected you show by it, the less they will
be wanting to to dish it your way. Don't offer information to anyone in
the drama chain. Avoid talking talking about the he said she said
issues. Don't confide secrets of any kind to a known drama droid, that's
like posting it on Facebook for all to read. Speaking of Facebook, put
all drama droids on your acquaintance list and only to to friends and
not acquaintances. I have found that to be very effective. Don't have
drama droids or drama side-liners at your home, this is a sure way for
drama to get out of control and for the police to possibly be involved.
If out in a public place and a drama situation erupts with your friends,
try to diffuse the situation by leaving with a friend or two. Try not
to play up the drama, the more it's talked about the more it's relived.
if asked questions about knowledge of a drama episode, just say it
wasn't your business so you didn't pay attention.
There have been some drama situations where I have not even
answered my front door because I knew drama was waiting on the other
side. The most effective way I have found to avoid drama is not to
engage in friendships with people involved, because it seems people
involved in drama never change... Does a leopard change it's spots?
