Daytime Dramas...and a few night ones thrown in for added drama.

Why is it that some people’s worlds revolve around drama? Others are so self absorbed that they can’t see beyond their own tunnel vision. Then, there are those who are combinations of both~these are the most challenging individuals with whom to deal.

I have a close friend who is one of these people, he thrives on the drama and makes everything about himself so that people are forced to feel bad for him...until the fog clears and they see the reality of the situation. Don’t get me wrong, my friend is also very funny and sweet and caring. A handful of his friends have just realised that we need to take the good with the bad. Should this be acceptable?Why do we feel the need to tolerate his drama and self-centred behaviour?

Why on earth would someone want drama? Well, it is similar to attention seeking behaviour of a baby or small child. The believe that people will feel sorry for them or people will admire them because they are the first to announce to the entire world that they are sacrificing something to help other people~no one really likes a martyr, do they? I do believe that at different times in our lives, most of us go through this kind of stage~especially as gay individuals i.e. I have had to endure so much suffering because I am gay so please I am begging you to feel sorry for me. Harsh words, I know but I believe it is true for most. Most of us manage to get past that and carve out our own individualities.

This is a very dangerous attitude as after a while, it seems that nothing you will do is actually a sacrifice, it will always seem completely selfish in other people’s eyes. By constantly having issues in ones life, the drama that occurs as a result becomes addictive; thereby craving more and more until one is creating problems himself~simply to continue the drama to which he is addicted.

We may never know why these people really cause these problems, but, in the end they will be forced to deal with it alone, as they will inevitably alienate those around them. Perhaps they will grow out of it, perhaps they will carve their own niches in the world...the only thing we can be sure of, is that time will determine the outcome.
