A Drama Queen

A drama queen is an overly dramatic person. Someone who turns something unimportant into a major deal. Someone who blows things way out of proportion when ever the chance is given. Or a girl who boo hoo's and ba ha's about all the shit in her life that's going on claiming "Too much drama" but in reality brings it all on herself.

Have you ever noticed how some people just seem to have so much drama in their lives? Or are you such as a drama queen?

Here are the reasons why a person may create so much drama in their life:

1. Boredom --- This is probably one of the main reasons why drama queens behave the way they do – they are simply bored! Creating drama and a scene makes them feel that something interesting is going to happen. There may be an underlying insecurity and their drama a distraction, so no one can ever see just how vulnerable and hopeless they feel.

2. Family background --- If the television soap operas and reality shows are anything to go by, most people have really challenging lives with a wide range of family and relationship conflicts, work problems and health issues.

3. Seeking sympathy --- This is a classic trait of a drama queen – just look at poor me! They are often seen looking very sad and down. Their story goes like this – I have had such a bad life, please feel sorry for me.

4. Manipulation of others --- Manipulation and taking advantage of others goes with the seeking of sympathy. “Now that I have got you feeling sorry for me, of course you must rescue me. And I am in so much trouble and pain, you just have to take care of me!”

5. Seeking attention --- Since drama queens usually have low self-esteem and believe that they will not be noticed, complaining about their lot is their best perceived way of getting that attention. Sadly it actually works the other way around – they end up making a negative impression.

6. Wanting to belong --- Along with the seeking of attention comes the desire for a sense of belonging. By behaving in a certain way they seek acceptance by their peer group, without realising that their behaviour actually alienates them. They might be accepted in a group simply because that’s the most bearable option and avoids any histrionics of being rejected.

7. Getting a high --- Finally, some people might even enjoy spreading drama as they get an adrenaline rush. They get their kicks by creating a furore all around them – and they genuinely enjoy it. Who needs drugs, sex and rock & roll when you can be a drama queen?!

Conclusion : Stop it, get bored and find some happiness.

The key thing is this – being a drama queen may be fun, but it’s not a happy place to be in.
