    Drama seems to find me, especially when I'm not looking for it! I'm but a simple creature, and don't like complications!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 12,806 ✭✭✭✭KeithM89_old


    As in Johnny Drama?? He seems cool...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,990 ✭✭✭longshanks


    Drama is my favourite part of Entourage


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,801 ✭✭✭✭Kojak


    I thought this was going to be about drama as in a theatre or something like that.

    Another misleading title. :mad:

    I prefer Hamlet myself, tbh....

    I troll IRL TBH. I will make inflammatory statements about things fight for a little bit and when the person is getting angry and irrational I start calmly going through my points and tell them to relax. It's an effective means of interactive entertainment! :)

    I try to be laid back, but I still end up getting myself into some sort of mess. Generally alcohol related.

    If I wasnt laid back I'd say its very



    Thanks from people who started roling their shoulders to the rythem :cool::pac:

    yeah, ditto, no patience for it


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,566 ✭✭✭Funglegunk


    I'm so laid back in gets me in trouble, does that count as drama?


  • Posts: 17,378 ✭✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    Not anymore... I can't remember the last night I've been annoyed at someone in a social situation. Life is easier without complications.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 13,130 ✭✭✭✭Kiera


    Not anymore, the quiet side of life is where i'm at now and its a very happy place :)


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 34,567 ✭✭✭✭Biggins


    Invite drama? Hell no - totally avoid it when possible, not worth the hassle.
    If I have to deal with it head on though, I do and don't mess about when doing so.
    Sometimes half-measures are just not enough.

    I find it absolutely fúcking repulsive.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 22,058 ✭✭✭✭Abi

    ^This.


    And I avoid people who create it like the plague. I'm probably gonna get my ass whooped for this, but that means avoiding most of the female species. There are a sensible few that I know, that will mention an issue once or twice and get on with things. Constant droning on about a (likely) non-issue melts my face off.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 21,191 ✭✭✭✭Latchy


    Avoid it at all costs although I'm quite content to watch from a distance while others tangle themselfs up in it until I get bored or loose interest which is usually pretty quick .

    If I want drama I'll watch Emmerdale Farm :pac:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,587 ✭✭✭Pace2008


    I detest it and do my utmost to avoid it at all costs. Nothing disgusts me more than relatively well-to-do adults with no tangible problems who go out of their way to create them, like they're on a set for The Hills or something.

    **** off, you're not in secondary school any more.

    The show about a bunch of farmers shagging each other? I think you're taking this drama-avoidance thing a bit too far.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 25,775 ✭✭✭✭kfallon


    No drama with me, boring but very happy! :D


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,208 ✭✭✭coco_lola


    Im quite a dramatic person, my life is a series of Hyperboles... But I dont like drama, I like getting my own way and for things to smoothly all the time... So when they don't, that might be when I get dramatic :D

    You should watch Supernanny ,she's good at sorting out tantrums.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,324 ✭✭✭Alter-Ego


    Nope. Drama always seems to find its way to me though.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,547 ✭✭✭Agricola


    Nope, I hate drama. Friend of mine lived in a house full of screaming sisters and fighting parents. Couldnt handle it myself, I used to physically age after visiting that place.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 758 ✭✭✭whydoibother?


    I definitely don't go around looking for drama. I tend to distance myself from people who want it. However I do think I'm fairly independently minded and wouldn't take the anything-for-a-quiet-life approach either. I basically do whatever I like as long as I'm not harming anyone else, even if I'm getting "hints" that I should behave differently. People who are overly familiar can feel entitled to tell you what to do. I'm not very obedient. But if someone takes issue with me over something that doesn't concern them, I don't engage with the conflict, I just distance myself from them.

    Some people are never happy unless they have some trivial problem to moan about.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 27,252 ✭✭✭✭stovelid


    Some people seem to be permanently surrounded by interpersonal drama - on boards and in real life.

    And I avoid them.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 21,448 ✭✭✭✭Cupcake_Crisis


    I don't think.i do.... Im quite laid back.....and by laid back Im too lazy to be dealing with drama


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,105 ✭✭✭beano345


    no and not to fond of people that invite it,life is stressful enough at times.a friend of a friend who used to drink with us sometimes needed constant drama always starting/getting into fights.i would'nt mind but he was built like a chipstick


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,033 ✭✭✭✭Richard Hillman


    No i dont invite it and i dont get it. People that are constantly in some sort of emotional tug of war or one-up-manship do invite it and dont realise it themselves. The type of people that blame everyone else for their problems. I have a simple approach to life as i dont care about anybody else's problems apart from my own and i dont create problems so i am dispute free.

    As in playing out their lifes on Boards, as if people really give a shyte one way or the other . ( not to be confused with people who really care without all the drama and attention seeking it brings )

    Most commonly found in 'chat' threads. Jesus, get a twitter account already.

    I like to post enigmatic comments on facebook to make people wonder about my frail mental state.

    I really get off on making people think I'm on the verge of capping myself.

    e.g. "Why is it so difficult sometimes :(. I'm not sure how much more of this I can take..."

    Dear Drama,

    You are cordially invited to my general whereabouts.

    Sincerely,

    KP.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,198 ✭✭✭strokemyclover


    I happen to be related to drama on multiple fronts and, unfortunately, have had to put them in their place when it comes up (and it does come up often).

    It hurts not being able to help those you are related to the way they need/or you would like. But you also have to consider your own sanity when dealing with the insanity of others regardless of your relationship.
