    Elaborate on the term drama please


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 776 ✭✭✭Jafin


    Nope, never any drama in my life. Sometimes I wish there was a small bit so I'd feel like I was more interesting.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,148 ✭✭✭Smee_Again


    None.

    Life has thrown me some tribulations that I’ve had to deal with but I wouldn’t consider that drama.

    As far as I’m concerned drama is usually contrived and avoidable.

    I have an ex that always had to have some drama or other going on. It was tiring after a while.

    Is Drama just not a personality type..


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,593 ✭✭✭theteal


    Mine, nope, very little, nappies and sleep deprivation.

    My wifes/in-laws on the other hand, I could probably write a book and people would assume it's fiction.

    Not as much as there was a few years ago thankfully, but I have a sister who seems to thrive on it. Arguing with her when she'd kick off would only escalate it, so now we just nod and roll our eyes-otherwise it would be 6 months of hostility and no talking. Mind you, when we do occasionally talk her down we get some snide remarks thrown in our faces about it further down the road.

    Nope, none. Ive no close family, my wife refuses to allow one of her sisters , a brother and sister in law in the house over drama.
    Everything has happened with them over the years , Gardai being called , ambulances being called , employment being left for no reason , doctors asking one them not to come to the surgery ever again , neighbours getting wound up over their kids , weddings being fcuked up , holidays fcuked up.

    No, I prefer to just get on with things and leave the drama for the over-excitable and the drama queens.

    Placid is the word I'd use to describe my life. Problems come and go but they're dealt with without histrionics.

    The only drama queen (king?) in my house is the toddler. When Baby Shark is silenced the resulting theatrics leave the dying swan in the shade.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,191 ✭✭✭screamer


    No, don’t have time for any of that BS. Deliberately avoid drama queens too, and gossip, and just get on with my own life.

    Oh my god, NO! There's NO drama in my life! I would HATE that! My life is AMAZING! :eek:

    I am your brother ??? As that sounds exactly like my Sister..How her family put up with her I'll never know.
    Threw a (hungover) wobbler at me last Sunday as I called at 13.20 not 14.00 to collect a dinner for my Father, it was his birthday.
    I said it's ok I can buy him one, another onslaught.
    Her son dropped it down later on when it was eventually ready.
    I was cool but inside I was seething !!

    I have no drama, I don't want no drama, as previous poster says it does make life boring but Feck that !!

    Got rid of people who love drama in their lives a long time ago, even keep certain family members at arms length for my own sanity.

    I greatly dislike drama and will drop you like a stone if you are a drama queen.

    Adopt a similar philosophy, if someone starts to drain my lifeforce with histrionics of their own creation then they are swiftly cast aside. Zero sympathy for those with self-destructive tendencies, Life is complicated enough without shouldering petty nuisances. Similarly, it's goodbye to narcissistic bores who cannot admit to any wrongdoings or acknowledge concessions on my part. Respect is a two-way street, it must be earned not entitled.

    None and i like it that way. People who seem to attract drama secretly love the chaos and confusion for reasons ill never understand but having drama in your life is a choice.

    I think much of it is likely subconscious, but yes, much seems invited.

    I know someone who was a magnet for drama - huge ordeals springing from nothing. Challenges that everyone faces becoming major struggles. I felt bad for her a lot of the time because, to a degree, it wasn't her fault she didn't have coping skills, but it could also be insufferable - and really just required a big cup of cop-on. And then she moved away because her husband couldn't leave his home, which can be hard for anyone, so it was extra difficult for her - but... I guess the realisation dawned on her that she just had to get on with it, and then she became a mother, which totally grounded her, and she's a different person now. Respect, in fairness.

    No drama...

    I learned a long time ago to filter drama, out and away from life, specifically the kind of people who are let’s say, catalysts for that drama.
