Drama Junkies...........

You know who they are.  The ones who have to stir up trouble everywhere they go.  The ones who divide a unified group to the point where false allegations and exaggerations fly like the wind.  The ones who need to be the center of attention every second of every minute of every hour of everyday. Like the emotional and spiritual vampires, these junkies can drain you of your life force; leaving you an emotional wreck; pleading for death to come quickly. 

They are quick to point the finger of blame to everyone else..."it's not my fault, it's......she/he’s out to get me……." The stories they weave should be best selling fiction novels with themselves as the victim. They turn one sentence into a whole story of  hurt and betrayal against them. And the more attention you give them, the more they're likely to keep coming back to you.  When you confront them with their behavior, they will deny it, but then come to you hourly to seek your approval.

Oh you can try and leave them to their own devices.....but the havoc they wreak is a thousand times worse than any natural disaster on the planet.  Truthfully, I'd rather have my gums scraped than deal with those people!!!!

But unfortunately, we must face them in our daily lives...no matter how hard we try to divorce oursleves from them.      So how do we deal with these drama junkies when they need their drama fix?

NOTHING.

Excuse me, What did you say????  

I SAID....... DO N-O-T-H-I-N-G

If we are to help these junkies detox from their drama...we do NOTHING.....nothing to feed their habit.  We let them spout off their jibberish and say.......NOTHING...don't react, don't respond, DO NOT DO A THING. When they try to bring you in on their drama,  you politely tell them you cannot be bothered as you have your own problems that need your undivided attention and go along your way.

Understand, the first time you attempt to undertake this treatment, it may or may not succeed. JUST KEEP DOING WHAT YOU ARE DOING.......NOTHING.Eventually, they will re-learn a new behavior  and their need for drama will have all but died.

Now some may say, I've just fed their drama habit. Have I?

Enjoy your day!
