Dealing with drama and dramatic people is never easy. Drama is everywhere and it can consume our lives. Fortunately, with a little help, hurtful situations can be overcome and you can live above the drama.
Drama. The whispers, giggles, rumors, evil stares - we've seen it all. Sometimes it feels as if life depends on the things we call "drama". It can dictate our lives, emotions and our actions.I've known some pretty cool ladies through my life. A lot of my girl friends I've known since I was little and each one is a blessing in my life. We have lots of fun together and share lots of giggles. I trust them, I careabout them, I enjoy them, but most importantly, the friendship is mutual. Unfortunately, not every relationship with our fellow females turns out to be a BFF. In fact, most of them don't. If you haven't already, although chances are you have, you'll encounter some of those kinds of relationships with girls throughout your life.
Meet the Drama Queens:
The back-stabber: This kind of girl is probably not uncommon to you. Nothing can quite prepare you for the hurt that comes with the betrayed trust and loss of a friend. Claws come out, rumors spread, and sides are taken. Back-stabbers make you believe you can trust them and then turn on you, seemingly ruining your life. They can even turn other friends against you.
The on-again-off-again friend: On-again-off-again friends are tough situations. It's really hard to handle the uncertainty in these friendships. Being in a relationship like this sure can feel lonely and frustrating. Once a friend, they can turn into an enemy practically instantly.
The spotlight: We all know at least one of these. The girl that always has to be the center of attention. Whether it's always one-upping you in whatever you do, or causing problems and needless drama just because she thinks its fun. No doubt, stress levels run high in these situations.
Sometimes it feels like the only solution to these situations is to go home and have a good cry. Honestly, being in these types of relationships with girls can be some of the most hurtful experiences in life. Drama-creators are bullies, and bullying is never okay. But believe it or not, there really are some helpful solutions to deal with the drama queens!
