Drama Queen

Do you know a drama queen? There IS a way to deal with her – or him...


Most of us have a high maintenance friend in our circle somewhere – or a drama queen. According to Jonathan Littman, author of “I Hate People!” - they require a LOT more attention – so go ahead and give them some. The more you try to downplay or ignore someone who craves drama – the harder they’ll work to get it. He suggests responding to them the same way you would anyone else – but with about 75% more energy. REALLY? WOW! Some people will keep driving the same point home until they get the reaction they think it deserves. The sooner you give it to them – the sooner they’ll move on or give you an opportunity to change the subject.
