Drama Queen
drama Queen?
I have a frind that is nothing but the drama queen. every time my friends and I disagree with her she gets mad and says she is not our friend any more, but she always come s back and says sorry a day later! should we keep foregiving her and keep being friends with her?
Get rid of her! Drama queens tend to be so dramatic. They want all the special attention. They want to be seen, recognized, the careless about others. They only care about themselves…eventhough they pretend to care about you…among other things! Better for you and your friends to be together, and let her be in her own world. Get rid of her.
Drama Queen
The Drama Queen (Or King) At Work
Everyone knows who this is. This is the…
‘Why does the boss pick on me?’, ‘why am I always first?’, ‘why did he/she say that to me?’, ‘why was I centered out?’, ‘blah, blah, blah why me?’, ‘blah, blah, blah poor me’, ‘I’m better than everyone else, so why me?’ crier of the team.
Nothing is ever this person’s fault. Everyone should do everything their way. They speak without thinking and expect to be known as the guru of whatever subject is at hand. They wonder why they get ‘called out’ when they speak without filtering what they are saying. They interrupt, are abrupt, don’t know when to stop asking questions and provide commentary on every single point of a presentation, especially if they do not appreciate the presenter. They call their peers to re-hash every meeting, focused on any comments made by ‘the boss’…because those comments were all directed at the Drama Queen (or King), of course!
So what do you do about this person? How do you handle them? Does ignoring them really work, or does it leave you ready to vent to your peers?! What are they thinking? Can you get inside their mind and understand why all the drama is required? Is this co-worker a narcissistic histrionic – everything is always about them to the maximum degree? Is there hope for an histrionic?
Perhaps. Let’s start slowly. It does not serve anyone well to get upset, irritated or yell at the Drama Queen (or King). You would only be enabling the ‘Drama-Queen (or King)-ness’. You would need to start by trying to understand. Perhaps, and most likely, this individual is insecure, has low self-esteem and needs constant validation. The Drama Queen (or King) is really looking for you to make them –and keep them- the center of attention. They are looking for you to validate their view of the negativity so they can continue to be in the drama.
Try this.
- Ask the Drama Queen (or King) to put themselves in the other person’s shoes and ask them how they would handle the situation.
- Ask the Drama Queen (or King) to consider the context of the comment that was directed at them. For example, if the topic is low sales and their region has the lowest sales, would the comments be valid.
- Ask the Drama Queen (or King) to reverse positions with you and hear what is being said from your shoes.
- Ask the Drama Queen (or King) about the obvious – for example, they are region 1 so they will always be first in the discussion of results. If you are brave, suggest that the Drama Queen (or King) as the meeting facilitator to start from a different direction.
- Play back to the Drama Queen (or King) in exact words and tone what they have just said to you. Ask them to respond to this. It could be that they do not realize that they are always in Drama Queen (or King) –mode.
And last, but not least, humor may actually help diffuse some of the pent up emotion and quell some of the jitters, allowing the Drama Queen (or King) to see their own reflection in the mirror and correct their own behavior. Validating their Drama Queen (or King) behavior only enables them to continue. For the sake of, at the very least, the business, be honest with them and help them to resolve their issue.
Each Drama Queen (or King) is different, so handle with care. Don’t forget to look in the mirror for the latent Drama Queen (or King) within each of us.

How do you tame a 3 year old drama queen?
I have a 3 year old daughter and she is already a drama queen. She will do anything just to see my reaction. Then when I react to the fact that she does everything I tell her not to she FREAKS out. She is like a 16 year old trapped in a toddlers body. What is funny is that when I tell her to do something naughty she wont do it.
Hi, I also have a 3 year old drama queen…a boy!! He is just like yours. Like others have said, I only let him have food that doesn.t contain numbers & since cutting out fizzy drinks he has become a lot better. I think it’s just growing up though, they will push it as far as they possibly can until they get the huge reactions they’re looking for!! Try to change the subject before she gets too far. My son started school last September & although he got bettter at things like bedtime, he also tarted copying the other little brats in his class!! Good Luck to you x x

Promised Land [CD-ROM] Queensryche’s follow-up to the double-platinum Empire is something of an acquired taste, but it’s well worth the effort. There’s considerable variety here; the heavy progressive-rock of “I Am I” and the ballad “Bridge” were hit singles, but there’s also the funk-inflected “Disconnected”, the edgy, spooky “Lady Jane”, and the piano-and-vocals “Someone Else?”. The title track is probably the stronge… |
