Trina Hall Lifting You Up Higher and Higher
Drama. Does drama always seem to seep its way into your life? You do not like drama. You try to stay away from it at all cost. You feel you do not create it, yet you are dealing with drama constantly. It can be caused by your family members or friends. Do you find that when you are with them, some things get blown out of proportion or into a big deal for no justified reason? Does your peacefulness get turned upside down after only a few moments or hours with them? Very often you work with these types of people, so it can be difficult to remove yourself from them. I understand. I have worked with several of these drama lovers. These were not self-sabotaging drama lovers, these were people only out for their own best interest. It can be difficult to do your job or live your life peacefully when the people around you love creating chaos and fabricating stories for attention, to avoid accountability and for their sad source of fun.
Or maybe you are the one that is creating the drama unknowingly. You have a tendency to self-sabotage your life. When things are calm and peaceful, you find it boring. You are unfamiliar with it so you create some sort of argument, story or drama to spice things up. Way back in high school, I would do this. I had the most perfect, loving boyfriend, yet I would break up with him constantly. It was sad, but I was more familiar and felt more comfortable with the turmoil, than a peaceful loving relationship. I found it boring and “too good to be true”. It took a few years to rectify this self-sabotaging behavior. I have since grown, but sadly many people continue this “high school type” drama mentality well into their adulthood and never change.
DETACH YOURSELF FROM THE DRAMA LOVERS
If you do not want drama in your life, it is important to detach yourself from these types of people. If you are not able to detach yourself physically, then detach yourself emotionally. Refuse to allow anyone to drag you down or suck you into their drama. You putting any energy towards this, adds more fuel and momentum to it.
DRAMA IS OFTEN CREATED BY FEAR
Many people are fearful of losing someone or that things may go wrong. They create thoughts and problems that do not even exists and are solely based on their biggest fears. This very often is triggered by past experiences. Drama may be all that they have ever known and may be fearful of change.
PEOPLE WHO CREATE DRAMA ARE UNABLE TO DEAL WITH TRUTH
They like to make a big deal out of things to fulfill their need for attention. They like to fabricate stories and stretch the truth. They do this to feel important and so people will listen to them. Or they use drama as a decoy to avoid dealing with the real problem. But in the end, it is all based on lies. It is difficult to get them to see reality. They are so caught up in their stories that it becomes impossible for them to see the truth.
If you are like me, you want nothing to do with the unnecessary stress of drama or the people who create it. You would much rather deal with real and authentic people. Ones that speak the truth and from the heart. Ones that like to have peace and harmony.
