I've often wondered about people who are always dealing with one crisis or the next. Some of them big, some small, but it always seems that there is never a calm moment. Everything is so dramatic.
Do these people attract the drama or is it just their 'luck'? Does the drama come because of choices they did or did not make?
I've always been one to avoid drama and when it comes creeping my way, I try to sidestep it. Maybe I'm too calm and easy going. Or maybe I'm avoiding some issue but not letting the drama in. Am I missing out on something?
This totally fascinates me. Just yesterday an issue came up with work that I took in stride...was concerned about, addressed the issue and moved on. Yet someone else took that same issue, blew it up into something more, thought about it all day long, was ready to resign and then tells me it was the worst day of their life.
Do people look at me and think I don't care because I don't get upset over certain issues?
I choose not to let the drama in...am I making the right choice? Just wondering out loud.
hey! followed a link over from boho gir's site.
I have a friend who always has drama in her life and while I am not assigning blame in anyway, i can see how her perspectives, actions and choices perpetuate the drama.
just my observation-rarely do I think it's just 'bad luck'
great topic-great observations!

Hmnn...A subject somewhat familiar. You are on the correct course. Overreacting does not mean one cares more. Less stress equals a healthier life. Keep being you and don't doubt yourself.

you're making the right choice! drama = ego.
Be glad you are such a smart cookie and such a sweet chickie! *smile*
