Do you have friends that are exciting but dramatic?

I can understand what you are saying. Sometimes the dramatic people are the braggers. Sometimes the bragging is what is being dramatic. I have a friend who can pretty much be all of those things who described. I have learned how to deal with it, and still be friends so that it doesn't negatively affect me. Thanks for you response.

This is so true. I have learned to think what I say before I say it. It helps tremendously. I will sometimes not say anything at all because I feel that is best. Other times I will say something positive. Then there are times that I just talk as a good friend. I try not to be negative or nosy.

That is understandable. Everyone gets in a mood occasionally. I can be moody. I try not to be dramatic though. When I am moody I try and keep to myself. I know how peoples actions and moods can affect others in a negative way.

I completely understand what you are saying about people. I have a friend who used to share things, make everyone worried, and never answer anyone. It was like she was attention seeking. Her status updates would be very dramatic and then she wouldn't answer anyone when they commented or questioned. She did not tell anyone to mind there own business but she did ignore them. I have to admit, I think she is getting better about it. I think she may be trying to work on herself and become a better person. I agree that if you don't want people to know then don't post it on facebook or a social networking site for everyone to see. I don't have any facebook friends that will ask to borrow money. I do however know some that will complain and brag about money at the same time. It's odd and I don't know how to exactly explain it. I do my best to ignore it and not comment. I understand your feeling of not being able to delete them. I have one friend who I have thought about blocking, and for a very short amount of time I did but unblocked her. We have gotten better friends, or at least I think we have. I think it is largely due to the fact that she is not as dramatic as she once was. She is more mature, honest, less dramatic, and a better friend now. There are still slip-ups and I get annoyed. At times I feel like "oh gosh here we go again" but at least it is getting better. It had gotten so bad at one point that I thought I really was going to have to ex-friend her because it was causing me drama in my life, and negative thoughts...plus it was just not worth it. I can understand you unsubscribing, I have done that with a few things. I am at the point now that I can subscribe to everything with this friend so I am happy about that. Just hope things stay the same way. There are still occasionally times when I feel like she is attention seeking and ignoring me at the same time..but at least she is getting better about it. Or maybe I am getting better about how to handle it. I have noticed not to give in. I think one of the best things we can do to deal with drama is to ignore it. I notice when I ignore the drama and don't comment, email, or ask any questions...it doesn't affect me. Also, it seems like the person causing the drama starts to learn how she is not going to fall for this. Thanks for your response. Have a nice day.

She sounds very sensitive. I don't know if I would call that dramatic but maybe she is. Sometimes dramatic people can be hard to deal with. I can understand being sensitive, as I can be sometimes.

Great reasoning. Yeah it is a great platform for drama, I ignore it to the best of my ability. I have learned that the more I ignore drama the better. When I ignore it, it doesn't affect me. When I get involved it causes drama in my life, negative thoughts, and stress. So I like to ignore it and people will learn that I don't deal with drama or stress unless it is understandable. For instance, it may seem like someone is causing drama but not. Those times I might speak up and comment or say something to help the person out. Other times when it is clearly dramatic people being attention seekers, I ignore it. Sometimes it is hard to differentiate if people just need a listening ear, or are being dramatic. Most of the time I can tell by people, their personality, and what they are saying. I will either be positive or ignore. I have a friend who I used to comment all the time, and ask questions when she would update her status dramatically. Now I don't do that, and I feel much better in general and about our friendship. She would ignore my comments and make me feel stressed out. There would be times she would make comments to bring me down. She has gotten better about it, but I keep my distance.
