drama queen

what is a nice way of saying the world doesn’t revolve around you and stop being such a drama queen?

Answer #1

People who always focus on themselves often feel like nobody listens to them, and they’re overcompensating. If you want the drama to stop, be a little sneaky… but its manipulative, so beware!

When the drama queen is talking, ONLY respond/react to things that are NOT self-centered or that revolve around drama. You can say “Mhmm” but that’s it. When the talk about ANYTHING else, and I mean anything, reward it by being really into the conversation. Talk with a smile, and ask questions about whatever they just mentioned (like the weather). If they go back to talking about themselves, DO NOT REACT. A negative response is still a response.

Will this work the first time? Maybe, but after a few days of this, she will be conditioned to act in such a way that gets her a reward. The reward is, of course, your attention and enthusiasm. The bad behavior (being self centered and dramatic) will soon be extinguished.

Saying “you’re a loser” is still a reaction, and will encourage the bad behavior.

Let me know if it works!
