Dealing With the Drama Diva - Wellbeing Wisdom Tiny Bites Podcast

Do you live or work with someone whose life is continually filled with drama? They’re always at odds with a co-worker or a friend or current events – there’s always something they’re complaining about. Often their stories paint themselves as the victim, or the caring person who’s continually taken advantage of.

They tell you their tales of woe, expecting sympathy from you and rejecting anything that sounds like problem-solving assistance. It’s exhausting, isn’t it?

People who revel in drama often are rudderless – they don’t know where they’re going in life, they have no goals they’re working towards, and so they just bob along, observing the world around them and getting attention by continuously complaining.

Can you help them? Probably not, though you can try one thing: every time they come to you with a complaint, listen without speaking until they stop or ask you a question. Then you ask, “and what is your solution to this problem?" That’s all – nothing else.

Ask that every time, and they’ll either stop complaining to you or maybe – just maybe – they’ll learn to create their own solutions.
