1.
3.
the art dealing with the writing and production of plays.
That is the definition of "drama" that I have always known and understood. I have performed in numerous theatrical performances, and even took a "Playscript Analysis" course in college (I do not recommend that by the way). And while I have been immersed in the world of drama for a good portion of my life, I have been shocked to discover that I have recently been thrust into a seemingly alternate reality...the other world of drama.
Drama
[drah-muh, dram-uh]
–noun
A way of relating to the world in which a person consistently overreacts to or greatly exaggerates the importance of benign events.
Typically "drama" is used by people who are chronically bored or those who seek attention.
People who engage in "drama" will usually attempt to drag other people into their dramatic state, as a way of gaining attention or making their own lives more exciting.
Common warning signs/ risk factors of drama or a dramatic person are:
1. Having one supposedly serious problem after another.
2. Constantly telling other people about one's problems.
3. Extreme emotionality or frequently shifting, intense emotions.
4. Claiming to have experienced negative events that are highly implausible.
5. A boring job or mundane life.
6. Making claims without sufficient evidence or a lack of detail about supposedly serious events.
7. A pattern of irrational behavior and reactions to everyday problems.
