Walking Away From Drama
There are people and things in this world that are extremely important and then there are people and things that aren’t. Unfortunately, distinguishing between the two can sometimes be a bit ambiguous and difficult. As a result, sometimes time and energy is wasted on irrelevant people and trivial things that in time won’t even matter anymore. The world is full of them…the fake, the haters, the unreliable, the inconsiderate, the unappreciative, and the list goes on. They are everywhere spreading their ‘trash’. There is no way to escape interactions with them. So then how do we deal?
If you come at these negative people with more negativity, it’s a sure fire way to perpetuate the negativity. I see this happen way too often and it really gets under my skin. If you really don’t care about someone and have moved on from something that they have done to you, you don’t need to corroborate it with words…it will be very apparent through your actions. You don’t need to put them on blast on social networks or anything else like that—it’s childish and has the opposite intended message. It’s not your job or responsibility to “make them pay” or teach them a lesson. When you set out to hurt people, most times you end up hurting yourself more or just looking childish like I said before. You also cannot teach anyone anything that they don’t want to learn.
Often times, dramatic people will target people who they think will help feed their need for drama. They enjoy being mad, complaining and arguing but would like you to think otherwise with their bogus claims of hating drama and having a low tolerance for people with the same negative characteristics they possess. People like that are just unhappy with themselves and try to spread the unhappiness to in some twisted way deal with their own feelings of inadequacies.
My suggestion is to just be the bigger person. It may seem like the better choice at the time would be to lash out and let your anger get the best of you but that is temporary. With that, in the end you are left with nothing. When you walk away, you leave foolishness right where you found it and your precious time and energy can be redirected to bigger and better things.

01.4.10 on 5:44 pmThat is the truth because people do things just to get you heated and to see a reaction from you and you trying to get back is not making you any better than the other person. Stooping to another person level is making you the same trash they are. As a the great Nicolas Boileau said “A fool always finds a bigger fool to admire him”
01.4.10 on 8:08 pmThanks so much for posting this, It was much needed, It’s time to let go and move on. And like you said, some people just look for drama and stuff to say, to me I feel that drama is a disease, the more it festers on you, the more you lose everything that you might was looking forward to, drama free is the way to be…lol. Live your life and don’t worry about anyone else.
01.4.10 on 9:21 pmThis is the truth!!!! It’s just all about people being the bigger person and just walking away or letting go of the situation. Life goes on=]
01.4.10 on 9:41 pmWalking away is always the best way to get rid of drama. When you realize that a person only wants to bring drama and keep mess going, that is when it is time to let them go. I found myself around a few people that were all about THE DRAMA and I just had to stop being around them. I say all they want to do is spit their venom on everyone, cause problems, and make people hate others. Thanks for this post.

@clarebear_xox
Thank you so much for posting this. I’m going through some issues with a friend and I wasn’t really sure how to approach the situation. After reading this I now know that what I have to do is be the bigger person. Thanks again<3
01.6.10 on 4:24 amwow the author of who wrote this i think it said shannon wow…really hit the nail with this one! so true..drama isn’t even necessary…a lot of people amount to it to make themselves feel better..and by having other people in on it..they do it to all make that one person feel better..in reality it makes everything worse…this really spoke to me..preachhhh
01.6.10 on 11:49 amWalking away is a good choice. i release mine through boxing. In my anger management I learned that everything comes with a price, whether you pay now or later. . .you’re going to pay.
01.7.10 on 1:03 amThat’s right!! I am a senior in high school and for all people who completed this stage in life know that ALL the DRAMA is in those 4 years. Pettiness, stupidity, jealousy…the whole 9. Life would be much simpler if people would just keep the negative energy to themselves!
01.7.10 on 10:18 amOk so who could have put this in better words. These are true words of wisdom.
01.7.10 on 9:30 pmLove it! Keep on preaching! SO many people need to hear and read this.
01.8.10 on 9:07 pmYou’re so right! I’ve been tryin’ to do that since last year and life is more pleasant like that =D
(Re-listened “Ready” this morning and thanks, it really helps goin’ through all this studying!)
01.11.10 on 10:34 amThis is soooooo true. God does not sleep and he will protect u from all evil actions taken against you. U have to rise above such dramatic reactions in order to gain success in life. That energy wasted on drama will never be gained for your success. Stay humble and true and your reward shall be great.
01.11.10 on 11:11 amMy preacher once said to remove negativity out of your life you must always be aware of your surroundings. Be prepared to make changes.
01.12.10 on 8:04 pmpractice what you preach
01.14.10 on 8:20 amYeah i say the same I was once a person who taliked about people and hated people and tried to say in things, well I had the experiance to happen back to me. after that and as I saw how you feel afterwards its hurtful and its dumb thats why 2010 got here I became the most nice, but not to nice person
01.21.10 on 10:18 pmIt is remarkable, very valuable phrase
