Everyone gets angry and flips out from time to time, and Lord knows I've done my share – but what boggles my mind is why drama is a major food group for some people.

Each of us knows a person that is constantly angry, and always blowing their top whenever they get the chance. If even the slightest argument begins – they suddenly throw a hissy fit and either scream at the top of their lungs in front of anyone who will listen – or simply walk out. I have known many people like this – and I feel very sorry for them.

I once dated a girl that was like this. More often than not, she was a ball of fire. All we did was argue over the slightest things. It seemed as if she could not live without arguments and fighting. Our fights got so bad that she would walk out on me in public, scream at me in front of friends and family – and even punch holes in my walls. She later admitted to me, after we broke up, that she was fighting with me all the time because she was raised that way and did not know any other way to live – how sad.

I have also had friends that behaved this way – and I am happy to say that they are not my friends now – simply because I did not want to deal with the drama anymore. I have had friends that have walked out on me in meetings, events we were filming, gatherings with friends – and even paid events. I have had friends that have told horrendous lies about me, while being my “friend” to my face – and I have even had so-called friends tell me one thing to my face – while doing another behind my back. In my opinion, these are the kind of friends that I do not want. So, I completely cut them out of my life. I figure if drama is a person’s major food group – then they do not belong in my life.

Even now, I have a friend that is mad at me, but won’t tell me why – instead – this person simply chooses to ignore me and be rude each time I encounter them. All of my friends are insisting that I try and find out why this person is mad at me – but I figure that if they choose to be childish by ignoring me instead of telling me what is wrong – then I don’t want to know. I am the kind of person that will tell someone if I am mad at them, rather than be juvenile about the situation. So if this person does not want to tell me what it is I did that upset them – then I simply choose not to know.

I understand that people get upset from time to time, and that is perfectly normal. But what is not is turning an argument into a stage – and resorting to childish behavior and drama when none is necessary. I have always been a firm believer in communication in any type of relationship. I feel that if you tell someone what is bothering you about them in a nice way – it makes dealing with the problem all that much easier. But yet, some people choose to flip out and/or walk out instead of dealing with the situation appropriately…

…and those are people I don’t want to deal with.
