the dramatic

...is one who apes a tragedy in simple or complex matters of life. Minor situations or feelings are turned into great situations and powerful feelings with elephantine consequences. Often the Dramatic is calling for attention or help. On the other hand, it may be that those who act in such ways do so because of their social position - that they need to be recognized in a different way, etc. "look at me, for I am this and this!"
Nevertheless, it drives me mad like a cow and I prefer to surround myself with those who are calm and cool, so that the drama souls, however exciting and interesting, need not weigh me down constantly and always.

As you go through life you begin to weed out the people who are a burden to your life. You recognize the qualities that are good for you and the qualities which are taxing.
But this is just a phase, so perhaps I will think differently tomorrow.
