Michael, sarcasm ... and to think I used to walk to school, uphill both ways in the snow with newspapers in my boots to keep warm. We all need to stop giving unhappy people permission to try to make us unhappy.
The drama addicts are often on the spectrum. Not autism. But sociopathy. Sociopaths don’t have a range of feelings. They feel tension. Negative tension or positive tension. All they feel is tension. NOT feeling tension is death to them. When not tense they feel empty and flat. So they keep drama going rather than ‘die’. This is not black and white. This like all things is on a spectrum. Some might feel some real emotions in some limited ways. But not much, and often not at all. The odd one is fully incapable of actually feeling. But thankfully they are rare. There are many who are on the spectrum though. Our society is growing them as we encourage narcissism and the two, sociopathy and narcissism, are closely related.
