It seems worth pointing out, that a thread against drama is causing more drama. Just in case the people sat at the back can't see that.
Probably also worth noting that the people causing drama are you and L.

I did not cause drama. I said that this was unnecessary and why I think that.
You and L caused drama. Then again that was probably your intention in the first place, wasn't it?

Really? I was considering putting this gem in the GD boards. Every single topic is unnecessary.
I had assumed L would post and he tends to be dramatic, I did momentarily consider keeping it going in order to prove a point but I wasn't sure if people would get it.
This is hardly a serious topic, I love how people are taking it seriously though. Not sure if you noticed, someone told me they hated me. Exciting.
Ah but see, if people don't get the point you get to explain it and add +100 to your ego.
And yes, I noticed that he said that. I am disappointed in him for going so far, not that he'll care.
This topic is a childish keyboard war waiting to happen. The fact that Hatred was mentions implies that it has already started.
I don't think it's a childish keyboard war really.
If it gets people talking, this topic has done it's job. If no one is offended, even more so.
I love you, Dancer. In a totally platonic way. It's a bromance.

People love the idea that their lives some how replicate that of their favorite fictional character or the external perception that they live the life of a mysterious tortured creature who has been through so much, you simply can't understand. There is a part of us that greedily utilizes and exaggerates the trials of our past, trivial or no, as some sort of profile generator to those around us.
One of the most common appearances of this is the forever timeless and clearly reasonable statement, "I have been hurt so much in the past, it is difficult to trust people and let them into my heart".
The usual client for this outlook on life and human interaction seems to be those under the age of 16. Obviously, there has been a cataract of failed three week relationships and "mean" friends which has convinced them that social optimism is simply a shroud from the real and cold world we live in. Having a failed interaction with one person should usually imply the motive to try again.
For everyone else.
It makes no sense to push people away simply because your past experience with some other completely different people have not worked out to your expectations. It would be the equivalent of buying an ice-cream, not really liking that particular flavour and concluding that in order to avoid future disappointment, you will give up on ice-cream all together. Much like ice-cream, interacting and bonding with fellow human beings is the greatest experience available to us as an advanced species.
There are many many other forms of over dramatised psychological self-importance that exist. To name a few,
You will never understand me/no one understands me
I can't believe you would talk about me behind my back
You don't know what I have been through
No one can change me
It is through my personal observation that the people most involved in this bizarre self-medicated phenomenon seem to be fans of Anime. This popular media form is riddled with a ridiculously over dramatic perspective on absolutely everything related to the characters involved. Everyone cries, everyone breaks down under the weight of how important everything is and everyone is drawn to a point of human perfection, this adds to why people desperately try and be associated with them.
Here is an example of my point: Link
Conclusion: Your personality is not an intricately woven tapestry of struggle and strive. Bad things simply happen, its a basic part of life, everyone has them. You are not in a movie. Your actions are not witnessed by an invisible panel of your fictional idols. Complaining about yourself makes you boring. You are not complicated. Things are only as serious as you allow them to be. Stop it.
I'm going against my better judgment here...
Dancer, your own post condemns you as the very thing you seek to eliminate. From what I read, you think that these over-emotional children are exaggerating the bad things in their lives, and placing themselves on a pedestal. Yet, here you are, setting yourself apart as an emotional superman, one capable of shrugging off a three-week bad relationship. You've set yourself apart just like they have.
Also, you don't recognize those that have actually had traumatic events happen to them. Are you grouping a bad relationship with having your deepest secret revealed multiple times? Surely, if someone was lied to by people they trusted, it would create an aversion to trust, as one would associate it with mental distress (read: mental pain).
Yes, bad thing happen. If a parent loses a child, should they just shake it off? If a child loses a parent, should they just get over it?
Everyone is different, and everyone will handle things with their own style, and at their own pace. Making everyone in your own image will not fix things.

I am clearly not denying the fact that bad things happen which people may not be able to shrug off but, my topic is not a generalisation. It is aimed exclusively at those who exaggerate and advertise their problems and drama.
Yes, I can shrug off a three week relationship.
