Am i the only one who thinks that most people are overly dramatic about things? I'm not sure about the best way to explain this but does it seem like people act like most situations are a much bigger deal than they are. Like they read to much into most things, maybe to make their lives more interesting?
Does anyone know what i mean?

I agree that some people just need to make their lives more interesting, but I think it comes out of a basic human need for attention. As kids, we have no qualms about shouting to our parents, "Mom! Dad! Look at me!", and then performing something as innocuous as going down a slide or doing a somersault. They smile and clap (if we're lucky enough to have great parents), and our need is immediately fulfilled!
As adults, however, a cry for attention is frowned upon, and we find ourselves going day to day, just hoping for a little recognition where we can find it.
Kinda sad, huh?

I use to be that way. Long, Long ago.
Everything seemed so dramatic, since I suffer with anxiety, agoraphobia.
It took years for me to relax and not take things so seriously.
Now when I run into people that are Dramatic.
I get a little tickled and think about how miserable they are.
Because they need to relax and go with what life gives us.
Being dramatic only fuel the fire.....

I completely agree. If someone falls and scrapes a knee it becomes EVERYONE'S business...and it spreads into "SOME DUDE FELL AND BROKE HIS NECK! AND HE IS FILING A LAWSUIT AGAINST THE CITY BECAUSE IT ALSO KILLED HIS BABY!" It's kinda like teenage drama has made it's way into everyone's life. People blow things up to glorify the situation. I don't get it, haha. :]
