Dramaname

It's about patterns, not just isolated incidents. Everyone has rough patches, but dramanames consistently create or exaggerate problems, often pulling others into their drama. If you find yourself constantly playing the role of therapist or mediator, it's a red flag.

It's challenging, but not impossible. Setting firm boundaries is key. That means being clear about what you're willing to do (and not do) for them, and sticking to it. Remember, you're not responsible for fixing their problems.

Gradual distancing is often best. Slowly reduce the amount of time you spend with them and limit your engagement in their problems. Use phrases like, 'That sounds tough, but I'm not really in a place to help right now.' Prioritize your own mental health.
