Drama Queen Girlfriend

Question: One of my best friends is admittedly a drama queen. And it seems that during those times when her life is not in turmoil, she will create some turmoil her need for attention overshadows everything else she accomplishes to the point
that I don't know what to believe when she tells me things. Should I end the
friendship?

Answer:

Dear Friend of Drama Queen,

Is the need for attention really a friendship breaker ? Have you ever tried to combat her drama with humor ? Tell her that your drama low light is off and that you cannot handle any more today, this week, this month. You can put her on a drama budget and she can only have some much turmoil and then no more. If she is always complaining that she is being wronged ask her why she allows people to treat her that way. Tell her that she deserves to be treated better and that as her friend you are not going to spend any more time dwelling on the negative. Life it short! Make a pact to rid yourselves of negative drama. This strategy give her attention and you a new lease on a friendship. And if this fails, at least you know you tried.
