How to Deal With Drama

How to Deal With Drama



Throughout our lives, at one time or another, we have, and will
continue, have to deal with drama. We will be put in testy situations
we would much rather avoid. Here is a bit of advice that we could all
use on handling these inevitable occurances with a bit more finesse.

1. Know better. Realize that when others go out of their way to put someone down, there is usually some underlying reason.

2. 2
   Don't get involved.
   If and when someone decides to insult you, the best thing you can do is
   smile and state "no comment." There is no reason for snide remarks and
   comebacks. Just smile and change the subject, and let them know that
   you refuse to be bothered by such immature and futile tactics. They're
   wasting their time, and embarrassing themselves when you don't let it
   bother you it better so you finish the conversation sooner without
   being insulted.
   
3. 3
   Get over it. The
   person who is trying to bring you down is first and foremost trying to
   get a reaction out of you. If you play it off like it doesn't bother
   you (even if it does) then they automatically lose. Make a mental note
   to stay away from this person until they learn how to behave properly,
   if ever they do. Let them work out there own internal struggles
   themselves.
   
4. 4
   If someone is spreading rumors about you, it may be tempting to do the same in revenge. But resist this urge. It not only makes you yourself look bad, but it makes you no better than them.
   
5. 5
   This too shall pass.
   Rumors whether true and false, no matter how widely spread will
   eventually be forgotten, even in the smallest of communities, schools,
   and social groups. Just wait and soon enough a fresh piece of gossip
   will be dominating everyone's conversations
   
6. 6
   Vent only to someone you truly trust.
   Sometimes we do need someone to lend an ear so we can get a few things
   off our chest. But don't make the mistake of ranting to everyone who is
   willing to listen, no matter how secret they promise to keep your
   quotes.
   
7. 7
   Don't feed into it. Don't let the person see that you're getting upset because that will give them more incentive to keep on going.

• If you are caught in an unavoidable situation where you are face to
  face with the person who has been spreading rumors or who insults you,
  just remember to keep your cool. Simply smile and say, "I'm sorry that
  you feel that way," or "That's weird that it bothers you so much. It's
  not really a big deal." and walk away. It may sound a bit silly, but it
  gives you the upper hand, and makes the other person feel foolish, and
  really, what can a person say after that? You come off as the more
  mature and level-headed for not lowering yourself to someone else's
  level. It works like a charm.

• In the long run, your reputation will reflect your character.
  Always hold yourself to the highest standards and with respect towards
  yourself and everyone else, and people will know when rumors are false
  because they will know who you truly are and what you would and would
  not do. And if the rumors do happen to be true, they won't care because
  you are such a great person!
