HOW TO DEAL WITH DRAMA

After a night out with friends and realizing that it requires an hour long preparation involving a 5-Hour Energy to actually participate in a full night out, I remembered the downside of going out; DRAMA. I've never fancied myself a dramatic person in any capacity. I'm very non-confrontational for the most part and drunken drama is the least appealing. However, if you are of age to be in a bar (or have a really tits fake ID), you will recognize this drama immediately.

There is only one way to deal with drama; AVOID IT AT ALL COSTS.

If you have friends that are consistently dramatic when you go out, stop going out with those friends.
If you have friends that are consistently dramatic when you stay in, stop staying in with those friends.
If you have friends that are consistently dramatic in their love lives and will not shut up about it, you should probably point that out to them and promptly tell them to pipe the fuck down.

Life is far too short to have that drama in your life. And whether you are the drama or you tolerate the drama, you need to find a way to get it the fuck out of your life.

If you insist on keeping your loudmouth drama queen/king friend in your life, you have no choice but to take on the role of den-mother/father and be the voice of reason CONSTANTLY. Because let's face it, on any given night when someone pisses you off enough to get mad and act on it, that friend is going to be causing five times the drama you would about it. You can't rely on that.

So, if you find yourself surrounded by that drama, you either have to be the one controlling the evening or you need to get yourself some new friends.

I recommend the latter.

Goodnight/morning, fairweather fucks.
