Everyone works with a drama queen.

Drama queens. They lurk in every corner. Waiting to make your life a living hell. Always b-----ing about something. Always stirring up sh--. And those crocodile tears come flowing if something doesn't go her/his way. You know who you are. Come out and be set free. Drama queens no more.

Peace out!

Hi, my name is Sarah, and I am a drama queen. It's been 4 years since my last self induced dramatic ordeal.

(from the group) HI SARAH!

Yeah, I was a pretty bad drama queen myself. In defense, I was heavily involved with the theater growing up and was (still am) a talented actress. What I have found in my life is that once a drama queen experiences a few TRUE dramas (real life traumatic events beyond their control) an awakening occurs. Now this may not be true for all, but in my case it is.

Once I saw just how much chaos life can hurl at you, I realized how much energy I was wasting creating chaos for myself.

As for dealing with a drama queen, the best thing to do is act disinterested (shouldn't be too hard, probably won't even have to "act ). A drama queen will seek out those who will be a part of their drama. The old saying "ignore it and it'll go away..."

all I have to say about the vomit queen would be that if it even splattered in my direction I know one chick who would be getting her lips dermabonded together.

Worked with a special one one time who threw a stomping chart tossing fit. Right before I sent her home that night I informed her that when my 13 year old tried to act like that I beat the day

lights out of her.

For the others I just tune out, thye rarely notice whether you are actually listening or not
