Drama: Love it or Hate it?

Some people actually thrive on drama. I'm not one of them.

If a friend calls me and I find myself in the middle of an uncomfortable disagreement or other situation, I just want to hang up.

In fact, I have given up friends and situations where drama just totally overwhelmed me. Between being on non-profit boards where there was too much in-fighting and not enough actualy work being done, and extended-family (siblings, cousins, etc.) brouhaha, I have swallowed my opinions and thoughs frequently just for the sake of keeping the peace.

Some women love the gossip, love taking sides, and can sit on the phone for hours putting in their two-cents.

Not me.
