5 quick tips to greatly reduce the amount of drama you get from others

When people talk about acquiring freedom in their lives, they often discuss material and logistical privileges like having enough money, staying single, or living in a cabin in the woods.

We don’t often hear of psychological freedom, which people possess when they handle drama from others well.

Here are some ideas I’ve picked up over the years that keep the drama out so that I maintain my peace and sanity:

If someone brings you drama, the worst thing you can do is react aggressively in the face of it.

You’re adding fuel to the conflict, encouraging the other person to bring more heat in return.

It’s an endless loop and reflects an immature mind.

Break the spell by not reacting and remaining calm. Diffuse with humour, a smile, or simply change the subject if appropriate. Don’t ‘reward’ drama with your own version of it.

See this as a continual practice towards self-mastery.

Ultimately people will grow to respect you because you continually keep your cool.

It doesn’t need to be all about you.

There’s nothing you need to protect or prove. Knowing this, it becomes easier to relax without feeling the need to air all your woes, gripes and achievements.

Sometimes it’s good to offload problems with the right people for our wellness.

However, we save ourselves a lot of drama when we’re ok with giving someone else the stage.

They will feel heard, you will learn more about others, and you will come across as more mysterious and interesting.

When people bring us unnecessary drama, more often than not, it reflects a childish need for attention.

Perhaps they were triggered and decided to go on a long rant.

If, after you’ve allowed them to cool down, they continue to disrespect your boundaries and your peace, deny them your physical presence.
