[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There’s a difference between being a “drama llama” and sharing what’s going on in our lives. There’s absolutely zero drama in my relationship with my best friend, but when we catch up in the midst of our busy lives, she’ll share stories (just an example) about a difficult employee (which is equal parts venting, laughter and advice) and I’ll share about my child’s sometimes bumpy transition to college, etc - but we’re both interested and it’s always balanced; our communication is healthy and loving. Friendships that are just surface have their place in my life, for sure but with my closest friends, we can go deep. And that’s different from “drama.”[/quote]

+100. People here seem to have a difficult time understanding that sharing their problems and vulnerability is not dramatic… the drama friend is an entirely different beast[/quote]

This is a common problem with DCUM posters. They only see things in black and white. Which is a hallmark of personality disorders. Just saying [/quote]
