Well, the drama mommas have to have someone to talk about. OP, you fit the role perfectly. I just hope you don't ever need their help for anything.

How to not be friends with people? Just don't be friends with them. Right? What am I missing?


+1. I find people who go out of their way to talk about how drama-free they are, are really actually not (at least subconsciously). Otherwise, why are you so preoccupied with it?

Don't worry OP. I don't think any of them will be seeking you out for friendships.

1) Don't refer to yourself as "mama."

2) Don't refer to all social interactions and relationships as "drama."

Don't get into their conversations. But, don't be so out that you seem conceited or labeled as unfriendly. If you are somehow dragged into it, just say, really, wow, oh man. Don't give personal opinions. The moms like to drag the opinion out of you. Keep smiling and say hi, how's it going, great, good, and keep walking.

My solution is to not have any friends currently, I guess. I’m letting the other drama free moms find me.

This is what I'm doing. Thanks.
