Reading random LiveJournals makes me wonder...

Do people that live psychodrama to psychodrama realize that they do?

I know him pretty well, and I know he doesn't.

Neither do I.

uh, yesthattom has PLENTY of psychodrama. He deals with it well, and tries not to gossip too much. But he DEFINITELY has psychodrama.

I'm just amazed that it took reading random people's journals to wonder about people living psychodrama to psychodrama. I mean, I see it in my social circles a lot.

Plenty?

I disagree. Outside of the divorce (which is _long_ over) I haven't had any psychodrama in my life for quite some time. I've actively removed psychodrama-attractors from my life. However, there are some new people in my life that have varying amounts of psychodrama in their lives, and I'm trying to decide what limits I'm going to set with these people.

I was specifically thinking about the divorce, actually. Sometimes it creeps in. And like I said, you have your share of psychodrama, you just deal with it well, so it becomes *internal* psychodrama instead of external psychodrama.

If that makes any sense.

Well, what I meant was that he doesn't -live- from psychodrama to psychodrama. He doesn't live -for- psychodrama. He, like most people, has had psychodrama in his life, as have I. But I think he values and appreciates the times in his life when psychodrama is absent, and I don't think he goes out of his way to -create- psychodrama. Nor do I think he gets bored when psychodrama is absent.

ah, mea culpa.

Somehow, I thought you were saying yesthattom has NO psychodrama at all. I probably read it too quickly (argh).

I was just clarifying that he, like most people, has psychodrama. He's just good at handling it so he's not a drama queen about it. :)
