Drama is just one of those things in life that seem to be unavoidable at times. No matter what a person does, no matter how far a person may go to avoid it, there is always going to be at least one instance in life when you can’t escape it.
The trick I guess is how you handle yourself in those situations, and what part you play in the situation at hand.
There are 4 kinds of parts when it comes to drama (as far as I’m concerned. Feel free to argue about it amongst yourselves…)
1: The Direct Opponents
So, the first kind of people are simply known as the ‘direct opponents’. In terms of drama, these are the people who are directly involved in the situation; usually involving the person (or people) who do something to cause dissatisfaction or disagreement (we’ll call this the objector), versus the person (or people) who don’t agree with the dissatisfaction at hand (we’ll call these the conjector*). It sounds complicated, but for it to sound more official, it needs to be worded as such. Let me give you an example. The objector decides that the way the conjector dresses is slutty and suggestive. The conjector finds out about it (either directly or indirectly) and they argue back about the matter, defending themself, or saying that the objector personally dresses a certain way. And thereon, drama starts. Usually it goes back and forth between the people; each try to one up the other.
Now, this comes to make the objector seem like the bad guy, but that’s not always the case. The objector isn’t always calling someone a bad name or something; sometimes they are just trying to say how they feel about something and it gets taken out of term and yaddy-yadda blah blah it spirals out of control.
*I just made up the word conjector, because everything else was too long: objector challenger, object opponent…and unobjector sounded kinda stupid…so I made up my own word for it.
2: The Indirect Adversary
The Indirect Adversary are kind of like ‘seconds’ in dueling. They are the backups for each side of the argument. Not really like minions or anything like that…they just simply agree one way or another on the matter. These are also the people who are indirectly involved IN the matter; they are not the main focal point of the matter, but let’s say it was the conjector’s boyfriend, and they don’t necessarily HAVE to be involve, but they personally decide to go and get involved anyways. Ugh, I hate these people sometimes….most of the time. Depending on what side I’m on.
3: The In-Betweeners
These are the people I feel fairly bad for. These are the people that don’t want to be in the middle of the fight/drama, but find themselves in the middle of it regardless. Easiest example is in a divorce settlement; the children in this case are the in-betweeners. Or, when two best friends are fighting, the third friend who is friends with both people find themselves in the middle of the argument, sometimes having to choose sides and whatnot.
4: The Innocent By-standers
These people are the ones who usually are friends of friends of the objector and the conjector…they hear about the drama but have nothing to do with it and want nothing to do with it. Simple enough to understand. But these people sometimes become Indirect Adversaries when they start to spread rumors about the drama at hand and decide that they agree one way or the other on the matter. And once you go from innocent by-stander to indirect adversary, there’s no going back.
Haha, I love this picture I edited. It looks awesome.
So this blog is actually pretty short. I have a specific reason for writing it, but I’ll post that as another blog since this one might get more views if I don’t include a whole side-story to it.
I hope you like my take on drama. Any suggestions or anything, please let me know. It means a lot to me to have your input.
