Drama queen is a term used to describe women who invest unnecessary emotion in insignificant things and make a mountain out of a molehill. If your girlfriend is a drama queen, here are a few ways to help you deal with her.

1. Don’t pay extra attention

How can your girlfriend possibly create a mountain out of a molehill when you have nothing to add to it? The answer is that she can’t. She may keep talking continuously for some time but the minute she realizes that you are not interested, she may feel like putting an end to her drama.

2. Don’t give instant reactions

If you find that your girlfriend has started whining about something irrelevant, don’t give knee jerk reactions of anger and frustration. This will instantly give her another reason to pin you down and create more drama. Give monosyllabic replies and hear her out without any provocations.

3. Talk to her about the problems caused by her melodrama

Ignoring her may help you get temporary peace of mind but to get your drama queen girlfriend to stop permanently, you will have to do some honest talking. Recall and enlist all the conflicts that could have been deflated if she wouldn’t have over reacted. Also tell her about all the conflicts in the past that could have been easily resolved if she did not manipulate the matter with her melodrama. Unless you pin point specific details to her, shay may not be able to understand what harm her behavior may be causing.
