I work in a very small office building for a not for profit social service agency. Being that it's so small, we all get to know one another extremely well - sometimes too well. I tend to hear more personal info than I would like from my co-workers. One lady here is one of those who thrives on drama. She creates it for herself and makes herself emotional for no good reason at all. For instance, if there is a national tragedy somewhere - she will figure out a way to bring it back to her. If there is a local tragedy - again, she can bring it back to her in some way. It's like the 6 Degrees of Separation game for her. She even goes out of her way to make herself the center of these events. A while ago, a local Sheriff's deputy was shot and killed during a routine traffic stop. The day after, my coworker and her son drove past the area where this took place. The next day at work she became so "emotional" about this she had to go home for the day. She didn't know this man at all and she didn't live anywhere near this area. Last January, we had a freak tornado which took out parts of the city. On the night it happened, even though everyone was warned to stay home and away from those areas - she went out to see the damage. Again, next day, too emotional to work even though she was not directly affected by this at all.
This woman lives for drama. Pick a date in time, any date - she can tell you who got married, died, gave birth or lost a child on that date and, somehow, it has something to do with her. It's so weird! I can't imagine what life must be like for her. Always needing the attention of everyone to make herself feel better about herself. I feel sorry for her really. I think she must be very lonely most of the time. And she must feel awfully unlucky to think that all of these tragedies have somehow had something to do with her life.
