What To Do When You Are In A Relationship With Someone Who is ADDICTED To Drama! | Mel Robbins

[@MissSothePeacefulObserver]

Mel, I appreciate you mentioning the car thing. I love having deep talks in a car. Something about being enclosed on all sides by a vehicle is very reassuring for some of us. It's like cats who love boxes. When I was having an argument or drama with someone, sometimes all we had to do was go for a drive, and we'd both calm down (because we're in a moving car and couldn't go anywhere) and we'd talk things out while driving. Even if one or both of us was yelling, crying, etc, the movement of the car starts to sooth the nervous system (as long as neither of us feels "trapped" in the car, and we're not in an abusive relationship). Plus, once we park somewhere after we've had our deep talk while driving, we can lean over and give each other a hug once parked. But I like driving since I find it relaxing in general. Appreciate the car reference. I know some parents also drive their kids around to help calm them down, or help put babies to sleep, etc. When I'm the one who's triggered or the drama, I pull away from and ghost everyone. Mostly, because I feel guilty if they are getting stressed due to my behavior. I just disappear, to leave them alone, so I can go calm down somewhere else, away from them.

Hello, I haven't listened to this yet. I wish you could make an episode of leaving a toxic work environment and a narcissistic boss.

[@merrillb7023]

Or toxic workers

[@What_is_happening_here]

@merrillb7023 and toxic co workers

[@elkeschubert212]

Ohhhh yeah, I'd love to hear that too please! Probably not that much different from the relationship scenario, because we are all in a certain kind of relationship with all our colleagues and bosses at work too.

Recognizing that this talk “revs me up” rn so setting a boundary and watching the rest of it later. 👍

But acknowledging the drama, the person gets even more mad and it ruins the relationship even further. It isn't that straight forward to say it to the person oj face.

[@77Sunbeam]

Agree.

[@tammystrasser]

Ended a friendship due to her drama. Just can’t any more. So much stress off my back now. My question though is that she owes me $200 for some furniture she bought from me. It’s been two months and no payment. I’ve messaged her twice about it. Do I let it go?

[@mollyb1983]

Small price to pay for a huge burden off your back. Cut your losses and move on! Congrats!
