You’d be lying if you said you’ve never had a dramatic friend… well, if you’ve never had one, then maybe you were the dramatic friend. ?

Jokes aside, I’m pretty sure we’ve all had our fair share of dramatic moments! But we must make sure we don’t go overboard lah otherwise you’ll be labelled as the friend who always damn ‘drama‘! So how do you know if you’re that friend?

Read on to find out seven things that one dramatic friend always does:

 

1. Their road rage is always a little bit “over”

Even the smallest things can set your drama friend off when they’re behind the wheel! Not to mention the unnecessary honking… ?

While we’ve all had our frustrating moments when driving, especially in areas like SS15 or Telawi, we must make sure not to blow up over something small like a driver forgetting to use their signal. Just make sure to always drive safe, ok?

 

2. They can easily explode if you don’t jaga what you say, especially when disagreeing

Some people just can’t handle a healthy debate and it shows. When you’re around people who love to cause drama and find fault, you need to constantly watch what you say ‘cos they might just explode over something small!

While it’s healthy to put your foot down once in a while, you also need to agree to disagree especially when you’re having an open discussion!

 

3. Their kiasu-ness can really turn everything into a competition

A little competition in our lives can definitely be healthy! But some people tend to take it overboard and turn EVERYTHING into a competition…

Sometimes, it may be easier just to let them win. Otherwise, you gotta brace yourself for some damn drama reactions!

 

4. They tend to over-exaggerate when telling stories

You ever had those moments where you’re actually wondering if your friend is telling the truth or if they’re just over-exaggerating?! We definitely have.

When you’re dealing with a dramatic friend, it can be hard to tell fact from fiction. After all, it’s in their nature to make things seem like a bigger deal than it actually is! At least it’s never a dull moment when they’re around…

 

5. Showing up “fashionably late” just so they can make a dramatic entrance

Malaysians, in general, have a reputation for being late, thanks to our infamous “Malaysian timing”, but dramatic people take this term to a whole new level.

Not only will they be super (we’re talking more than an hour) late, but they’ll do it on purpose just to get people to notice! Don’t so drama, can ah? ??‍♀️

 

6. They always have the juiciest gossip because they’re just damn kepoh

Ahh, we all have that one friend who always butts in on other people’s lives. Cos they are very kepoh, they somehow always manage to appear whenever there’s some drama happening between you or other friends too! Ahem, makcik bawangs, ahem. 

While it may be fun to talk about other people and listen to intricate details of their lives once in a while, just make sure that you’re not hurting anyone in the process okay?

 

7. Regardless of their dramatic tendencies, they can be really good friends

The thing about people who love drama is that they tend to be really good listeners which can come in handy when you’re going through some stuff in your own life. Sometimes, they even give great advice!

Needless to say, we’ve all been that ‘drama’ friend to others at least once in our lives. We’d be lying if we said we’ve never indulged in gossip and we know you’d be lying too. ?

Well, if you’re one who loves drama or simply loves watching dramas, then you’re going to love what’s next!
