When she attacks you, smack her in the snoot.

'drama queen' can be a stage rather than the fixed character. If nobody bothers challenging her on her attitude, then she will continue on her merry way thinking that's acceptable. You're both young and still learning how to be the adults you now are. All the rules start changing and people change and evolve alongside at very different rates.

Don't put up with it. Being her friend and being her emotional punchbag are not the same thing. Putting up with that kind of nonsense wouldn't do her any favours and harms you.

drama queens? no thanks. run fast and far.

if she's mean to you and doesnt care enough about your feeeelings to apologize......maybe youre the bitch.

in the relationship, i mean. maybe she's more masculine than you are. i mean....probably she's more masculine. go have a nice cry. you'll feel better.

I don't think you've known her long enough. Only friends for a year? Now she is showing you how she reacts to things that aren't going good for her...and now that you have seen it (and you don't like it) then you should tell her straight up or just...don't look to her as a good friend.

let her go - don't initiate contact with her and when (if) she asks why... tell her. In ten or twenty years you'll laugh about her with your "True Friends."

True Friends tell their friends when they are being a bitch. It's true. I've had to do this several times and will continue to do it. We usually remain friends.

That is so fuckin' true.

I wouldn't take Hoof Hearted's approach. That will end up escalating an already tense situation, which is as mature as treating someone poorly in the first place.

You can still let her know her behavior is unacceptable without escalating. Directly and calmly (if possible) tell her how you feel about the way she's treating you. It doesn't help to be passive aggressive.

Don't start in with dramatic lines like "why would you say that to me?" She'll respond with her excuse about how overwhelmed she is, and it will all become part of an act you will be doomed to repeat as long as the relationship continues.

It is not an excuse to consistently attack someone over stress. People do slip every once in a while but if its on a consistent basis that means there are deeper problems or, more likely, she is just a drama queen. Everyone gets stressed and has to deal with it without taking it out on others, its a part of life.

I personally would yell at her the next time she did that to me and directly question her of how she has some right to attack people when she gets stressed but no one else doesn't. Mention how I have stress but I do not use it as an excuse to attack other people, how other people have stress and do not use it to attach other people. That will force the issue upon her that she is either a drama queen and other people have caught on to it and are not willing to take it or she is very bad at controlling stress and has deeper issues. That will force her to change or move on. I would benefit from either.

What do you call a guy who is always yakkin' and bawling...a Drama King?

Guys tend to suffer in silence. Unless their looking for pity sex.

A bit of trivia. Camels are known to grow very attached to their mates and male camels will mourn over a lost love. But in their case they're known as dramedarys.
