I can see these things can be invalidating however, what if a person is a drama queen/king & so emotional that they let that control their lives.

Sometimes these things are an indication that a person has a problem that they need to address. I know if I was constantly being told this & I would look into myself introspectively. If I found that they were all true.....they I would need to make some serious changes in my behavior.

If someone just says those things to hurt me & when I look internally & see they aren't true, then I am being invalidated.

They are good points to use to look at outselves because if we really are all those things, they we have a lot of work to do to become a functional person.

Sometimes when they apply to what a person is doing, they can be said to make the person realize what they are really doing. It is if we use them to hurt someone that is very wrong.

Just something to think about,
