You know how people start to cause drama for no real reason? It honestly blows my mind.

Like... what is the purpose? Why spend so much energy simply trying to be mean to someone? Or to spread rumours about someone?

I honestly don't get what goes through people's minds sometimes. How does it help the individual who is trying to start s***? Especially when everyone else who knows both parties is well aware of the fact that the sh**disturber is talking s***?

It rather makes me laugh. I can be quite sensitive in a lot of ways, but when someone is just being nasty for the sake of it... well... it makes me laugh. Why spend so much time just hating someone/something? Online or offline, I honestly just don't get it.

Maybe they feed off of negativity, and when there's none they create it.


Maybe some people just like the idea of living on the Jerry Springer show...


Idk, I find such people aggravating and pathetic. I just steer clear.

Yes This! Have wondered this many times.

I don't get it either.. I think it probably boils down to someone is unhappy in their life and want to drag people down with them.

Don't get it, either.

I've family of origin to turn to, if I want drama. Well, one side, that is. I'd rather avoid it[drama ] all together, if I can.

Some people are drown to drama maybe because that's all they know and it's familiar and they just need it. Could be also some type of disorder that makes them seek drama

Those kind of people kind of make me laugh, at least until they try to drag me into it...then that's a sign for me to move on from that situation.

I think perhaps they create drama because they like the attention.

They do it for personal entertainment, attention and sometimes simply to feel included and/or important in some way. This kind of thing is usually closely related to a self-esteem issue. Their own internal world is empty or so disorganized they need something or someone else to focus on.
