10 Real Confessions From An Overly Dramatic Person
Remezcla

Okay yeah I'll admit it, I'm extremely dramatic.


At all times, I low-key pretend I'm the star of my own telenovela. For those who can relate to this, know that's not necessarily a bad thing. It just means that you like to keep things interesting; you like the find the juice in even the driest of fruits.

If you think you may very well be an overly dramatic person (ODP) but you're not entirely convinced, take a gander at these confessions. If they ring true to you, welcome to the fam!


1. Your favorite method of communication is the phone call.

Texting is fine and dandy for relaying a quick piece of gossip, but nothing beats the beauty of spilling the deets right into the ear of your friend. They need to hear your tone of voice, the inflexions, they need to hear all of it to really understand why this phone call was necessary. They need to ~feel~ what you feel while telling them your news.

2. Any minor inconvenience is too much for you to handle.

You're telling ME, that I need to stay an extra fifteen minutes at work? Seriously?

You're telling ME, that you want ME to grab YOUR phone charger? Seriously?

You're telling ME, that you can't swap my eggs for more hashbrowns? Seriously?

3. LOL at constructive criticism

I laugh at it because there is no such thing. Any form of criticism is like a stab in the back. How dare you not think that I am absolutely wonderful at everything that I do?

4. You can't just tell someone something "real quick"

No joke, this is a true story. The other day, an old friend of mine surprised me at work. I hadn't seen him in a really long time so I was super excited to see him. As soon as he left, my coworker asked me who he was, and instead of saying something quick like, "oh he's just a really good friend of mine," I gave her a 10-minute response that began with the words, "the year was 2014, I was a sophomore at the university."

5. You cry about the smallest things

Things that can make me cry:

- Instrumental movie soundtracks

- Gum commercials

- Tasty videos on Facebook

- The sight of my dogs

If you're an ODP, you probably have your own list of arbitrary things that make you sob like a baby for no real good reason.

6. You are quite the exaggerator

What actually happened: "I was standing by the pier eating my ice cream cone when a seagull flew too close to me leading me to spazz out and drop my cone into the ocean."

What you tell your friends: "No joke, I was standing by the pier innocently enjoying my ice cream cone when this bald eagle swooped in and grabbed my cone with his talons of fury. He flew into the horizon with my ice cream in his grasp and now it's probably being enjoyed by his entire eagle family."

7. You get really into your television shows.

There's nothing better than being able to delve yourself into the fictional lives of your favorite television characters. Us ODP's love to sit around the TV and just judge these characters and their poor decisions. When life is boring, television gives you that fix of drama that you're craving. It's a blast.

8. Gossip is like water to you; you NEED it.

I'm not a real big fan of tea. I don't get the hype, it's literally just hot leaf water. But, what I do love is that...SWEET...JUICY...METAPHORICAL...TEA. That real good stuff that Kermit the Frog likes to sip on. ODP's love to be in the know. No piece of information can be kept away. Tell me all of it. Please. I need it.

9. You are deeply moved by the smallest of gestures.

If you're an ODP, you are overly touched when a friend does absolutely anything for you. They brought you your phone charger? You better keep that friend locked down because they are rare. They shared their fries with you? You better give them a necessary 5-minute speech letting them know how 'blessed' you are to have them in your life.

10. You can dish it real well, but there's no way in hell you're taking it.

You love to poke fun at others and make little digs here and there. You're not in it to hurt anybody's feelings, you just find it funny. But if someone does the same thing to you? OH HELL NO. That is not your friend. How DARE THEY? Don't they know how sensitive you are?

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
