Other People's Drama
65
Am I still in high school?
I am so sick and tired of other people's drama. There is only so much one can take. And my relationship (sadly) is starting to suffer from it. I dont want to be involved in any way. But when people call me ten times a day to tell me, "Guess what so and so did?" and knock on my door to tell me, "This person said this about so and so" it's a bit hard to avoid.
The strange thing is that Ive never acted like I appreciate this behavior. When these people are telling me this stuff, I act bored and say, "I dont care." I dont see how they havent gotten the hint yet.
I am not twelve years old, therefore, I do not want to hear about what the 12 year olds in the neighborhood are fighting about. If you heard I said something about you, I probably did and I will tell you to your face; I have no problem with that. Some people around here do have a problem doing that and it gets old, not that I personally care but I dont want those types of people being around me, talking trash about everyone they know and then going to them and talking trash about me. Id just rather avoid the whole childish ordeal.
This is making me tired just writing about it. I stop taking phone calls, I quit answering my door, if it is you who is being ignored, then you are the problem.
Please, no one likes a drama maker and no one likes your idiot kids either. Leave me and mine alone to live our boring existence. Or else I will be forced to hurt you. :)
There's already enough trouble around my house with people stomping up the steps and blasting their music. Ive actually gotten blamed for this. We try to be quiet so as not to attract more unwanted attention. Ive been here 5 years and now all of a sudden Im having issues with management. Obviously it isnt me. They should take a look at what's around me.

It's just really hard to avoid because I *live* in the midst of it all. Im starting to get downright mean about it.
The way I look at it: people look at and talk about others so they can feel better about themselves and ignore their own issues. It doesn’t stop this from happening, but does make it easier to put it into perspective.
Youre right. Besides moving to the middle of nowhere (which Ill admit, is starting to sound wonderful) I guess Ill have to live with it or tell them to keep it to themselves.
Just stick to your own values and don't let them get you into joining them.

I'm with you! I've experienced this kindergarten behavior in all the many offices where I've worked. They are such gossip and rumor mills. And it's so difficult to stay removed from it and just do your job. You're more frank with people than I am in such situations. I admire your honesty.
