Is Your Husband a Drama Queen?

Is someone in your life always begging for attention? And it’s not your dog?

The last Quick Fix cartoon, part of the closed website psychcentral com,  is about the other side of yummy sex. Yeah, sometimes you have to go there.

And thank you for sharing every week on Facebook and Twitter.

Drama queens and kings

Today’s cartoon is about drama. Do you know anyone like the attention hog in this cartoon? Drama queen or drama king, both are annoying. Also, dressing up when it’s not October, nope, not okay. Also, no animal cruelty, please!

I’ve met a lot of actors, in both stage and film, and surprisingly, they are fulfilled by their work, and aren’t so demanding or dramatic in real life. They’re pretty laid back. So they aren’t drama queens. But the rest of us get stuck with lemons like this guy now and then. 🙂

Tiny Buddha has some suggestions to help with people who hog the spotlight and create chaos for the rest of us. Myself, I’d want to make sure this guy was never allowed near a can opener again.

The last 2 years have been killers in relationships, am I right? So if you have a difficult person in your life – some call them call them narcissistic — Here are some ideas you might like to chill with:

  • Be an observer. Not everything needs a reaction. ~Angelina PhouGui Chan-Ong
  • I realize that spending time by myself is always preferable to spending time with someone who wants drama. Nothing wrong with a dull day. ~Stephanie Goddard HA HA!
  • Love them a little more. It’s who they are. It might even be you. ~Ed Pulsifer (This one might be too hard. But you might be a better person than me.)

And if you would like to take action against the REAL caveman, James Palmer DDS, (the lion killer of Cecil the Lion)  here you go. Whatta dirtbag.

I did the cartoon Quick Fix for Psychcentral for almost 9 years, and will start posting psychology cartoons here. Or find more cat cartoons here.
