Drama Addiction & Loneliness
- Drama addiction stems from a lack of emotional support and validation during childhood, leading to beliefs like "My needs don't matter."
- This creates a chaotic, groundless feeling and a compulsion to stay busy and in control to avoid emotional vulnerability.
- People with drama addiction pull others into their chaos to feel less alone, ironically pushing them away while craving connection.

- The resulting tension manifests as chaotic behavior, reflecting the internal conflict between the desire for connection and the fear of it.
