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.
  • This stems from a fear of vulnerability and a lack of trust in safe, deep connections.
  • The resulting tension manifests as chaotic behavior, reflecting the internal conflict between the desire for connection and the fear of it.

Best podcast app
JD Stuart
App Store
I’ve been using Snipd for about a year and this app has been life changing. I listen to about 17 hours of podcasts a week and I want to take notes on 95% of them. Snipd makes it so easy to do. I can triple click my headphones and record a snip. The app also improves rapidly which is welcomed. It’s an easy subscription for me to pay.
No 1 podcast app

I tried everything and snipd is the no 1 app for podcasts if you like to remember things. Just tap your headphones three times and a snipped is created, transcribed, and saved to you library.
