Searching for a Heart of Gold - SCN
May. 24th, 2003 11:00 pmSo now I've gotten to thinking about melodrama and if it is humanly possible to have any sort of social group completely void of melodrama?
Cause lets think about this: High school had its fill of melodrama, so did college, hell even online communities like SCN and Livejournal have drama! Workplaces have drama, families, everything!!!
I can't think of any group I've ever been a member of that didn't engage in dramatic action, (of the emotional kind, not the theatrical kind.) Even when I've thought I wasn't engaging in melodramatic behavior, I've seen later that I was. Because on some level there is always drama, either overt or covert.
Kinda depressing, to me at least. Esspecially since I do consciously try to avoid melodrama these days. But one way or the other I always winde up enmeshed in it.
Stupid society :-p Stupid social norms :-p
