Do you know someone who is “addicted to drama”? A name and face may spring to mind – the colleague who treats gossip as if it’s in their job description, the neighbour hellbent on turning molehills into mountains, the relative who can be counted on to stoke tension at Christmas, that one friend who is never not in chaos.
These are the people who keep Nextdoor and community Facebook groups turning, who might routinely claim on Twitter to be “screaming, crying, throwing up” – who seem, on being mildly inconvenienced, to feel more deeply about it than you can ever remember feeling about anything.
