Exaggerating differs from dramatising. Suppose a couple is on vacation at the beach. Madame imagines terrifying scenes when Monsieur swims far away. Even while she knows her spouse swims well, her imagination prevails. She dramatises if she is in all her states when her husband returns because of emotions.
If she just asks, “Have you thought about the sharks before you walked away like that?” and that she has no feelings is exaggerated.
When we dramatise, we fear the consequences or responsibility.
As an example,
An unclean bathroom: the mother thinks the kids are taking advantage of her and don't care that she has other things to do. She feels unloved.
A child too close to a pool: the parent fears being blamed for an accident.
Being late for an appointment: fear of losing respect, a job, being judged, etc.
Seeing a mouse or spider: invasion anxiety. Animals remind people of their fear of humans.
Fear of being unattractive and alone after gaining five kilogrammes.
A setback that disturbs your plans: feeling disrespected or terrified of the consequences.
Dramatizers blame others for their happiness or sadness. She also feels responsible for others. Without realising it, she just thinks of herself.
A responsible person takes responsibility for their actions, not others'.
Let's explore how a responsible person might react to the most catastrophic scenarios from the beginning.
Losing her job: she doesn't blame her boss. She accepts that chance doesn't exist. She realised that she had learned what she needed to know from this work and wanted to move on. Universe handled it for her.
Bankruptcy: not systemic or economic. Instead, she tells herself it lets her create new experiences. She becomes empowered by such an attitude, not dejected.
She does not accuse her child or feel bad for the teen's drug use. She realises that the youngster made this decision and will have to live with the repercussions. She tells him she feels this way and won't suffer the repercussions for him. However, she offers to help him within his ability.
Instead of panicking, she uses her serious condition to identify the underlying mindset that caused it. She then appreciates what this disease has shown her.
husband who leaves: she confronts her fear of abandonment rather than condemning the husband. She accepts her fear to be less dependent on others for happiness because she created it.
Death of a loved one: she does not feel abandoned or wronged. She accepts her soul return. Even though she misses them, she accepts their choice.
This kind of responsibility keeps you grounded. Centred people know there's always a solution and make the appropriate decisions by being calmer and more observant.
Lost-control dramatizers are off-center and cause issues. She gets nervous troubles, headaches, indigestion, intestinal, liver, and pancreas issues. The digestive system suffers most. Dramatising makes people victims. She gets increasingly terrible, rare diseases as a victim.
For what?
Because sad incidents or illnesses draw attention to the victim. She thinks she won't get attention without these dramas. No material object is permanent, thankfully. Everything's temporary. Only those who believe an unfavourable circumstance is permanent repeatedly replicate it with their creativity, proving themselves right.
