Avoid Drama with Friends

Being in fights with other people can cause unnecessary stress and aggravation in your life. Because who really wants to have to worry about other people being mad at them, and sometimes even talking behind their backs? Just follow these steps to avoid having drama in your life.

Steps

  1. Never talk badly about other people behind their backs, no matter what. It may be a fun thing to do at the time, because there's a whole other group of people doing it, but most of the time it comes back to haunt you. The person will find out and if it's a friend of yours, it can cause a fight.
  2. Be nice to everyone! There's no reason to be mean to others, even if they start something with you first. It'll keep everything more peaceful and calm that way.
  3. Occasionally when it's needed, try putting others before yourself. For example, if your friend is having troubles at home, and they need to get out of the house and just talk, maybe you can stop what you're doing (if you're doing something that isn't too important) and go help your friend. People will think of you as a better person, and won't really have a reason to be mad at you.
  4. Don't tell someone else's secrets! Of course your friend is going to find out, from another so called friend, and they are going to confront you about this, this can lead to a lot of things, like people turning against you, and your secrets being told.
  5. Stay out of other people's drama! There's no reason for you to get into the middle of someone else's fight. Let them work it out on their own. Because whenever people do this, even if it's just to help a friend, you usually get dragged into it and end up having people turned against you in one way or another (this doesn't apply to putting others before yourself, in some situations you really can't).
  6. Note: If you fight fire with fire, you'll end up getting burned.
  7. Do not deny something when someone asks you "did you do this?", be truthful. Honesty is the first requirement in friendship, and if you don't have that in a friendship, you're not getting yourself into a good situation.

Tips

  • Don't let others walk all over you. Putting people before yourself occasionally is okay. But letting them walk all over you because of it is not okay.
  • Lying about things is bad. Its never a good thing, sometimes the truth hurts but lying hurts more.
  • If you hear someone talking badly about one of your friends, the best you can do is to pretty much just let it go. I know the person is a good friend and all, but if you go tell them what you heard, it may get out that you're the one that told your friend about it, causing other people to get mad at you.
  • If you do get into an unexpected fight with a friend, try to resolve it as soon as possible, before it gets out of control and something small turns into you losing a good friend of yours.
  • Remember that you may be today's news, but there will always be something more interesting making headlines tomorrow.
  • Try to be very supportive if your not someone else will and that might end your friendship.

Warnings

  • There are some people out there that no matter what you do or how nice you are that will just start stuff with you for no reason at all. These people are just full of drama and you should just ignore them and not have anything to do with them. Even if they start rumors and stuff like that if your friends were true to you they would know that that stuff is not true!
  • Don't lie all the time, only when you desperately need to. I know lying is wrong, but sometimes you just have to do it. But don't do it too much or you will get caught.
