SEC13 WK3 "Is drama only for women or is it also for men?

Been dramatic is not exclusive to a woman alone. It goes both ways. In my own opinion, everyone of us have that atom of madness in us that if we get push to the wall for too long we tend to explode in a dramatic way or sometimes, we do it just to get attention. But I will say it varies because the way a lady may react might be different from the way a guy will react. It depends on personal choices and circumstances. But in the end, been dramatic is a matter of perception.

There are several questions I’ll answering in the cause of this post but before I jump into it, I’ll love to invite some ladies that I know will be very interested in this topic. @weisser-rabe, @blessingogah-1 and @goodybest

• Are you dramatic by nature? Yes, no, or maybe? Why?

I can’t say I’m dramatic by nature. I overlook a lot of things and I’ve a feeling is because I’m not hot tempered but once in awhile I do complain especially when I need your attention and I’m not getting it. Secondly, as much as I overlook a lot of things, there are times I can’t take it anymore and I explode and you see people get so surprised and will be like “wow!! So, Samson can be this angry”. I will say it has happened once. Even me, I didn’t expect it. I know you might be wondering what it is that would have made me so dramatic… well, keep reading till you find out!!

• Do you think your opposite sex is more dramatic than yours? Why?

For me, I’ll say “yes”. I’ve met several ladies but when it comes to been dramatic, it varies among them. I’ve encountered a lady that knows how to hide her emotions very well but from her facial expressions, her attitude, you will know you have crossed the line. I’ll say the highest scene she can make is shout at me but even at her shouting, you know that she means well for me and wants me to succeed.

I’ve also met the one that her own drama is crying. When she wants to be manipulative, or wants attention, she will start crying. Sometimes, I wonder if she was an onions in her former life because the tears is readily available. Once I’ve seen the tears, my heart will just get soft like petroleum jelly!! 😂 I’ll now have to start explaining for her to see reasons with me, so that she will stop crying.

You see this particular lady, her hot temper is out of this world. Whenever she displays her drama here, I run off. Every little thing gets her upset. I am always saying **“sorry”** all the time, even when I’m not wrong just for peace to reign. The bad part of it, is that her screaming is so loud, it attracts neighbors and it makes me shy. She’s the reason I made a decision not to marry hot tempered lady because it got too a point that I couldn’t take it and I’d to react…. I know you want to hear the full story but just calm down and keep reading.

• When you get sick, do you tell everybody, or do you keep it to yourself? Why

When I get sick, I don’t tell anybody. I carry myself to the hospital. I think is just an African man nature to appear strong all the time even if you are fainting. Even while growing up, there is no day I saw my dad sick, maybe my mum will be aware of it not for the children. I guess we were still small then, that’s why he wanted to appear strong for us.

• Are you one of those who adds some drama to the situation, or do you tell things as they really happen?

I’m not the type that adds drama except I’m with my friends and I want to make gist spicy and funny in order to make my friends laugh, that’s when you see me creating drama out of the situation. Normally, i do tell things as they happen.

• What drama have you created in life or in public? Tell us all about it.

I know the suspense i have been eating you up to know what happened that made me say I can’t marry a hot tempered lady!! Well, this is what happened.

Well, before now, I don’t use to put my phone in password and I happened to be dating a girl who has this temper issues. Since, I wasn’t the angry type, it was easy dating her….. so, I thought. She bumped into my phone and started reading 2go chats and stumbled upon a conversation with a female friend of mine that I have never met before… I told her when I travel for Christmas, we’ll see for the first time. She started reading meaning into the chats.

Her usual drama started. I started explaining and begging her to let her understand that me and this girl have never met before… I went as far as scrolling to the beginning of our chats for her to stop the yelling but she refused. I could not take it any longer, I stopped apologizing and allowed her to vent her anger because I was fed up. I didn’t know that as I stopped saying “sorry”, I was fueling her anger. This lady went to pick my innocent laptop that was lying on the bed on its own and threw it on the floor, Something I bought recently for my school project.

I was lucky there was a thick rug on the floor, so the effect of the fall was reduced. I was so mad at her for trying such thing. Before I’ll stand up to pick it up from the floor, she rushed to pick it before me, that if I shout at her again, she will hit it on the floor this time directly on the tile. That was when my drama started. She have never seen that part of me before. Even me, never thought I could be that angry because I’m always laughing. Then my place in Port-Harcourt, Nigeria was known for the head quarters of militants. I use everything in me to threaten her that if she tries it one more time, she won’t leave here. I had to be careful not to attack her, so she won’t break the laptop. Deep in me , I was praying to God, she should not break the laptop because with the way I was so angry at that moment, I had know idea what I would have done to her if she had tried it. I started doing fake calls as if I was calling my friends. Luckily one of the neighbors that heard my voice came to knock the door at the right time. So, she was afraid that I’ve called one militant to come and beat her.. 😂😂😂

She just dropped my innocent laptop on the bed, carried her bag and left hurriedly. That was the last time I saw her. That was when I made a decision not to date any hot tempered lady because I think they are the only ones that can make me display some crazy drama I never thought I had in me..😊

In conclusion, Personal experiences with drama can be diverse and unique to each individual and like I said earlier in the introductory stage, whether one gender is more dramatic than the other is a matter of perception and varies from person to person.
