Why do people need drama in their lives?

Ok looking for objective, PERSONAL answers, i have the psychological view. I am caught in the middle of drama which has nothing to do with me, but is between a good friend and my family. Both sides have valid arguments, but both sides are not without fault. Basically friend went and told people personal stuff about my family who in turn found out. the personal stuff got spread so in return the family retaliated and confronted the people involved. the whole thing blew up but it couldve been prevented HAD PEOPLE NOT BEEN DRAMA SEEKING! So now, I am looking for reasonable rational answers from normal people and not psychology textbook explanations. BY THE WAY: I have no choice but to be involved. i get it in the ear from both sides DAILY! and i have said not interested but then im being an asshole for not caring and listening

    There are many types of Drama.

    Family Drama

    Friendship Drama

    Boyfriend/Girlfriend Drama

    Husband/Wife Drama

    Work Drama

    School Drama

    etc...etc...etc...

    Everything has drama...people just add more drama because they aren't happy with what is going on.

    sometimes without drama there is no prosper.

    there is necessary drama vs. drama that helps (like relationships getting stronger...making an individual stronger)

    Drama can be a big learning experience..learning about yourself...learning about others...learning about situations...and so on.

    In life no matter what you do you will have drama.

    You have friends...there are benefits and disadvantages...the benefits you already know...the disadvantages can be "being used", "being lied to", etc...etc...and another example...is what you are dealing with now.

    Even though you say you aren't involved...you ARE automatically involved...because you are their friends....that's the downside of having friends.

    If you still want your friends...then you're going to be involved...sorry to say this...but it's true.

    The benefits though should exceed the disadvantages...

    We're all human...and many many people seek drama unintentionally (innate)

    Unhappy. If they were happy, they wouldn't waste their time trying to make others feel like them. lol
