What's your take on the whole "DIVA" behavior?

Apart from the real terminology of an operatic prima donna they can came across as hustles pretending to be amateurs in any aspect of life in order to control and win admiration. They are extravagant, affected and theatrical and believe their behavior sophisticated.

It does not mean they are insecure or have any serious psychological problems. Sometimes they are extremely shy or simply don’t suffer fools gladly. It’s just a temperament or ego like any other. Possibly attention seek at its best… Bette Midler, classic case of banality.

P.S After reading your last remark what surfaced in my mid was my sister in-law and a long term (if it’s possible) acquaintance. They are real “DIVAS” (sofredoras) to be precise- lacking rare and outstanding talent. And they just get what they want… And I feel like a complete idiot. I have the talent, but don’t know how to use it.

I think you need to clarify what you mean by "diva behavior," first off. My definition of "diva behavior" may be different from yours, so the conclusions we would draw might be vastly different.

I see "diva behavior" as being the sort of behavior that is very controlling and attention-grabbing, like the kind of stuff you see on the show "Bridezillas." Generally, this kind of behavior has a nasty edge to it, or at least a selfishness in that the "diva" has no care for the feelings of others.

What this behavior would tell me right off the bat is that I don't want to try to be friends with her. Maybe she's got deep-seated issues, or maybe she's just that shallow, but I don't care and I don't want to know. Maybe she was spoiled rotten as a kid, or maybe she was so beaten and abused that she thinks the only way she can keep from being somebody's verbal or physical punching bag again is to control everything. Maybe she's born with it, maybe it's Maybelline. What the behavior is telling me is that it's going to be hell to deal with either way.

A Diva is, for me, a reason strong enough to be the purpose of my entire life.

Not believing that I will have - ever - her as a lover, but she would fulfill my feeling and cause me the need of behaving the closest to perfection at her eyes (far apart from my existence).

I would become myself her Idol and die extremelly happy on her complete and total ignorance about me.

A diva brings to my chest the feeling of fulfilling me all holes.

A diva... is my dream angel ... living life, and beautifull, just for me to worship her values, her talents, her so special and unique gifts.

It tells me (opinion, remember) that they are insecure, lonely with low self esteem, very possibly trying to make up for shortcomings through demanding things of other people. Or it's highly possible that they are too thick headed to know better.

It means they are alkies and drug addicts. Real divas don't do that stuff. Like Deborah Harry, for example.

I see the other person that gives me pleasure, affection and companionship, even for a moment and makes me real happy.
