Survival Tactics
Don’t feed the beast! Direct confrontation may fuel her further. Aim for deflecting or gently shifting the focus:
- Calm is Contagious:Reply with minimal reaction – no exclamation points, keep it boring & factual. Robs her of an audience.
- Playfully Absurd: Match her drama, but SO over-the-top ridiculous that it exposes her theatrics as silly.
The Gentle Nudge
“That sounds intense – suggest you pursue this as a full script for Amazon Prime. Looking forward to seeing it there, till then hold on to the details, no spoiler alerts now.”
Inner Motivations
The Histrionic Hen craves the spotlight and constant validation. This may stem from deep-seated insecurity and a fear of being overlooked. Escalating situations artificially gives her
a sense of importance and creates an illusion of being indispensable as everyone rushes to ‘calm’ her down. She might even believe her own exaggerated narratives, further
blurring the lines between reality and high drama. In their view, life is a streaming series, and they are its protagonist. Their actions remind us of our own yearnings for believing that our life’s story is the most interesting of them all, if only someone would tell it.
