Do you have acquaintances who dramatize everything?
It’s like the children's tale of the boy crying wolf so many times that no one believed him when the wolf showed up. When everything is dramatized, you don’t know what is real or not. You don’t know when your empathy, or your help is required. I do my best to have empathy, but frankly there are people who have emptied my empathy bank with their non-dramatic dramas.
