To think that people who constantly say “I don’t do drama” are always the most dramatic ones?

If you have to keep saying it, chances are, you are the drama.

Absolutely

also ‘I hate bullying’

They might not do drama themselves, they just stir up shit for everyone else !

Same as “be kind”. Always said by the most toxic people ever.

Yes, what they usually mean is "I want to be the only one doing the drama".

In my experience, those who spend the most time telling other people what kind of person they are, are usually the least self-aware of all.

Yanbu. See also I'm honest, I'm non-judgemental etc etc...

Well you know of course I'm not racist but...

Also those who say ‘I’m not racist but…’ and say the most racist things about immigrants.

@Ironfloor269 snap!!

Totally agree! See also people who say 'I'm speechless' and then proceed to gabble about their speechlessness so much you can't get a word in edgeways

It’s like people who say ‘I’m not being funny but…’

If you have to say it, then very likely you are.

Similar to “I always speak my mind”. No, you’re just downright rude!

Haha yes my sil is like this
she also likes to say she’s just honest and tells it like it is but if anyone says anything less than complimentary to her or disagrees with her she is in tears with her flying monkeys around her

I keep it surface level and pleasant and she slags me off saying I don’t make an effort with her 🤷 wonder why HUN

To add, she made and kept just the one friend from school/college/uni days and it’s not her it’s the other 300 or so people in her year at school/uni/college that were arseholes

I know someone who constantly goes around gossiping about people then bringing it back to the subject of the gossip, the conveniently ducks out of the fallout by declaring she 'doesn't do drama' but of course is front and centre to watch.

Oh God, massively. My partner always says, and I think genuinely believes, that he hates and avoids drama and is the most dramatic person I have ever met. (I love him loads and wouldn't change anything about him, but it's so true).

I firmly believe I hate drama myself, but somehow it seems to follow me, so maybe I am just the same.

Thinking about it, does anyone ever say of themselves "I fucking love drama, me!". I can't remember ever hearing anyone describe themselves like that .....

Yes, I see this on dating profiles and it’s an instant red flag. Same as them having a ‘psycho ex’.

Oh god, yes. It's like people who say on their profile that they "aren't interested in people with baggage". Guaranteed they have loads.

Yes I've noticed. Also, people who keep saying "I'm so laid back" are the most uptight. My mum often says "I love children." She was a bully of a mum. She just likes that children don't see through her as much as an adult.

Or sometimes I’ve noticed it means just shut up and put up with what I do. Don’t want any drama about it because I’m so selfish, I can do whatever I want and you mustn’t create any drama about it
