The warning signs of being addicted to drama. So what are the warning signs? Are you getting into arguments or picking fights for no apparent reason? It might be a sign you're experiencing addictive tendencies. Now this doesn't have to mean that your relationship is in trouble. If both partners are willing to make a conscious effort to stop the addictive behaviors, there's still a chance to have a great relationship.

What you need to do is recognize warning signs that lead to fights before they happen. So now we're going to go over some of the warning signs of a drama cycle starting arguments usually go in this order. You can also go over this in the printout that I provided you. One changes in body language like slouching, looking down fidgeting or pacing to changes in voice or language like raising your voice negativity being irritable or using hurtful words. Three, always taking what your partner says in a negative way for discrediting what the other is saying. Five, always bringing up the past six, saying things like you always or you never seven making hurtful comments.

At first, it'll be hard to recognize the cycle and stop it. Any addiction takes time, dedication and practice to overcome. Don't feel like you're bad if you catch yourself, that's what you want to do. The main thing is that you become more aware of these behaviors as they start to happen so that you can stop yourself before the addictive dose of adrenaline kicks in. The more you can stop yourself, the less you'll find yourself being part of the cause of drama. And once you become aware that you're doing it, the cycle loses its power.
