Drama Queen

A "drama queen" is a colloquial term used to describe someone, often a woman, who reacts to situations with excessive or theatrical emotions, often amplifying minor issues into major crises. While their responses might seem exaggerated or melodramatic, it can stem from genuine feelings or personal tendencies toward heightened emotional expression. The term isn't necessarily negative but is typically used to highlight behaviors where emotional reactions appear disproportionately intense relative to the situation. Understanding this behavior involves recognizing individual emotional style rather than making assumptions about their intentions or character.
