Extreme fear of drama! Person or persons that live with the constant fear that drama will find them has dramaphobia. Drama is everywhere, and it`s common for people that experience dramaphobia to never want to leave their house, or have friends. Not to be confused with depression, dramaphobia doesn`t make people want to harm themselves, only others!
I can`t go anywhere without drama stalking me, and I live in fear of it finding me, and harming me. I wish meds existed for dramaphobia. Can drama die, and can I kill it in self defense by claiming to have dramaphobia? Please diagnose dramaphobia as a mental illness, it exist, just like drama exists.
