One more round about Drama
What is the functional explanation for like or dislike of drama? Traditionally Beta's are seen dramatic but then e.g. ESTps here tend to say they don't like drama. Is drama Fe? Fe with Se? ENFps are also called dramatic by others but not by others.
Do you like or dislike drama and why? What's your type?
I have lately found that I like drama. It seems when I'm too long without any drama in my life I start to feel kind of dead inside. Even though every time the drama ends I feel kind of relieved, eventually too stable life starts to bore me. I am always like "wow, good its over! It was getting heavy!" but then soon "umm..isn't this kind of life boring? time goes by, death is drawing near and I'm just doing my daily routines...argh!". I have noticed that I tend to subconsciously create drama where any isn't and am kind of annoyed if someone tries to downplay it instead of playing along. Like at work we face some problem and I'm like "ZOMG! DAMN! OMG! DOOM!" there is always someone who tries to be all calm like "no need to worry. I'm sure it is easy to solve" which kind of puts me into "blah" mood. Some other people play along better like "YES WE NEED TO IMMEDIATELY FIGURE OUT A SOLUTION! ZOMG ZOMG!" which I like better. Then we can dive passionately into solving the problem.
How do you see this issue? I'm a bit bored right now which might show, heh.

I'm very similar. When it's over, I'm relieved but then I get bored again. If I get too bored, I start creating imaginary scenarios in my head for things that might happen. Either bad or good but always dramatic. And like you, I prefer the dramatic approach to solving problems over the overly rational "we can fix this easily" approach.

Drama between other people/groups of people is fun, hilarious, and interesting. If it involves me, however, then they just need to get over it.
If it involves some sort of :Te: -oriented situation or event, then everyone just needs to get over it. Nothing is so important that it can't sit for awhile, and that will usually yield a better solution. Getting all up in arms about something is a great way to make me not care about it.

I prefer people who go "YES WE NEED TO IMMEDIATELY FIGURE OUT A SOLUTION" over those who can't see that there is a problem and/or are just oblivious to the urgency.
I also prefer to seek out drama only in the form of Kdramas. Just being in a relationship with a drama queen is very draining. But I have to be wary of myself when everything remains the same for too long and I become restless... desperate for change or a tense situation. I start looking for people to kidnap, and if I fail to find an adventure buddy, I become self-destructive and create problems for myself by either doing too much or too little. Unintentional creation of drama, for me, often coincides with :Se: dual-seeking.
I've been known to write with no small amount of drama, though. I think it's due to :Ni: perception coloured with :Fe:
