Nowadays, people in society widely use social media, differing only in the platforms they choose. As a result, scandalous or trivial matters, or even issues that are not significant, often come to our attention, even when we don't want to know about them.

Not to mention the affairs of celebrities or public figures, who no longer need to hold press conferences or send out invitations for media to attend events. A simple post on Facebook or Instagram is enough to clarify news about themselves, and even unfollowing someone can become news.

In this context, on every social media platform, any topic that is intense, scandalous, or controversial tends to become drama that gets shared and sensationalized to the point where the original story becomes unrecognizable.

As we consume this content daily and in large amounts, it leads to users of social media developing emotional involvement, showcasing attitudes that reflect their upbringing. Moreover, it has given rise to phrases of this era, such as “strike back if struck” or “respond if insulted.”

The daily consumption of drama has created a deeper emotional turmoil within the audience, leading to heightened emotional engagement. Nowadays, if a drama isn't intense, it feels abnormal.

If there’s a video of a debate that doesn’t escalate to physical confrontation or harsh insults, it won’t be widely shared, leading to a sense that people are increasingly seeking intensity to vent their feelings.

Even on social media, where famous individuals or influencers face drama almost daily, simply because they are adept at “talking back” and believe in the mantra “respond if insulted,” they end up with momentary satisfaction but unresolved issues.

The best way to handle those who like to provoke on social media is to “not retaliate” and report the account. If you feel angry or think you might get upset, there’s no need to read or watch it. Just remember, “no matter how foul it is, it’s still foul; flowers will always smell sweet.”

Importantly, we should change our mindset to understand that “people do not need to express their opinions on everything, nor do they need to share every thought with the world.” Some may argue that it’s their right to do so, as it’s their personal space.

However, in reality, one must first recognize that while you have the right to express your opinion, you must consider whether your opinion infringes on someone else's rights. Always remember that personal space in the online world does not truly exist; once posted, it’s hard to erase.

Today’s society is rife with drama because people feel they are the center of everything, right or wrong. Everyone seeks allies for their views, and those who disagree become immediate adversaries, even though in reality, a coin has two sides.

How we perceive events depends on our personal attitudes, the social environment we grew up in, and our family upbringing. Therefore, we should not judge others or position ourselves as the center of everything. Otherwise, we will become accustomed to drama, making it a part of our lives, and our world will become increasingly harsh due to our own mindset.

Let go sometimes; do not immerse yourself in drama, and do not normalize the abnormal aspects of society. Just by doing this, the world you inhabit can become more beautiful than before.
