Why do people like to read drama online?

Exploring these things can give us the skills needed to be creative and imaginative. In an ever-changing world, having a creative and imaginative approach is so important for thinking 'outside the box' and coming up with new and interesting ideas and solutions. Online communication can lack the civility that exists when we're face-to-face, and this further creates unnecessary drama. "People get anxious and frustrated in online channels where they are more likely to experience people who believe or do things very differently," said Lampe. Some individuals might use drama as a means of seeking validation or a sense of self-worth. Being involved in dramatic situations could offer an opportunity to feel needed, important, or significant. The one who can't seem to let a moment pass without jumping into the spotlight? Yep, that's our first trait. People who thrive off drama usually have a strong need for attention.
