I'm curious to know what other NTs think about drama. Not like Grey's Anatomy drama where people are dropping dead everywhere and practicing infidelity like it's required to breathe, but more people turning mountains into molehills, or so the saying goes.
I ask because I exhibit the classic "shamelessly honest" trait that seems to come more naturally to us than to other types, and I have this one friend who seems to take every comment I say as deeply personal and uses it to rationalize her self-esteem issues. To me, this is both annoying and uncomfortable because I hate needless drama, but she keeps using whatever I say to feed it more. If it means anything, I'm fairly certain she's in ISFJ.
For other NTs, do you react the same way when it comes to drama? Or is this something that's more a quirk of mine than a trait of our temperament?
