Anomalies in Emotion: Dramatic Action
Dramatic behavior is a negative branch from the tree of “Emotion”. As written earlier, emotion is and of itself meant to be attended to. If the base emotional need is not met, further measures are sometimes administered. Take an interaction I had with a former female friend: (An acquaintance: no intimate encounters and a few light advances I made were swiftly rejected prior.)
Female: “I don’t know Sean; I want to get fucked. I don’t know why it is so difficult to find someone…”
Me: “Well if you wanted to have sex, why not look for someone strictly for that?”
Female: “I know I can go to a bar and do that. I want to find someone who will make love to me, and we’ll fuck…”
I am paraphrasing of course, but this was presented to me several times when we would hang out. She sounded extremely nervous and uncomfortable making these proclamations to me, which is the opposite vibe from any preface to an amorous encounter. As a problem solver, I suggested she stopped looking for her “superman” and mingle with a regular guy if she needed “it” so badly.
The expletive “fuck” indeed came out of her mouth in describing the act, furthering the “tease factor” of the situation. If a lesser male were in my place, the reaction to such language would lead onto a blatant pass on the female. This would be the proper reaction given the dramatic scene I had witnessed.
In closing, dramatic actions and speech can make you a pawn in an emotional chess game.
