Dramatic

I was just talking to my Mom, and I asked her if she expected help from me on something. 
She said "I don't expect anything from anyone anymore.  That's how one of my friend lives her life, and it's the right way to." 
A while back, my Mom said that I was "overly dramatic" about things.  Seriously?  Please.  I'm dramatic but you're not?
I am dramatic, but I think a big part of it is that people are so into hiding their feelings all the time that it's just a comparison thing.  What I am is more open about what I'm feeling, no matter how ridiculous it looks to others.  If anything, I'm just not afraid of ridicule.
