Girl on Girl Action

So I noticed something the other day, when talking to a girl about some drama with one of her friends(er... 'friends'). She said they weren't talking, and she wasn't asking her to hang out, and every time they saw eachother, the other girl would say as little as possible to her and avoid eye contact at all costs, so I got to thinking: what part of this is friendship exactly? I know for a fact that having that person in her life was destroying her, but is it really so hard to let go of something like that? Honestly, none of it was surprising to hear at all because it was just an extension of what their relationship had been all along: a battle for superiority. One gets dirt on the other, gossips it around until the other person notices(belittling your opponent), and once one know that the other knew what she did, it was one off-handed remark that would just set off the first and set them into the 'fighting' stage(so what I just described was their friendly periods). Once the other had nothing left to use as a weapon, she just picked up the friendship and used that. One is still clinging on to the ship while the other is burning it to the ground. Honestly, it's beyond psychotic to observe, yet it happens all the time as if it were a totally acceptable(or even sane) thing to do.
I think it's a product of television dramas, where people subconsciously(aka unknowingly) act out the roles of the characters to some degree in the hope that it will produce the same feelings that the show did, forgetting and leaving out all the bad parts, of course.
Drama is not good to partake in, ever. It honestly all seems like good fun, but you already know how it ends. Drama is taking a group of perfectly happy people and giving them the idea that only some of them can be happy at a time. The result is apparent everywhere drama exists, look for yourself.
