Drama queen
Significado: A person who exaggerates situations and reacts with excessive emotion to minor events.
A 'drama queen' turns every small inconvenience into a major crisis. They thrive on attention and create conflict where none exists. While traditionally applied to women, the term is increasingly used for anyone who overreacts dramatically. American reality TV has made 'drama queen' behavior both criticized and celebrated.
