I have never thought about it that way before! I think you're right that it makes people feel like they're important. Whrn I was little, I would play "office" and pretty much I wpuld pretend to type, shuffle around stacks of paper and pretend I had people demanding things of me. I loved it because it made me feel essential.

Perhaps that's why certain people gravitate towards drama. It gives them a place inside of something that feels big.
