Whether it's {{Fainting}}, hysterics, [[BadBadActing acting like they are in a second rate drama]], or hyperbole to the point of ''bursting'' from it, the characters just live to be over-dramatic, even to the point of LargeHam.
Even if not everything is a crisis, when it is a crisis, it is more important than anything else could possible be. They could be in the hospital, but who cares about the guy with the broken leg? ''Their hangnail is bleeding!''
Although this is usually PlayedForLaughs, the term actually started as a nickname for [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Histrionic_personality_disorder Histrionic personality disorder]]. Yet over time, people would use the term, [[SelfDeprecation even about themselves]], to describe people who were just being dramatic all the time.
Teens are sometimes portrayed this way, often overlapping with BrattyTeenageDaughter. But this trope isn't exclusive to women. Guys can do this a lot as well, but this term is still used to describe them.
