When someone is acting like a diva they are just doing it for attention most of the time. In order to get them to stop usually the best thing to do is ignore them.

There are a lot of different ways depending on how you want to do it. You could always be direct and just tell them, or you could just ignore them or do something subtle like roll your eyes at them.

Ignore the diva, it may sound impossible, but that's the best thing you can do, soon enough they will get bored of it

Divas will act like divas, because that's what they're supposed to do! Why would I even try to deal with them?

What I do is act like a diva right back. They realize you're imitating them, and most of the time it makes them stop.

Maybe you could spend some time reflecting on what makes you think of them as a DiVA? What are the things that they do that annoy or irritate you? In the moment its your choice as whether you choose to be around them or whether you feel it best to ignore them. Though I sometimes why are their reasons to be the Diva.

Let her know how she is making you and others feel. If possible, stop dealing with her - let her realize her own actions are driving away her friends.

Ask yourself what their motivation is for acting like this. Almost every time, it's a "look at me!" attention-grabbing mood. The best way to discourage this behavior is to give them the opposite of what they're seeking. If they learn that this behavior gets them ignored instead of the attention they're looking for, there's a good chance they'll change it!

The best solution is to never entertain them. If they are behaving like a 'Diva' It is best to simply ignore them and because they are attention seekers. If you give them the attention, the worse they'll get.

Deal like a diva yourself too! You're much smatter than you think. And what not can you do. Ask your heart, or hear your subconscious, to get to know the right answer.
