Maybe you should speak to this person and ask them why they are acting in that particular way. However, if after your conversation they refuse to change in anyway, the best thing you could do is avoid them.

If you do not particularly like this person, I think it would be best to just avoid them rather then potentially hurt their feelings by saying something they may not want to hear.

Try to look past the diva moments and focus on the other parts of the person. If this does not work, try telling the person they are making you feel uncomfortable.

Keep treating them nicely no matter how much they bother you. Let them know you're a strong caring person! Don't be rude though !!

Try and keep your distance if they are irritating you. You can't change people, but you can change your response to them.

Make sure that you don't let them walk all over you, just because they are full of themselves. It's so important that you maintain your perception of yourself and not let their ego make you think worse of yourself.

Gently try to help them with their problems no matter what they seem to be acting like, because labeling them would be an assumption

Validate any accurate or adaptive perceptions they may have about themselves, and lightly challenge any possible delusions of grandeur by gently asking them to think about the behavior that seems diva-esque. Ideally, with some introspection, they will come to realize that some of their behavior and self-expectations are a bit unrealistic, without you having to directly shut them down on anything.

You can distance yourself from them. If you don't like the way someone is acting, you have the right to choose to separate yourself from them. If you don't want to deal with them, don't. If it's someone you care about and you aren't willing to cut them off, then kindly confront them on the issue you are having with them and explain to them how they could change.
