Minimal and unemotional responses seem to work best with somebody who is acting overly dramatic. Typically a diva wants to stir up drama. When you don't give them that, they don't have much to work with.

I need my personal experience the best way Tom deal with a diva is to either walk away. Failing that. Try to make them see the bigger picture. Show them that there is more to it than just what they are seeing.

In my opinion I suggest you respond to that person's words and actions in a neutral way as possible. What do I mean by neutral? I mean by not expressing any feelings in your words and actions. Don't try to fight that person because that person will be more of a diva than ever. Don't accept it and submit under that person's diva personality. What I mean by that is don't treat her like she's the center of the world. That will only add fuel to the fire. If that person says something or does something that indicates a diva then just interact with it by treating that person like a normal person. I know it would be hard to ignore that person. It's gonna be hard putting up with a diva. Don't give up try to be neutral as possible.

indifference is your answer. you don t want to lose your chance because someone's behavior affects you. in the end, no one really cares about you, than the family. so let her make her own show.

Understand it. By using the word 'diva', it's clear to see you feel negatively about it. Try to understand why you do feel this way, and what you need to do about it.

There are a few definitions of a Diva, But I assume you're using it in a disparaging manner and to refer to those who act entitled, Narcissistic. Whether it is in the workplace, or at home, you have to settle a Diva down by telling them EXACTLY what is distasteful about their behavior, and then set some boundaries for them. This will make it extremely clear to them about what they're doing and now you have a clear line in which they should not cross.

When someone acts as though they are a "diva", they are deflecting off of themselves and onto you. :) When someone acts like this, the best thing (imo) to do is to humor them or to express to them how it makes you feel. If they do not respect your feelings, they are being very toxic towards you.

Confront them about it and ask them why they are acting this way. Maybe the person is trying to hide their real feelings by putting up an act. Tell them that it’s bothering you and talk it out.

The first suggestion i could say to be the best way to deal with this is to try your absolute best to accept every individual for who they are. You may not like to be around this 'kind' of person or character and there is nothing wrong with that but, it would be totally unfair to treat them any different from anyone else. If you find yourself getting annoyed or uncomfortable to be around someone whom is acting like a diva, the next best thing to do is to walk away.

Just ignore them. They aren't worth your time or effort. If they want to continue to be a child for your attention , then just leave it alone.
