No Drama, Please

I have been trying to isolate myself from certain people, who affected my life in many adverse ways in the last few years. It's very hard to keep them at bay, and stay away from their drama like lives. I don't want to be around people who like to have drama, going day in and day out. It's too stressful and I don't like it. Why stay upset all the time and keep something stirred up. I don't want that around me. I truly hope that these people will stop needing to contact me. I don't want to have to act ugly at them to get them to leave me alone.
