Actions That Don’t Work with Prima Donnas:

Stop describing why their reaction is too extreme and excessive. Prima Donnas are more concerned with being heard than being discreet and calm. They love attention.
The worst thing you can say to a Prima Donna: Asking them to be rational and putting them on the spot. Logical reasoning isn’t the best approach with this relationship-driven personality type. Prima Donnas seek the spotlight, but they don’t want to be on the spot answering detailed questions.
