i'm wearied of playing football at a friction point

Why do I get the feeling that there's a swirling maelstrom of drama located about six inches to my left? Okay, the location is purely metaphorical, but the feeling is real: the feeling that something I don't know about is trying to sweep me up anyway. As far as I know, I'm currently living in a drama-free zone. But there have been times in the past when people notified me of some drama I had no idea existed which I was supposedly deeply involved in, so maybe it's just the memory of that making me slightly nervous now.

Then again, maybe it's the abdominal discomfort making me slightly nervous now. The body-mind connection goes both ways, after all.
