Histrionic personality disorder (HPD) is defined by the American Psychiatric Association as a personality disorder characterized by a pattern of excessive emotionality and attention-seeking, including an excessive need for approval and inappropriately seductive behavior, usually beginning in early adulthood. These individuals are lively, dramatic, vivacious, enthusiastic, and flirtatious. HPD affects four times as many women as men. It has a prevalence of 2–3% in the general population, and 10–15% in inpatient and outpatient mental health institutions.
HPD lies in the dramatic cluster of personality disorders. People with HPD have a high need for attention, make loud and inappropriate appearances, exaggerate their behaviors and emotions, and crave stimulation. They may exhibit sexually provocative behavior, express strong emotions with an impressionistic style, and can be easily influenced by others. Associated features include egocentrism, self-indulgence, continuous longing for appreciation, and persistent manipulative behavior to achieve their own needs.
Individuals with HPD often fail to see their own personal situation realistically and instead dramatize and exaggerate their difficulties. They may go through frequent job changes, as they become easily bored and have trouble dealing with frustration. Because they tend to crave novelty and excitement, they may place themselves in risky situations. All of these factors may lead to greater risk of developing depression. Additional characteristics may include:
Exhibitionist behavior
Constant seeking of reassurance or approval - attention whore
Excessive sensitivity to criticism or disapproval - mad he got banned, spammed gay ebook
Pride of own personality and unwillingness to change, viewing any change as a threat - sees himself in right when he was a douche to everyone else and was wrong
Inappropriately seductive appearance or behavior - Convincing others to be gay with him, looks like a girl
Using somatic symptoms (of physical illness) as a means of garnering attention - his sympathy shit during ebook sales
A need to be the center of attention - even when banned wants attention
Low tolerance for frustration or delayed gratification - bans people he don't like
Rapidly shifting emotional states that may appear superficial or exaggerated to others - sad, happy, sad, comes out of closet, gay, happy, sad, little bitch
Tendency to believe that relationships are more intimate than they actually are - likes receiving instead of giving
Making rash decisions - again banning for no reason
Some histrionics change their seduction technique into a more maternal or paternal style as they age. - Wants better sexual favours for fun ranks.
