If you have been following our Personality Disorder series of articles and quizzes you are familiar with psychopaths, and the Borderline, Paranoid, and Schizoid Personality Disorders. Now you have the opportunity to meet the Histrionic Personality Disorder. Histrionic persons crave attention just as I crave great coffee, fabulous sales and chocolate. They appear especially entertaining and attractive early in relationships, yet friendships with these individuals can become a burden very quickly. They can be demanding, emotional, shallow and smothering. Their interpretation of relationships is frequently flawed by a myopic view of themselves and how they relate to others. Histrionic individuals are frequently manipulative and seductiveness and can become exasperatingly dependent on friends and lovers. Do you know someone who may be Histrionic? Tell us about your experience. We are listening.
