You outed your trolling in post 9. I just pointed it out after you'd already made yourself the topic again. Btw . . . Histrionic personality disorder is characterized by constant attention-seeking, emotional overreaction, and suggestibility. A person with this condition tends to over-dramatize situations, which may impair relationships and lead to depression. Personality disorders are rigid, inflexible and maladaptive, causing impairment in functioning or internal distress. A personality disorder is an enduring pattern of inner experience and behavior that deviates markedly from the expectations of the individual's culture, is pervasive and inflexible, has an onset in adolescence or early adulthood, is stable over time and leads to distress or impairment. For a diagnosis of histrionic personality disorder to be given, five or more of the following symptoms must be present: * Self-centeredness, uncomfortable when not the center of attention * Constantly seeking reassurance or approval * Rapidly shifting emotional states that appear shallow to others * Opinions are easily influenced by other people, but difficult to back up with details * Excessive dramatics with exaggerated displays of emotion * Is highly suggestible (easily influenced by others) The recommended form of treatment for histrionic personality disorder is psychotherapy. Therapy with people with this diagnosis is often challenging because they may exaggerate their symptoms or ability to function. They may also be emotionally needy and challenge the boundaries set up by the therapist. More: https://www.psychologytoday.com/conditions/histrionic-personality-disorder
