Histrionic
People with histrionic personality disorder are constant attention seekers. They need to be the center of attention all the time, often interrupting others in order to dominate the conversation. They use grandiose language to discribe everyday events and seek constant praise. They may dress provacatively or exaggerate illnesses in order to gain attention. They also tend to exaggerate friendships and relationships, believing that everyone loves them. They are often manipulative.

Right, so I'm manipulative, provocative and an attention whore. Well, we knew that anyway diva

1) If you were to take away title/position, take away hobbies, take away images imposed by others or self...and then answer the question: "Who are you?", how would you reply?

2) If you were to void station and status in life and consider what it is that motivates you to sit up, place your feet on the ground and get going every morning. How would you respond to the question: "What's your motivation?"

1) I am a statistic, another human being with qualities no better than any other. I have my skills, and I have my flaws. As does any other statistic.

2) My motivation is hope.

1 - Take away everthing that makes me, me.. and whats left is what I AM (if that makes sense), pure n unrefined!!!

2- Motivation... i'll hv 2 say - To exist just for one more day.

I like your motivation Cherry ✅

But I think it is more of a wish, to exist for one more day. By motivation, what would actually make you exist for another day? What would be your incentive just to continue breathing?

1) I'm a test tube where a lot of chemical reactions are occurring.
2) My motivation is that maybe someday I'll be able to change something in this world

My answer to question one: In this place, a baby at first. Or at the point before the creation of self overtook the reality of self within the self. 🙂 Pure. That's not to say that every aspect of how we act is totally due to the created self. Our pure nature will always curve the bent of our nature and that reflects in everything we do. Both in pain and in love. The created self, the ego, the ID is the self that holds title/position, hobbies, images imposed by others or self as a defining tool to 'self'. Ones self does not by nature require definition. You are that you are. Nothing more nothing less. The question then becomes; why is it we did not simply 'be'?...what is it within us that doesn't know what it is and seeks outside definitions?...a creation of self perhaps?. Could the quest for such things be seen as false and if so is that a reflection on the created self itself?

Anyone out there ever feel like they can adopt a personality to suit their environment? Maybe your self at work is completely different from your self at home?. When you're out drinking with friends you adopt a different version of yourself than say...when you're at home with only a few close friends?. If so have you ever noticed the point of change. That exact moment in where you decide 'get in this mode' for want of a better description. Or feel the point of release when you let the 'mode' go? That point where you let the tension out of your shoulders, breath out, and fully relax. If you know what I'm talking about then did you ever take notice of the self that decides to adopt the shift in persona and the self that decides when to drop it? And again if so is that the self you most guard inside you or the self you most display?. (Heh heh) 🙂

And for question two. Love.

i'm sure this has been uttered oodles of times in this board, but...

and I am paraphrasing...

"the only reason we die, is because we accept it, as an inevitability. {high, shocked exhale}"

1) I am what I have to be
2) This is where I am now

1) I do not know, I am not sure. I could just tell you my personality, and that could cut for an answer

2) My friends and my will to do everything accomplishable and my yearn to be better than everyone else.

I am...an overly shy 18 year old girl who finds it very hard to talk to people she doesn't know, but still likes to meet new people.

My motivation is to live life to it's fullest, and to prove wrong everyone who has told me that I can't do something.

And my results from the Personality Disorder thing...😮

I think that's kinda good 😖

Mine's kinda contradictory...says I don't like to be around others, yet I like to be the center of attention.

...and oddly enough, both are true 😖

well it really depends........most people would say that im a quit person who keeps to himself but when he is in conversations is very active and talkativei have secrets that i hide from everyone deep secrets and im a hopless romantic............but thats not who i am on thi inside ....on the inside im a brave warrior where trouble is likely to follow and always eager to defend his opinion freinds and emotionsolbut even inside theres a scar of sadness that is never looked upon

1. without all those things everyopne is exactly the same, its these differences that make us unique.

2. most people in the world are driven to work by money, that is what motivates them to do anything.

I am an eccentric, compassionate, dancing, traveling teacher.

My motivation is: "Who will I meet today?" and "What interesting things will I learn about them?"

1) I am what is left after taking away the stuff that people make me.
2)My motivation for everyday is different.It could as small as a new JLU episode or as Big as moving from place to place...

1) I am a novice.
2) I live to learn.

a) A worrshipper........
b) Motivation.........well, I love to LOVE! 😛

who who who who i really want to know
