A pervasive pattern of excessive emotionality and attention seeking, beginning by early adulthood and present in a variety of contexts, as indicated by five (or more) of the following:

1. is uncomfortable in situations in which he or she is not the center of attention
2. interaction with others is often characterized by inappropriate sexually seductive or provocative behavior
3. displays rapidly shifting and shallow expression of emotions
4. consistently uses physical appearance to draw attention to self
5. has a style of speech that is excessively impressionistic and lacking in detail
6. shows self-dramatization, theatricality, and exaggerated expression of emotion
7. is suggestible, i.e., easily influenced by others or circumstances
8. considers relationships to be more intimate than they actually are

eek! I know a bunch of histrionics.

And also, I didn't know what that word meant when I got 56% Histrionic in a personality test... so thanks for the enlightenment.

I know some people with that "disorder" erm
I'm more the opposite really erm

Syren
I think a hell of a lot of people could be considered histrionic. Especially if the judgement is made by a person who is rather an introvert, about a person who is more of an extrovert.

I got 56% histrionic on that quiz....which is quite apt because even though I'm really shy, I also like attention. I'm odd.

I believe everyone could be considered histrionic. It's not as if no one has episodes. What is a normal human being anyway?

Hi, btw. stick out tongue

2 kind of describes me, but I only act perverted to make people laugh.

4 REALLY describes me. I'm always flexing my muscles so girls will notice them. Yeah I sound like a douche, but I still do it.

King of Anglia
Yeah, you sound like a complete prick.

Insomniatric
Well that's a little overboard.

That's really the only douchey thing I do.

I work hard to get the body that I have, if I'm gonna work that hard I at least want a couple girls to notice.
