Is it possible to have the symptoms of Histrionic Personality Disorder yet be a likeable person?

---

all the forums and blogs about HPD seem to be about how horrible these people are, but I most of the symptoms of HPD but I'm considered a likeable person for most of the time, except when I'm in full swing with my moods.
Maybe you have a less extreme case. When you are not in a mood, you are probably likeable. Remember that no one is likeable ALL the time, just as no one is UNlikeable all the time.  (+ info)

Has anyone gotten over a relationship with someone who had histrionic personality disorder?

---

People like this, I have learned the hard way, are ao manipulative, they are addictive. My relationship is over, but I'm still thinking of her. She made me feel so good, but I know it wasn't real. She always knew what to say, and what to do, to get me hoooked. If you've gotten past a relationship like this, what, more than time, did you do?
You have to put a note on your phone that says "Do not call her even if I am dying" because she doesn't care if you are, she only cares about herself. You have to cut them off, otherwise you will be doing this for 10 or 15 years! CUT HER OFF.  (+ info)

Can anyone give me any information on Histrionic Personality Disorder?

---

Please something other than wikipedia. Thank you.
I'm not sure exactly what you're looking for, but I'll give it a whirl.

Histrionic PD is in the "Cluster B" family of PDs. The essential feature invovles being "overly dramatic" and intently focused on being the center of attention at all times. The typical person with Histrionic PD is overly sexual, easily swayed by others, and emotionally shallow. Treatment generally invovles psychotherapy, but those with this disorder rarely present for treatment (rarely believe their condition is problematic in any way). It sometimes shares features with other PDs (particularly Borderline PD and other Cluster B PDs).  (+ info)

If you truly have a Histrionic personality you should work at it and do everything possible to get help/treated. A lot of people believe it will just go away by itself, when it's truly not the case. It will most likely only get worse.

Don't feel like a failure, you have a problem, and like all problems, there is a solution out there.  (+ info)

Do I have Histrionic Personality Disorder?

---

I am a 7th grader and in one of my classes I have a lot of friends in that class. I am considered the "class clown" because of my humor. This problem has been reoccurring quite a bit over the school year. Most of the time, in that specific class, I crave attention. I will go so far just to get attention. I will physically hurt myself just for it. Is it just me, or is there a problem there?
No one can diagnose a personality disorder for you over the internet, but it sounds like you are concerned about your behavior so I'd recommend that you speak with someone about this. Perhaps there is a counselor at your school that you could talk to? They may be able to reassure you that nothing is wrong with you at all (which is probably the case). Or, if they share your concerns they may refer you and your parents to a licensed psychologist who could be of more help.

Good luck to you.  (+ info)

You will need some counseling, and need to be "on your guard" for a long time. Its hard to tell somebody has this on just a first impression, but in a stressful situation it can come out.  (+ info)
