Core Traits Of Histrionic HCPs
- Histrionic personality disorder centers on a relentless drive to be the center of attention and dramatic, emotional speech.
- Those traits often include exaggeration, superficiality, and public accusatory behavior that can harm others' reputations.
Fear Of Being Ignored
- The core fear of histrionic people is being ignored; they act as if they'll 'die' without attention.
- They visibly fidget when others take center stage and will interrupt or manufacture drama to regain focus.
Parent To Reward Everyday Behavior
- Praise and reinforce ordinary, positive behavior to avoid teaching children that only drama wins attention.
- Avoid exaggerating a child's role or treating them as 'special' to prevent reliance on dramatic attention-seeking.
