Whoa. The crazy thing? I really do fit the profile of a histrionic person, and the fact of the matter is, I probably have that personality disorder. It fits me almost to a tee. So now the question is, what do I do about it? Well, all written advice on the topic pretty much requires habitual change. So I'll be working on that, even if I can't fully get rid of the problem, hopefully I can do a better job of being thoughtful of others and taking some of the histrionics out of my everyday life. The thing about these tests is, you have to answer them honestly and be willing to accept the results. Obviously it isn't professional but upon reading more about the subject, I was able to see in writing some of my personality flaws. I knew about these flaws before, and have been working to change them over the past few months. Hopefully this process can continue...it's just good to be able to put a name to the problem.
