Histrionic Personality Disorder is characterized by the lifelong inflexibility in personality. A person experiencing this will desire attention, appear dramatic or strong, may be easily influenced, have emotions that change often, and believe that their relationships are close when they may not be.

Other symptoms include having a preoccupation with physical appearance, preferring having a lot of attention, talking dramatically, inappropriate sexual behavior, and provocative behavior. This can be a difficult experience in the world and people often do not know why they feel and desire these things. They may struggle with control and others may have a hard time identifying with them.
