I was diagnosed when I was 20 along with other things.

      From the Wikipedia page:

      “Histrionic personality disorder (HPD) is defined by the American Psychiatric Association as a personality disorder characterized by a pattern of excessive attention-seeking behaviors, usually beginning in early adulthood, including inappropriate seduction and an excessive desire for approval.”

            It doesn’t tell anyone what it is actually like.
            Which you could have explained, since you made an AMA thread and someone actually showed interest.

            So here’s my question for this AMA, I guess: What are your favorite links and google search terms?

              You didn’t ask me what it was like you asked me what my life would be like without it which to be fair is a question I think about a lot. but if you want to know what it’s like. It’s very hard to live with, I can’t stand not having any attention and I’m obsessed with how others see me. I don’t have the same emotions as everyone else and I’m extremely in the present. The things I care are how can people notice me, who should I hangout with, how do make myself feel better now and what food should I eat. The future feels like a different country and the past is the past.

              “What is” was the question.

              Not “What is it like”, “What is your experience”, “What does having it feel like”, etc.

              So many people don’t know how words work.

              (Downvote because you don’t know how words work and the only thing you can do is press down because mad.)
