User talk:Cice/Surry


 * Surry may have a Histrionic personality : "The essential feature of the histrionic personality disorder is a pervasive and excessive pattern of emotionality and attention-seeking behavior. These individuals are lively, dramatic, enthusiastic, and flirtatious. They may be inappropriately sexually provocative, express strong emotions with an impressionistic style, and be easily influenced by others...The literature differentiates HPD according to gender. Women with HPD are described as self-centered, self-indulgent, and intensely dependent on others. They are emotionally labile and cling to others in the context of immature relationships. Females with HPD over identify with others; they project their own unrealistic, fantasied intentions onto people with whom they are involved. They are emotionally shallow and have difficulty understanding others or themselves in any depth."

Although keep in mind that in psychiatry something is only a "disorder" if it maladaptive, everyone has certain behavioral traits that define who they are. A good example of someone with an extreme histrionic that would be considered a disorder would be Gabrielle (Eva Longoria) of Desperate Housewives.
