Histrionic People Suck

If somebody has a personality disorder, they need therapy to overcome it. Therapy and self-help books do help a lot. These books are what I have used to beat my own personality issues as a possible avoidant at one point in college. I also read about paranoid personality since back then I had trouble actually trusting people. Histrionic people exaggerate and act in a theatrical manner designed to get attention from other people. In fact, I’d almost say that I stay away from them. Or at the very least I try to. They make me nuts because they are exhausting to deal with. Just like dealing with a narcissist who has histrionic and borderline in one person.

This makes me crazy. This definition is something I have to avoid. I cannot be around people with personality disorders. They do not take change well. They stress me out. I’m not going to be pushed around by them. These are people who are troublemakers and bullies sometimes. Not so much avoidants like me. I’m not a borderline but an avoidant instead. Personality disorders are learned behaviors. They can be unlearned through therapy. At State, I had a therapist in school.

She helped me figure out how to trust people again. My roommates were busy screaming at me all the time. As a domestic violence survivor, this was very triggering. I stay away from people with personality disorders. Looking back, the worst roommate may have been histrionic because her fights with me consisted of her screaming at me. I have to stay away from this person the rest of my life. I’m even more terrified of Los Angeles than usual because she lives there. I’m going to have to stay away from her somehow. I’m doing okay otherwise, and I’m surviving daily. My C-PTSD flashbacks aren’t so bad.
