10 Symptoms of a Histrionic Personality Disorder
Symptom #2: Obsession with Physical Appearance
We generally do what we can to look reasonably smart. Even when dressing casually we will still take some pride in our appearance, and we are likely to put in even more effort when going out in public. There is usually nothing wrong at all in taking some pride in our appearance, but it is possible to take it to extremes.
People with histrionic personality disorder are likely to have an obsession with their appearance. Their clothes need to be perfect and their hair and makeup need to be spot on. They can spend hours getting themselves ready and can feel very uncomfortable if they think they don’t look perfect.
