10 Symptoms of a Histrionic Personality Disorder
Symptom #9: Exaggerating Relationships
At any one point, we are likely to have numerous friends and acquaintances. Some of these will be closer than others, ranging from people you just happen to work with to those with whom you are in an intimate relationship. Usually both parties will understand the nature of their relationship with each other, but not always.
For people with histrionic personality disorder, it can be easy to exaggerate the level of intimacy in their relationships with each other. It can be easy for them to believe that certain relationships run deeper than they actually do, potentially reading intimacy into even passing acquaintances. It has the potential for some very difficult misunderstandings that can be damaging to all involved.
