Here's a section directly from a book I just got about this subject.
Self Help
If you recognize Histrionic tendencies in yourself, the following exercises will be very difficult for you, but they will make a difference.
Let your thoughts be your guide. First, learn to recognize the difference between what you think and what you feel. Try to make more choices based on thinking.
Do Things for yourself and by yourself. Try it. You may come to like your own company.
Ask for what you want. Everybody takes; it's a law of nature that no amount of good intentions can repeal. It's far better to be aware of what you want and ask other people to give it to you. It's not selfish if you say please and thank you.
Openly disagree with somebody every day. Say it nicely, but say it.
Banish the phrase I don't know from your vocabulary. Try not to space out when people ask you tough questions. The things you need most to think about are always the ones that are most difficult.
That last one really applied to my HPD a lot.
