You mean, contagious for partners? Friends?
I can speak as a former partner...yes, I think we can "absorb" some of their traits, up to some extent. Then, it really depends on your personality if you'll retain those traits or not over time.
In my case I've borderline traits, so I guess I'm naturally inclined to have cluster-Bish partners and to absorb some of their traits (up to some extent).
To be honest, I find some of the histrionic traits I've absorbed from my ex gf to be extremely useful in social settings, like dating, partying, etc. Very useful! Perhaps I can go as far as saying that she "teached" me these traits, so maybe it's not a matter of contagion.
As for her negative traits...I didn't absorb them -- or, I didn't retain them over time.
Anyway, as I said, I think it depends on the personality of individuals that have to do with HPDs.

Well, when you are riding the hpd train, or more accurately, being dragged by it, you will sound like you're exaggerating as to try to get validation from others (especially those who have no rerference point for it) regarding what you are experiencing or have experienced.
