Quite HPD?

Postby SarcasticSnowflake » Fri Feb 09, 2018 7:29 pm

Are all HPD's extroverted or is there such thing as a "quite/introverted" HPD?

I see a lot of traits of HPD in myself, however they are much more subtle than an "extroverted" HPD. I always have the need/want for attention and drama and have a chronic boredom in me. I also tend to attention seek online posting pictures of myself for compliments or starting arguments online when I'm bored to get attention. I tend to stay away from the spotlight though and don't like to go to parties or large social gatherings. In other settings though I get very upset if my family members or especially my spouse doesn't make the center of attention. If I don't get the attention I get very depressed or will do something, anything to get the attention even if it's just negative but I do it in a more subtle way and only when i'm in a home or more private setting (if that makes any sense at all).

Sorry if my English is poor it's not my first language.
