If a woman has histrionic personality, they can be a hunter, but if a man has it, they can be antisocial...

Stating that "The main characteristic of histrionic personality disorder is that this person is living on a theater stage. They are hungry for attention and are fed with praise," Psychiatrist Prof. Nevzat Tarhan expressed that "In people with histrionic characteristics, the forebrain may not be mature enough. This weakens the ability to act by thinking and causes the person to act with their emotions and feelings."
Explaining that when the childhood of individuals with histrionic personality disorder are examined, it is seen that they experience love discrimination in the family, Prof. Nevzat Tarhan noted that these people can be hunters if they are women, and if they are men, they can be antisocial. Tarhan also pointed out that they sexualize everything other than sex.
President of Üsküdar University, Psychiatrist Prof. Nevzat Tarhan discussed the subject of theatrical personalities (Histrionic personality disorder).

Pretending is their natural state...

Stating that "The main characteristic of histrionic personality disorder is that this person is living on a theater stage. They are hungry for attention and are fed with praise,” Prof. Nevzat Tarhan continued his remarks as follows: "They are emotional. Pretending is their natural state. They exaggerate things. When a person with histrionic personality enters the community, they want everyone to be interested in them. They seek approval. When they do not get the attention and approval they want, they get sick, faint, and behave extraordinarily."

Sacrifice is a language of love...

Prof. Nevzat Tarhan stated that these people identify love and care with love, and that there can be love without interest, and Tarhan expressed that "A person who knows love correctly knows the languages of love. Gifting is a language of love. Physical contact is a language of love. Sacrifice is a language of love. Service behavior, that is, caring for a person when they are sick, is a language of love. It is a language of love for the spouse to take their time. However, these people think, 'My spouse should belong only to me, they should only do what I want and should not even love their mother.' Therefore, they have very jealous traits. They use their physical attractiveness very well.”

They enjoy seeing people falling out with each other...

Prof. Nevzat Tarhan stated that "When such people are having a problem, they faint, vomit, and they suffer from a pain. Their biggest feature is that they exaggerate everything. That is why it is called theatrical personality for these people. For example, these people can do a lot of things that will turn the workplace into a war zone if they are in a workplace. In other words, people fall for each other, they watch from the outside, they enjoy it." Prof. Nevzat Tarhan also explained that these people have a hunger for attention and a hunger for love in the background. They feel feelings like not being loved, and that they tend to eliminate the emptiness inside them as if they were in a theater play.

They do everything for their own benefit

Noting that most of such people among men are playful and have theatrical personalities, and that these people are hypocrites and self-centered people who speak differently at different circumstances, do not keep their promises, and lie a lot, Prof. Nevzat Tarhan said that "They do everything for their own interests. They easily enter all kinds of roles. They play the role of being very religious with you. With the other, he plays the role of a nationalist. Unfortunately, both the media and social media support this personality trait."

They sexualize everything but sex

Prof. Nevzat Tarhan stated that there are narcissistic traits in theatrical personalities, but their dominant characteristics are hunger for attention and self-display and expressed that "If these people are women, they become hunter women. Men are antisocial. They play the role of strength. They are masculine and vulgar types. There are lies and tricks in order to achieve the goal. They sexualize everything but sex... These two personalities find each other. They inflict violence on each other, but they cannot leave each other. Such people as antisocial and histrionics attract each other. They torment each other and are inseparable from each other. There is constant conflictual communication, and in such families, the children pay the price.”

They love to make a fuss...

Stating that such people love to cause disgrace, Prof. Nevzat Tarhan said that "When they do good and right things, it is necessary to approve them, but not to approve their wrong actions. They make their partner angry, and they enjoy it. If their spouse remains calm in the state of submission, they are pulling them from their playground to their own playground. Thus, they use their thinking brain. If there is love, conflictual communication in the relationship can improve."

He who marries these people is afraid of a second marriage...

Prof. Nevzat Tarhan stated that it is necessary to believe in what a histrionic person does, not what they say and Tarhan continued his remarks as follows: "If a person maintains a determined, consistent and disciplined relationship, they can abandon their wrong behaviors over time and establish a healthy relationship. However, it is necessary to be careful in dealing with such people. They can take the words they say and re-present them by embellishing and distorting them... Such relationships are challenging. A person who marries such people once is often afraid of a second marriage. In order not to get into trouble with them, so that events do not turn into quarrels and conflicts, it is necessary to act not with emotions, but with thinking. When angry, one's mind is disabled, emotions and feelings come to the fore. This can lead to a rise in voice, an increase in tensions and conflicts. These people are patient types and push the boundaries of the other party. They often exhibit sexual freedom and passionate behavior. They dress striking and glamorously, use their sex appeal to attract men's attention, and perceive this attention as a success. If you approve of their provocative behavior, these behaviors will increase even more.”

It is not possible for everyone to love you in life

Explaining that when the childhood periods of people with histrionic personality disorder are examined, it is seen that they experience love discrimination in the family, Prof. Nevzat Tarhan stated that "While one child is loved more in the family, the other child is loved less. In these cases, the little-loved child tries to build a coalition with the mother or father in the family. For example, a girl may side with her mother, and another child may take her father's side. In this case, children exhibit exaggerated behaviors to win the love of their parents. These behaviors are reinforced when they are approved and interested. Moreover, similar problems arise in children who received excessive affection in childhood but were brought up inconsistently in discipline. These children are constantly looking for love, expecting everyone to love them. However, it is not possible for everyone to love you in life. This situation leads the child to develop a love-oriented approach as a result of the excessive love one receives."

Healthy communication is essential for a secure relationship!

Pointing out that psychological approaches that insists on "love" have been questioned recently, Prof. Tarhan said that "Love is an important element, but healthy communication is also essential for a secure relationship. If communication is not healthy, even lots of love does not build trust. If you say 'I love you very much' in the morning and they curse you in the afternoon, this inconsistency will have negative effects on the child. Inconsistent discipline and abundant love can cause the child to become a spoiled and immature individual. Although these people are physically 20 years old, they are psychologically like 10 years old."

The forebrain may not have matured enough...

Noting that there are some innate biological differences between male and female brains, Prof. Nevzat Tarhan continued his remarks as follows: "These differences are also evident in the expression of emotions. For example, men can hide their hatred for 40 days, while they express their love immediately. Women, on the other hand, can hide their love for 40 days, but they cannot hide their hatred even for a day. They tend to express it immediately. These tendencies, when taken to the extreme, can exhibit histrionic properties. For example, if their spouse is emotionally sullen one day, such people may immediately express their negative feelings. When we look at the functioning of the brain, the left brain is associated with functions such as logic, reasoning, analysis, speech and calculation and is characterized as masculine. The right brain, on the other hand, is involved in functions such as emotions, excitements, music, art, and holistic thought and is defined as feminine. The forebrain maintains the balance between these two cerebral hemispheres. This equilibrium matures at about 22 years of age, along with puberty. However, in people with histrionic traits, the forebrain may not be mature enough. This weakens the ability to act by thinking and causes the person to act with their emotions and feelings."

These people act without thinking about the consequences

Stating that these people usually chase their wishes and act without thinking about the end, which makes them prone to addictions, Prof. Nevzat Tarhan expressed that "Constantly chasing desires leads to the brain being programmed in this way. When one request ends, a new one arises, which creates dissatisfaction and uncertainty. Uncertainty is one of the biggest causes of anxiety and anxiety. However, if a person focuses on their ideas and ideals instead of chasing their desires, it will be easier for them to manage these desires."

Prof. Nevzat Tarhan said that people with histrionic personality disorder mature as the years progress, but they also lose a lot.

Mindfulness is a critical first step in the treatment process

Stating that the process of diagnosing people with histrionic personality disorder can be carried out with personality tests and clinical observations, Prof. Nevzat Tarhan said that "Some individuals may say, 'I am like this, but I am not satisfied with it'. If the results are childish, we confront the individual. If the individual agrees, this awareness provides a 50 percent improvement. Awareness is a critical first step in the treatment process. Once awareness develops, we work on problem-solving methods. For example, when a conflict arises, we look at the reactions of the individual. If they have self-centered reactions, we work to develop empathy. We also focus on stress management. We teach more effective coping methods for those who tend to run away when faced with stress. Since communication styles are often wrong, we work to correct these patterns.

If the individual is open to changing themselves, the solution is possible. All these processes are linked to a person's awareness, communication style, and problem-solving skills. The ripening process is not easy, and people often go through this process through trial and error. However, smart individuals can improve themselves by benefiting from the experiences of others."
