Histrionic personality disorder
<https://www.webmd.com/mental-health/histrionic-personality-disorder> is
one of a group of conditions called "Cluster B" or "dramatic" personality
disorders. For people with histrionic personality disorder, their
self-esteem depends on the approval of others and does not arise from a
true feeling of self-worth. They have an overwhelming desire to be noticed,
and often behave dramatically or inappropriately to get attention. The word
histrionic means "dramatic or theatrical."
