Hysteroid is just a personality type, not a psychiatric diagnosis, there’s nothing wrong with that. Like every personality type, the hysterical one has its own strengths and weaknesses.

Most often, hysteroids are women. There is no sexism, this is simply due to the characteristics of the psychosexual development of girls and their relationship with their dad.

You can often identify a girl with this characterology by loud laughter, bright clothes and theatrical (that is, emphasized) gestures. They live by a thirst for attention and the performances they put up for this (in the good and bad sense of the word).

They are justified in being accused of egocentrism, because it seems to them that the world was created to be at their feet. They are addicted to admiration, recognition and undivided attention. In order to get the above, everything is used - up to fainting, theatrical sighs and feline, emphatically sexual plasticity.

But don’t blame them for this, they themselves are not aware of what they are doing. Their psyche displaces both bad and good ideas about themselves into the unconscious. Therefore, the istoroid lives in ignorance of itself. That is why he so needs feedback from others - to understand what it is: “good?” "beautiful?" "clever girl?" Without this feedback, hysterics feel uncomfortable living.

And for the same reason (due to lack of feedback and repression) they are prone to inventing anything about themselves and lying. This is a harmless lie, since they sincerely believe it themselves.

Another scourge of hysterics is short memory, which is expressed in optionality and irresponsibility. You shouldn’t be offended by them if they promised something and instantly forgot about it, make allowances for their defense mechanism of forgetting.

These were features that we perceive as negative, but there are a lot of positive features that arose for the same reasons (see above)

The tendency to present yourself is a huge plus in the presentation and sales of any ideas, products and plans. They are excellent assistants for those personality types who have difficulties with presentation, but do not have difficulties with depth and consistency (for example, schizoids).

Creative professions are filled with hysterics - this is their element (artists, presenters, designers).

A few ideas that will help channel the energy of hysterics into a peaceful direction:

1. Be an observer of your life. Ask yourself the questions “Do I like what I see?” “Am I judging myself?” and the like. Record your observations in a journal. This will develop your love for yourself and help you understand yourself better. The external assessment that you strive for may not always be pleasant, so in order to protect yourself from indifference and flattery, learn to observe yourself and evaluate yourself.

2. If you have already learned to observe yourself from the outside and, as an observer, you notice that you are “carried away” and you have “caught a star” - try to restrain yourself, because such behavior can have a bad effect on your relationship with your loved one, colleagues and career in general.

3. A good technique for developing observer skills and regulating your emotionality is to “play gray mouse.” Try being quiet, listening more and talking less. But don’t be too zealous, otherwise they will think that you are in grief or that you are sick - then attention will fall on you again. And your goal is just to learn not to be in the ego center as usual.

4. Your sharp mind, sharp tongue and attentiveness can cut down those around you with a sword. If you notice some mistake (for example, in the behavior of a girlfriend), do not rush to tell everyone about it. Such glory in contrast is not your way. Before speaking, try to think about how to say this personally and not offend the person.

5. Fight your manipulations. You're so good at it that you don't even realize when it happens. To track manipulation, ask the question “Do I really want this?” “Is what I’m asking even appropriate?” “How can I reimburse the service?” “Is the way I communicate this a healthy way?” “Am I using flattery, pity, blackmail or guilt?” In your diary, write down when you managed to stop yourself and the times when you failed. Nobody wants to deal with manipulators. You don't want people to avoid you?

6. Promise less. Before you promise anything, ask “is this real?” Knowing about your forgetfulness, use any tools to remind yourself (on your phone, in a diary, ask others to remind you)

7. When you are criticized, instead of attacking the critic, think about what is being said that is true. Accept that you are imperfect, and accept criticism with gratitude for help in correcting shortcomings.

8. Knowing your gullibility, take measures to protect yourself from scammers. Stay away from everything magical and gambling. When making decisions, look for advisers so as not to make decisions without outside consultations and not get involved in some kind of scam.

9. Direct all your wild creative and expressive potential to professional achievements, and at home, take off your masks and relax. Your family already loves you; you don’t need to win them over or prove anything to them; they also need to rest after work, the endless theater is tiring.
