Cluster B Persons with Histrionic Personality Disorder* are characterized by a pattern of excessive emotionality and attention seeking. Their lives are full of drama (so-called "drama queens"). They are uncomfortable in situations where they are not the center of attention.

We have a leader with all of the Cluster-B rapidly moving to what used to be a full Axis 1 psychotic break and delusional thinking. Now, let's break this down as science sees it today (of course science doesn't count, but for shits n' giggles, let's play!)

Major Depressive Disorder (uni-polar) with no psychotic breaks or intense disassociation. I'd say these were all #bigPharma but drugs can only help depression, Anxiety and a bit of the OCD. Behavioral health is really the core answer. I write this because bottom line I know a bit

When I was in my early 20s I was hospitalized after what is now termed a Major Depressive event (nervous breakdown was the old term) and Borderline Personality Disorder, later changed to PTSD, ASD, OCD Spectrum with Trichotillomania and "Autism" Spectrum hyperempathy...and...

Mom was a non-malignant narcissist with histrionic, borderline and from another Cluster (C), Paranoid Personality. She was not malignant. She became increasingly anti-social however and had a lot of rage issues. Both parents were geniuses, Dad math/tech/sci; Mom: literature, art.

Not a psychologist or related nor do I play one. However, between the rampant mental illness and brain disorders in my family including me I have been researching them since my dad disappeared and given a classic Paranoid Schizophrenia diagnoses (wrongly). PTSD and Borderline.

I think people have to also have a learned or familial (genetic?) fear of what they perceive as potential enemies. There is something connecting to a pre-existing fear. I just look at the upcoming faces in the House versus Senate and all the glass ceilings broken. January, come!
The "browning of America" - the horror! Barter human slaves, oppress the native not at all white people and create some really good ideals meant only for land-owning married white males. US stole most of the border states from Mexico too. Immigrants when they needed the labor.
People are afraid of me and have been most of my life. I'm loud, opinionated and open my mouth when I see injustice. I have never raised my hand to a living person however (well siblings as kids) and choose MLK JR. style over Malcom X though both appeal to me at times! :D
He/She/Them/It schooled me, because you know, I just flap my uneducated inexperienced jaws. 8 followers. Do you smell Bot? I smell a bit of burning wires LOL

Thanks Desi! I really do need to evolve my understanding of life, truth, humanity and a press that's about as educated as my little toe.
We also can change how we see our pasts. This is all wisdom's early days flowing in as we grow and change and need to slow down for all kinds of reasons.

P.S. these kinds of to and fro twitter convos remind me of when Twitter was actually inhabited by real people. Thank you for that.

It may also be why sensitive/gifted folks are often traumatized and haunted. What's the other option? Shutting off. And that's where we are, we're shutting off our empathy and that makes me angry if I allow it. WE SHOULD BE BETTER BY NOW! Or so I had expected as a young idealist.

It's a need for simplification of systems and rules, and a breakdown of the Kafkaesque infrastructures humans built. We cannot scale to the needs of a world if we cannot scale to our own needs! /me looks for fairy godmother wand....

And that's iterative too. Look how I broke apart when I lost both husband, mother, physical ability to do work I love, loss of a home and social standing. Finding other people is the salvation, even if I can't interact closely as they're germ factories who don't get vaccines,

And beneficial to families of any kind. I think it was humorist/author Norah Ephron who wrote "children don't care if you're there and in terrible miserable, they just care you're there." LOL!

I'm pretty sure most humans don't have the attention span at this point to get to "information processing is its own skill" much less parse the meaning. And trolls are like Vegas conmen. You just don't see it 'til you've lost the game. :D

Hahahaha. I don't think we can. It's telling a child don't touch the stove, you'll burn yourself. What's the first thing most kids do? As soon as the burn heals, we forget our pain and go back to putting our hand on the stove. I just did it the other day (accidentally, but ha!)
