Curate, connect, and discover
Histrionic personality disorder (HPD) is a mental health condition marked by unstable emotions, a distorted self-image and an overwhelming desire to be noticed. People with HPD often behave dramatically or inappropriately to get attention.
Be dramatic and extremely emotionally expressive.
Be persistently charming and flirtatious.
Act inappropriately sexual with most of the people they meet, even when they’re not sexually attracted to them.
Speak dramatically and express strong opinions but with few facts or details to support their opinions.
Think that their relationships with others are closer than they usually are.
Need instant gratification and become bored or frustrated very easily.
Feel underappreciated or depressed when they’re not the center of attention.
Have a “larger than life” presence.
Use their physical appearance to draw attention to themselves by wearing bright-colored clothing or revealing clothing.
Be gullible and easily influenced by others, especially by the people they admire.
Have difficulty maintaining relationships, often seeming fake or shallow in their interactions with others.
Constantly seek reassurance or approval.
Think that their relationships with others are closer than they usually are.
With Tomoha, to me, it seems like he believes they are closer than they really are. Also, with Gladiolus in the cell. But then again, I think he just acts close to everyone he meets.
Need instant gratification and become bored or frustrated very easily.
Says he joined Mateo because he was bored, and he seems bored of it now, which I think is from him no longer getting attention from Mateo, especially over Tomoha.
Be gullible and easily influenced by others, especially by the people they admire.
Thought/thinks of Rayne as his god, and it seemed/seems like he was willing to do a lot for her (or to even get to her).
Do I think this justifies what he did? No, he was a freak (in a bad way) and weird (also in a bad way). I do think that this could explain some of it though. Aka being the center of attention between the three of them, wanting himself to be looked at.
(Going in-between them in their conversation and making it about him, putting themselves in a life-or-death situation, not letting Tomoha sway him from his plans)
I do think this can explain some of his actions in all the seasons, and I do think he will keep displaying them after... well.. whatever happens.
I have no idea if Gressil having a mental illness/disorder is confirmed by Ms. Freaky, so I could just be putting info that is already cannon out there. But it's one of my headcannons if it's not confirmed, and you do not have to agree with it, or me. Just be kind, and everything, please.
The website I got the information from: Histrionic Personality Disorder: Causes, Symptoms & Treatment
It might not be correct, because it is the internet... so, I'm sorry if it is wrong in anyway
Anyway, I enjoyed this rant session, and maybe you did too :P
