Histrionics have Rage! Where did you read that they don't?
And trust me I am diagnosed borderline so I would know the difference.
Again histrionic PD is many times confused with borderline PD (they are right next to eachother on the B cluster)
and many psychs are beginning to believe that HPD and BPD are manifested from the same dysfunction - and that HPD is just the more Narcissistic form.
Histrionic personality involves conspicuous attention seeking. (MIL + BIL)
Affected people are also overly conscious of appearance and are dramatic. (MIL + BIL)
Their expression of emotions often seems exaggerated, childish, and superficial.* (MIL + BIL)
Still, they frequently evoke sympathetic or erotic attention from others.* (MIL + BIL)
Relationships are often easily established and overly sexualized but tend to be superficial and transient.*
*
Behind their seductive behaviors and their tendency to exaggerate somatic problems (ie, hypochondriasis [see Table 1: Personality Disorders: Coping Mechanisms]) often lie more basic wishes for dependency and protection.* (BIL)
BBM: 2 HIP----->rage is not on your own list of symptoms of HPD that you posted (post #377). About the BPD; sorry to hear that but I bet you are high-functioning and have had treatment unlike our profoundly affected JA.
