However, in situations where they feel out of control (such as the end of a relationship), they usually react with inappropriately strong emotions and are actually comforted by even the negative attention this draws to them. They are also often narcissistic and manipulative. A handy mnemonic for the condition is PRAISE ME:
* Provocative (or seductive) behavior
* Relationships are considered more intimate than they actually are
* Attention-seeking
* Influenced easily
* Speech (style) wants to impress; lacks detail
* Emotional lability; shallowness
