The Personality (disorder) Party
There’s one of each; histrionic, narcissistic, obsessive-compulsive, avoidant, paranoid. antisocial, dependent, borderline & schizoid.
The obsessive-compulsive is throwing the party, but is busy counting the amount of cups in the kitchen. People start to wonder where he is, then the histrionic volunteers to sing loud karaoke as entertainment.
The narcissist is making snide comments about how he is the karaoke master & that the histrionic sucks.
The borderline gets mad at the fact that the obsessive-compulsive is still busy counting & preparing things in the kitchen & decides to call up her boyfriend & dump him because she’s so mad.
The antisocial is charming the dependent & trying to get her to come up to his cabin in the woods for the weekend, she says she’d love to but she doesn’t want to be away from her sister for too long.
The histrionic then is angered when no one is paying attention to her singing, she screams, makes a scene & storms off. The narcissist then volunteers to show everyone his superb acting skills & pretends to have a heart attack, crying & looking surprised.
The paranoid is worried that the antisocial has possibly poisoned the obsessive compulsive & goes in to check.
The schizoid has not done or said much since being there & thinks about leaving early. The borderline then decides on a whim to go get burgers from Wendy’s for everyone & the paranoid escorts the obsessive-compulsive out & repeatedly asks if he’s okay.
The avoidant arrives late & nervously tries to explain why she was late & the narcissist snickers, the antisocial winks at the avoidant which makes her feel uncomfortable. The paranoid is then concerned with the schizoid’s silence & worries that he may have an ulterior motive. The borderline returns with the burgers & strikes up a conversation with the antisocial.
The obsessive-compulsive is now washing a stain that the histrionic by spilling a drink when she stormed off.
The avoidant & the schizoid share brief, but awkward eye contact. The narcissist tells the dependent that the histrionic should have had more control of herself & that he would never go off like that. The antisocial & the borderline plan a weekend together at his cabin, the paranoid glances nervously at the schizoid & antisocial. The histrionic has since left long, dramatic messages on everyone’s phone about what happened at the party.
The schizoid leaves, the avoidant goes to the bathroom & performs a breathing exercise. The narcissist explains to the obsessive-compulsive that he is washing the stain incorrectly & insists on showing him how it’s done.
The borderline is now on the phone with her now ex-boyfriend explaining her new found love with the antisocial.
The antisocial is trying to assure the paranoid that he has nothing up his sleeve, the paranoid does not believe him.
The borderline convinces the antisocial to leave with her & they leave.
The paranoid calls the borderline’s family & warns them that a “sneaky” guy is interested in their daughter.
The narcissist tells the paranoid to stop being so histrionic.
The obsessive-compulsive is at his wit’s end & tells everyone to leave.
The avoidant comes out of the bathroom & waves goodbye to everyone.
The dependent calls her mother to come & get her.
The obsessive-compulsive now has a headache. There is a long, awkward silence in the room.
The narcissist declares that he doesn’t need this & that he has better things to do & leaves.
The dependent’s mother arrives & takes her home, the paranoid worries that the dependent’s mother may be drunk.
The paranoid leaves, the obsessive-compulsive begins to clean the room top to bottom.
The (disordered) end.
Ignore the cliches & gender stereotypes, it’s just all in good fun.
