Optimism and expressing sexual and aggressive feelings all typify the behavior of persons with dependent personality disorder

The statement provided is not accurate. Dependent Personality Disorder (DPD) is characterized by a long-standing need for the person to be taken care of and a fear of being abandoned or separated from important individuals in their life. People with DPD tend to display needy, passive, and clinging behavior, and have a fear of separation. They rely on others for comfort, advice, and support.

Optimism is not typically associated with DPD. Individuals with DPD often have pessimistic views due to their fear of abandonment and their reliance on others for support.

Expressing sexual and aggressive feelings is also not a typical behavior of persons with DPD. They are more likely to be submissive and to avoid conflict. They may have difficulty expressing disagreement with others, for fear of losing support or approval.

In conclusion, optimism and expressing sexual and aggressive feelings do not typify the behavior of persons with Dependent Personality Disorder.
