I was once involved with someone who faked ptsd flashbacks to the war in vietnam when he was provably taking photographs for a local newspaper in Canada. If someone deliberately throws themselves into an emotion, or 'flashback' so that they can then act out their faked emotional state, I am not really sure where the distinction lies.

what does 'primarily' mean and who gets to decide. What if it is fear or anger about something else entirely that then gets acted out in a different arena?
I don't see this nearly as cut and dry as you do in all cases.
