Kentucky Derby Brings Out The Mental Illness In Individuals.

Their Outfits Are An Attempt To Say To The World

"We Need Help, We Are Sick"

Tradition my ass.

These individuals who wear flamboyant headgear have a form of mental illness, even though most of society passes on labeling this as such. These individuals are an example of what presides in our lives as normal and allows them to parade around with their mental behavior on full display. Very similar to the Drag Queen parades and affairs.

Attention-seeking behavior can appear as acting out, excessive displays of emotion, or continuously seeking praise and affirmation. There may be an underlying cause for attention-seeking behavior, such as a personality disorder in adults. In some cases, this type of behavior may be an attempt to seek help or support.

Wherein lies the issue of individuals who adorn themselves with outrageous headgear solely for the purpose of attention. Why else would people do this?

What mental illness is associated with attention-seeking behavior?

Histrionic personality disorder (HPD) is characterized by a pervasive pattern of attention-seeking behaviors and a theatrical level of emotional reactions. The condition is usually life-long, though onset is typically in late adolescence or early adulthood.

These sick people are fishing for compliments by and seeking validation (ie in the form of fashion), being controversial to provoke a reaction. Exaggerating and embellishing attire to gain praise.

Nokie Says

C: These attention seeking whores need to be scheduled on a weekly basis to get mental therapy.

C: Come on man, just look at the faces of the above pics, can't you see it in their looks? Don't you see the illness in their faces, expressions.

C: Personally, I would not attend a Kentucky Derby even if it was free. I have my own issues about being around so many mentally disturbed individuals in a setting where they are accepted as normal.

C: Do you think these individuals believe this is fun? Spending time and money on attaining a gaudy head piece to decorate themselves with... Haven't these people got better things to do?
