DDLC Theories

The Character's Problems Part 2

We're about to go where everyone else wasn't willing to, to talk about the things that really matter.

So here's how things are gonna go down:
We're going to start off talking about each of these individually, first Sayori, then Natsuki, and finally Yuri.

I want to talk about them as if they were real people because I can guarantee you that.

While you may not have this issue that these girls do.

Somebody who is reading this theory might have.

And I want them to know taht there are hope, and there are people who understand, and there are ways to process what's happening to them so that they can get help.

And for those of you who don't fall into the categories of being abused, of being depressed, of inflicting self-harm, that doesn't mean that this can't help you too.

It just means this can be important for you to help others in the future.

So hopefully this theory can act as a sort of guide for you to show people that they are gonna be OK and they are not alone.

Plus there's a message to be learned from the examples given in DDLC, a lesson that's good for all of us to know.

Let's cut the talk and get into it!

I know what Sayori is feeling in these bitter moments when she finally breaks down in front of us and expresses her true feelings.

And perhaps, you do to.

And maybe you don't know how to deal with them, so just like Sayori, it feels easier to keep them bottled up, worrying about how your emotions would affect others instead of focusing on what you needed in that moment.

Those people that Sayori is worried about letting down, that she's worried will be hurt from her true emotions, they are willing to support her.

That's what friends do. They support each other through hard times.

Sayori waited too long to express how she really felt. She let her depression eat away her mind for too long without the support and love of others.

Of course, part of this effect was sped up due to Monika's tampering, but the reality of unchecked depression is still there.

Sayori, in an effort to not hurt her friends, ended up in bringing herself to suicidal thoughts.

She needed help, and the first step was to reach out.

A step she never took for years.

As someone who has dealt wuth swirling, chronic, and shitty thoughts in the past, I can see clearly the steps Sayori missed in dealing with hers.

She let them fester, kept them secret, and worried about others instead of herself.

Okay so before we continue, we are just gonna go off topic for a little bit.
When I was researching I stumbled upon this.



I'm not taking credit for this theory. I just found this when I was finding a pic of Hxppy Thxughts.

I know it sounds weird and sad for me that Sayori is stuffing her bra just to impress MC says there in the pic. I can't explain why but just read that for you to understand.

So talking about it more, there's a part in my mind that tells this theory is wrong. If this is wrong for you tell me in the comments so that we can talk about it.

MOVING ON!

This issue of putting other people's perceived needs, not even needs they've actually expressed to Sayori, is inherently codependent.

She feels that other people need her to be happy, that they are essentially incapable of happiness without her.

And because of that, she must continually put a happy face and never confide in her friends what she truly feels.

The desire to fix other people's problems is one that can unravel your life if you don't keep it in check.

Regardless, while it can be very rewarding to help people and support others, but doing it at a detriment to your own mental health and putting your own needs second isn't good.

And that's exactly what Sayori is doing!

She's in a fragile state and refuses to put herself before others until it's too late.

Chronic depression might stick around, but it can be controlled and stabilized with the proper help.

Sayori was never in tune enough with what she needed, we can see her dismay in her writing, and these unaddressed issues led her down that dark, but preventable path.

FINALLY! Finished with Sayori! We've analyzed her from top to bottom.

Don't worry! It will be out tonight! The next subject is abuse!

So I'll see you in the flipside!
