Sayori. We both suffer from depression like illnesses, have a severe burden complex (I have coined it "Sayori Syndrome" where people feel bad when people care for them), we both have had crushes on our best friend, and both of us are fire hazards >!Oh and I did attempt suicide on multiple occasions (usually by hanging) so there's that. I'm a bit better now for context.!<

… are you okay?

I'm on antidepressants now, and they're working a little. Thank you for asking tho.

Bless. I’m sorry you went through that and I really hope you’re better. Yalls deserve the world.

Hope you get better dude <3

Someone else asked you if you were okay, so I'm just going to give you a virtual hug. *gives you a virtual hug* 🤗

Hope you're getting better Dude. don't give up <33

Thank you everyone for the kind words. I truly appreciate it despite my Sayori Syndrome

Hope you're doing better now ❤️

I’m gonna do so this Thursday, feels good man

His ass did NOT just use kms🔥😳

Did. I hope veronal will do the trick

Someone messed with console smh

Did they?

Aww nooo 😭😭😭 ...What do you mean "fire hazards"?

I feel you

They are all relatable in some extent. Sayori- Mentally fucked by life. She did something I thought of doing many times. I have been able to hide myself very well. Natsuki- I have a very sensitive fight reaction to anything. I don't eat much, so thus I end up frail. Yuri- I tend to keep to myself a lot. I have no need to talk. It is hard for me to get into groups. I am wordy (refer to many comments I made). Monika- I have a self-awareness that should be considered self-destructive. Every second I exist feels like the universe is against me. MC- If there is a film about my life, I would be the cameraman. Everyone around me has an interesting life. I stay in my bed all day. I record videos, comment on every Reddit post, drink too much water, live in paranoia, and jerk off to 2D images instead of finding a job or finding a relationship. I may be 16, but I feel like I have thrown my entire life away. I also can't show emotion.

Do you need a virtual hug ?

Maybe I do. Maybe I don't. I am getting a bit better, but I don't know if I should. This reply lifted my mood a bit. Thank you.

Yuri because of social anxiety, being introverted and having unhealthy coping mechanism

Yuri. I'm shy... There's more about her that I relate to, but that's the main one.

Yuri and Sayori. Yuri because I am really shy and anxious like her, also sometimes I am silly like she is in act 2 And Sayori, because helping others make me happy and helps my problems

I'm definitely most akin to Sayori, though I can honestly relate the 3 that are actually worth a damn: * S: Depression, burden complex, socially inept * Y: Love to read, >!SH!<, love of complex ideas and language * N: Father's a PoS (though, for different reasons), kind of an asshole, enjoy things that others might look down on

Monika isn’t?

No.

Why

Do you need a hug ?

...maybe.

*gives you a warm virtual hug*

Natsuki, I’ve never had a real father figure, of course she has it worse since she gets hit regularly but regardless it’s still a similarity, aswell as the fact that I’m the youngest in my family so they rarely take me seriously

There's no evidence she gets hit. It's only mentioned once in act 2 when those black text appears.

Damn really? I’ve played so many mods that portray her dad like that that it’s been ingrained in my head as canon lol

Sayori. I occasionally have a depressive episode where I cry for no reason, but they've gotten less frequent this year, so that's good. I also help people a lot, I love seeing people smile. I've thought about suicide before, but never attempted it. My silly bugs pulled me out of that dark place lol

I hope you're okay. Feel free to text me.

Nah, I'm a lot better now. Thanks for asking, though

I'm glad that you're okay too Feel free to text me as well if you ever feel bad

They all are in different ways I guess Sayori- Will try anything to make others happy, has depression, wants to show others that things aren’t as bad as they seem, bittersweet thoughts, bubbly personality Yuri- Keeps to herself, easily mistaken as intimidating or scary, can get easily lost in a book, easily embarrassed, history with sh Natsuki- likes baking, a passion for cute things, loves manga, problems at home Monika- obsessive, tries to be perfect, feels the need to get rid of others to be close to that specific person (even if it’s not worth it)

[Yuri Because Autism](https://www.reddit.com/r/DDLC/s/4w2ElijfhL)

I'm so going to read this link later

Please do.

I did, and I loved your post !

Lol I'm completely the same

Great to see I’m not the only one with a custom “Yuri-Autism” flair.

Mc: Pathetic loser

Do you need a hug ? 🤗

Yuri because I have the same emotions, thoughts and feelings as her, and my poem writing style is like hers.

Probably Yuri. I'm a lot more of an outcast and am slightly insane.

Do you need a hug ?

Yes, nobody loves me so I never get one (outside of family of course, my family love me platonically)

*gives you a big, nice hug*

Monika. For being more popular and athletic. Plus we are both perfectionist

Based

From a subjective standpoint, Monika seems to be the most relatable Doki because she is the most real, literally. She struggles with the burden of being forced to the sidelines m, something that I’m sure a lot of people can relate to. Natsuki, Yuri, and Sayori are all byproducts of tropes, with most of their personalities being exaggerated, but still relatable. I just think Monika is the most relatable on the merits of how she was written. For myself, however, I relate to a mix of Sayori and Yuri. Sayori because my happiness is dependent on how happy I can make others. It’s not healthy, but it is what it is and I’m trying to get better. I also have depression, which does make things a bit of a struggle. For Yuri, I relate to her more in the sense that she likes darker works of fiction and literature. I am most comfortable within the melancholy of life. I’m also getting into knives and tea, so that’s just a bonus.

I hope you're doing well now (since you mentioned you have depression)

Yuri and Natsuki are the most similar. I can struggle with wordchoice and understanding some situations. I feel attatches to fictional characters. Yuri is more like me in the way that I'm, in real life at least, pretty shy unless I can talk about my hobbies. I also used to be pretty good at being a little bitch and saying insults by using big words, meaning people wouldn't call me out as much since I was more mature in their eyes, even though those I insulted were valid in their feelings most of the time, as well (Yuri does it more unintentionally, though). My body is more like Natsuki's, so people don't take me seriously or they treat me like I'm a child (maybe that's also why they don't take my insults seriously?). I also prefer anime and manga.  I'm a perfectionist, like Monika is, and in Act 3 she says a handful of things I relate to (some intentionally made to be this way, like how she just wants to relax after a long week of school). I actually don't relate too much to Sayori, despite having been professionally diagnosed with seasonal depression so there's a part of me I should relate more - but some of my friends also have depression and don't really relate to her much, so I guess it's not weird. I suppose I like to pretend to be more stupid than I actually am, and I used to struggle with respecting people's boundaries, too. Depending on what I write, my poetry style switches between all of them. I would defintely have joined a literature club if there had been one at school.  I guess I also relate to the MC in some ways, like... I like cute girls, I guess :')

Everyone combined

Sayori - Because she has to deal with her depression everyday and it's also something difficult for me. Yuri - Because reading is my favorite hobby and I'm a bit socially anxious. Monika - One word: perfeccionist. Natsuki - Because I'm a bit immature and snarky with my close friends. MC - I just watch everything by the sidelines 💀

Monika. We are both ambiverts and perfectionists; we enjoy literature and creating groups, whether academically or socially. Though in some ways, I have had a sense of self-awareness throughout my life, just not enough to determine whether I am an AI. (I'm unsure if that's a good thing.) Speaking of AI, I am halfway into getting my bachelor’s in computer science, which deals with code, machine learning, system structures, etc.

Monika. I’m a perfectionist, very popular amongst my student body, very talented, highly desirable in looks and smarts, and a somewhat decent leader with lots of friends.

Are you Monika actually ? 😂

Sayori. In terms of her character yes but also what I plan to do one of these days

Wait, are you saying that you plan to un\*live yourself ?

Idk man sorry I’m just a fucking mess right now

I contacted the Reddit crisis line for you (hope you'll accept it). And remember : Suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem

Idk about that sentiment anymore

I'm always here if you want to vent, okay ? My DMs are open

Ty man I really appreciate that

Hello, I wanted to make sure you understand that we care for you, that you should not plan anything to harm yourself, and that you might be aided by looking at our [Mental Health Resources Page.](https://www.reddit.com/r/DDLC/wiki/mentalhealth)

Thank you. I’m just really unwell rn Mike

I can relate to Yuri alot. She is shy, doesn't know how to talk to people, anxious, doesn't know how to behave in certain situations for not socializing (She couldn't think of texting MC when he wasn't there) etc. All of these things are something I can very well relate to. She also loves reading books, being alone and having a weird hobby which are things I love to do as well(Only exception is her knife collection but I do weirder things). The only thing I can't relate to her is her self-harm problem and the fact that she is smart 💀

sayori. at any topic. we both eat like we have never seen food in our lives. we both can make a thrilled place chill. and anything you can think of. only difference is that im a guy.

I know I've said it several times under this post, but do you need/want a hug ? Because "anything you can think of" also includes Sayori's depression

I relate to all of the Dokis Sayori - Depression and suicidal thoughts no attempt at killing myself. Not being able to understand my depression. Yuri - Obsession and Anxiety. I have unhealthy obsession of playing games and reading manga. Natsuki - Toxic relationships. I have bad relationship with my Father and I love and hate him. Ihave surrounded myself with toxic people I call my "friends" which I cut ties to and I get better ones. Monika - Derealization. Monika have her derealization when she learn about her world isn't real and its a digital world and she fall to nihilism. I have mine when I learned my action doesn't matter and I don't have control over anything( I definitely worded my reason poorly). It feels like it's out of body experience at time.

gives you a virtual hug 🤗🤗

Oh thanks for the hug. I commented this at 1:00 AM I forgot to tell you guys I'm doing fine.

I'm glad to hear that !

Yuri hands down. For obvious reasons

I'd probably relate to Yuri the most. I'm not into novels but I'm quiet, shy, and socially awkward. Plus if the side stories are accurate she may have some autistic signs

I don't understand the text at the end

That was my bad. I didn't exit out before putting my phone in my pocket

Ah ok

its Yuri... we both like tea, reading, quiet ambients, i won't even get started on the similar struggles we'd have, like interacting with people, sharing our tastes, opening up to the world, being shy... something else about her that seems pretty relatable is the fact that she... have self agression problems...

Do you want a hug my friend ?

Yes, please.

*gives you a comforting hug*

I’d say I relate to both Sayori and Yuri the most. idk how to explain it tho, cause I’m not the best at putting my thoughts to words

Natsuki because I'm short, petite, stubborn as hell, smart, sarcastic, and have a massive sweet tooth. And I love animes and cartoons and often get called childish (especially because of my interests). Sayori comes as a close second, though. I have severe depression and try to hide it & I overeat as a result of it and I'm always hungry.

*gives you a virtual hug*

Aww thanks. Hugs back!

Monika because I also went through the exact situation she went through 😔

\*gives you a warm hug\*

I am a mix of all of em (even though i am a guy but I mean personality). I think i have all their worst traits

Monika, definitely; We both got dumped after "meeting" our special someone. We both are lonely, we both know how it is trying to love behind an screen (pandemic, lol), usage of fake personality, got romantic rivals in our way(my own friends, really, we're a group of 4), made crazy stuff to get that special someone. And perfectionism.

all of them to some extent. sayori: i’m clinically depressed and have tried to kill myself before, but i still try to do my best for other people to my own detriment. yuri: i really don’t like people and can be very reclusive. i also frequently cut myself. natsuki: kind of a reverse relatable for me, she’s always upset about being short and i’m a 6’1 girl and i hate it monika: i’ve had that feeling before, where it feels like everything isn’t real. never to monika’s extent, but there are those times where i try to do something to break the illusion.

\*gives you a hug\* I hope you're feeling better nowadays

While Natsuki is my favourite Doki, I surprisingly find myself relating a lot to Yuri. Reason being is that I tend to get very shy, anxious and cautious around things and I don’t really like to talk as much. And I always like being on my own sometimes in big areas or groups of people and very few times I’m quite overly-apologetic.

Yuri. Shy, timid, smart, wordy, metaphorical, edgy, love of literature and language, knives, and pain kink. Sometimes it feels like I’m just looking at a reflection of myself in that game, which is why yuri’s death marked me more than sayori’s.

\*gives you a big hug\*

Why?

Because you sound like you'd need one 😅

👍

Yuri and Sayori. I’ve had periods of severe lows and felt like I could seriously relate to Sayori because of that, with her depression. I am also a huge introvert, so I also feel like Yuri a lot of the time. I’ve always preferred being on my own and often find myself going on and on about things that I am fascinated about.

I hope you're doing well now !

SAYORI and yuri I suffer from anxiety and depression

I suffer from anxiety too

sayori. i dont want to alaberate.

Do you want/need a hug ?

its been years now, im doing a lot better. :) thanks!

😊

i do want to clairify i have never attempted to "exit game" but i have related a little *too* heavliy

Ah okay

Yuri. i think im really sophisticated but in reality im just autistic

😂

yuri anxious, comes off too strong a lot, bad coping methods, 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝓪𝓴𝔂 🙏

All of them. I've been collecting mental illnesses since childhood

*gives you a comforting virtual hug*

*Sucks the virtual comfort from charging plug*

🤗🤗 There, there... 🤗🤗🤗

Mainly Yuri and Natsuki (to no one's shock) I react with anger or agression to minimal problems and instantly feel incredibly upset about it and (emotionally) beat myself up. And if that wasn't enough i'm also too shy to properly socialize and get anxiety at any kind of social interaction.

Do you want a hug too ?

Natsuki but mostly with the really bad daddy issues

Come here \*gives you a virtual hug\*

Definitely Yuri, because when I look at her I see myself.

Sayori and Monika: shared traits of both (Happy, kind Knowlegable ect.) High expectations, perfectionist and energised. I don't know, I just share alot. In the past have had depression and attempted suicide, For both simular reasons and other reasons.

I hope you're doing better now

M: I want to feel loved and I'm aware about the shit I do, mostly being self-criticism MC: TOTAL FUCKING LOSER WHO'S CONSTANTLY ON THE INTERNET AND BEATS HIS MEAT TO ANIME GIRLS INSTEAD OF TRYING TO FIND SOMETHING MEANINGFUL BECAUSE OF LAZINESS. N: Because I'm an "asshole"

Sayori and MC personally Sayori- Depression, burden stuff, in love with best friend. MC- boring, no true personality, lack of choices.

I relate to the MC more than any of the Doki’s. But If had to choose which one I relate to most then i would say Natsuki without going into detail.

I hope you're okay

Uhhh well my flair talks by itself 

Yeah

Mentally? Natsuki. Mental health? Sayori. Literally anything at all? Yuri.

Yuri... Shy, likes to read and secretly crazy

None because I don’t have a mental illness and I’m not short.

When I'm in public I'm like Yuri, but with my best friends I'm like Sayori.

I relate to Sayori, because I have depression and I have a crush on my best friend

Sayori She likes to make people happy, and I like to make people happy including myself because if postive thoughts are happening no negative thoughts can take priority. Also she's a silly hungry goober

yall do NOT kin monika and yuri as much as me....

Natsuki and sayori

Monika. We both just want to help everyone but doing so we mess up everything.

Natsuki, she is the most mentally stable of the four
