No I just want to Know to See if I have That Or obessive love Disorder.

Well I highly doubt it,, if I’m being honest. Its almost completely fictitious from a psychologists perspective. But the main info is as follows:

♥ Strong, reoccurring thoughts of violence towards others

♥ Sudden appearance

♥ Usually begins after meeting someone and feeling a strong connection to them

♥ Intense jealousy towards others

♥ Sudden desire to have weapons around frequently or even at all times

♥︎ Most common in teenage females (afabs, not girls) around high school age

♥︎ Can disappear entirely after the patient achieves the goal which caused the disorder to happen, but usually persists until death

♥︎ Disorder can be worked through or fought with therapy, but the disorder will occasionally distort the brain to believe that the disorder is good or necessary, or that therapy is unhelpful, bad, or shameful

♥︎ Disorder shows itself most intensely around the subject of its infatuation

I think that’s all but I might update later

A "Megadere" is obsessed with their love interest in a fangirl/fanboy fashion and won't be afraid to show their interest towards them.

Personality

Megadere characters are a more extreme case of deredere. They will not be afraid to show their interest and admiration for their love interest, because just by seeing them or thinking about them, they will show their lovey-dovey side in an exaggerated way. So their crush towards someone will be obvious for others characters, and in some cases, even the love interest.

They will do their best to get the attention of the person they like or want to spend more time with. If they are more open, they will even perform affectionate acts, such as hugging them or following them around. Their reactions in front of them will be so exaggerated that there will be a lot of occasions where the megadere is depicted with hearts around them, heart eyes, dreamy pink backgrounds, and especially expressions of infatuation.

They see their love interest as absolute perfection, and dating them would be a dream come true for the megadere. Many times these characters will also imagine a future with their crush, thinking about their wedding, similar to kekkondere, and their family life with children of their own.

[dere---types]

An "Oujidere" refers to a character who wants to be treated like a prince by others, even if he is not actual royalty.

[dere---types]

Goudere

Best suited with: himdere/Oujidere or kamidere

Goudere characters will stop at nothing to obtain whatever they think or want their master to have. They are unstoppable forces that do whatever they please for their special someone, out of their love for them.

The goudere have an idealized notion of their loved one, believing that they deserve the world or that they should be treated as gods, even if the love interest explains to the goudere that this is not necessary at all.

Due to their insane devotion to them, they will go to unimaginable lengths to give to their love interest what they believe is the best for them creating uncomfortable and comical situations that even can put the love interest in trouble.

[dere---types]

Kekkondere

A "Kekkondere" refers to a character obsessed with marriage or who wants to get married right away, even with someone they just met.

[dere---types]

Byoukidere

A "Byoukidere" refers to a character who is usually very sweet and kind but suffers from a physical disease, usually a fatal one.

[dere---types]

Shundere and utsudere

Shundere[1] refers to a character who is sad or very depressed all of the time. Shundere characters often are sad from the start and don't have much of a reason to feel like this, unlike utsudere.

An "Utsudere" refers to a character who is often sad and depressed. Utsudere characters have a good reason to feel this way, usually some sort of traumatizing event in their past or present that impact their lives and/or personality.

[dere---types]

Bakadere

Meaning of the Name

Bakadere comes from the words "baka" (バカ), meaning "stupid", "moron", "fool", or most commonly, "idiot", and "deredere" (デレデレ), meaning "lovey dovey".

Personality

Bakadere characters are, for the most part, very innocent and sweet, but their stupidity outshines their other attributes. They are basically a dim bulb, ditzy or klutzy girl or boy in love. They also tend to act like children who must be looked after and taught about life by others and love interest.

Most tend to be overly carefree and optimistic due to their lack of intelligence. Bakadere characters also act childish and air-headed. They usually rush into things without logically thinking them through first, resulting in embarrassing or disastrous situations.

However, some characters of this type are not really that stupid, they just act somewhat silly around others, even on purpose. In this case, these characters are usually seen as a more close example of deredere than bakadere, in fact, it's quite common for a bakadere character to also be deredere due to their innocence. Both types also tend to bring a smile to those around them, deredere intentionally and bakadere sometimes unintentionally

[dere---types]

Erodere

Erodere characters will acts perverted at first, but when they get to know the love interest more, they become lovey-dovey and grow a more pure and sweet love towards them. [2]

They will act perverted and seductive in front of others and mostly the love interest to hide their real feelings of love. They will pretend to be only lustful and lewd, but they are actually more vulnerable and romantic than what they let on.

They can also be characters with a lewd streak, being flirtatious and lustful with others, talking with people with some hints of suggestive themes. They don't hesitate to propose perverted things to anyone who catches their attention or might be interested. Despite this, once they find true love, they will be less perverted, at least with other people.

This is a more extreme and erotic version of hiyakasudere. While hiyakasudere characters will only try to flirt with the love interest, the erodere will be much more direct and suggest, think, do and talk about more intimate acts and situations. Erodere characters will be more dirty when talking, while hiyakasudere characters will be more charming instead, but respectful of what they can arrive to say, usually just trying to be seductive enough to tease a little bit the love interest or gain their hearts.

[dere---types]

Sadodere

Personality

A sadodere is a troublemaker who enjoys manipulating others feelings, commonly taking pleasure from it. It is common that a sadodere will play with their love interest's emotions and humiliate them as well.

Sadodere characters are typically defined by their sadistic tendencies, and can be violent and cruel to others and even more cruel and violent to loved ones. They always have a severe lack of empathy, however, some characters that are sadodere can redeem themselves. A sadodere is known to hurt others physically and emotionally because they want to and because they feel pleasure from doing it.

They are the perfect match with masodere characters. While both dere types love humiliation and pain, sadodere characters enjoy inflicting this on others, mostly to loved ones, while masodere characters enjoy when this is inflicted on themselves, mostly by loved ones.

Unlike sadodere, a dorodere will not necessarily enjoy hurting their love interest in a slow way, and they will only do it as quickly as they can because they see it as a necessary thing to do. Dorodere characters will see their love interest only as an obstacle or a tool in their mission, and will eventually get crazy obsessed with them

Although a sadodere enjoys hurting people, they will feel more pleasure when hurting loved ones. That's why this dere type can be confused with yandere. The difference between a yandere and sadodere is that a sadodere character enjoys doing harm, while a yandere character will only harm others to prevent them from taking their crush away from them. Yandere characters can also hurt their love interest, but they do it to get what they perceive to be a positive outcome. Yandere characters don't feel any pleasure in harming their love interest or other people. It's also possible, for a character to be both dere types and feel pleasure like a sadodere while doing these yandere actions.

Today's Dere!

Hiyakasudere!!

Hiyakasudere characters, also known as Teasedere (ティーズデレ) in some media, are sarcastic, mischievous or at least playful at heart, and sort of like a flirt as they tease people they like. Inside, however, some of them who are just only super seductive care a lot for their love interest, and tease them even more.

This is a more mild and gentle version of erodere. While hiyakasudere characters will only try to flirt with the love interest, the erodere will be much more direct and suggest, think and talk about more intimate acts and situations. Erodere characters will be more dirty when talking, while hiyakasudere characters will be more charming instead, but respectful of what they can arrive to say, usually just trying to be seductive enough to tease a little bit the love interest or gain their hearts.

Hiyakasudere is often an extension of tsundere. The majority of the hiyakasudere characters can be also a bit tsundere, although they will not be the harsh or angry type; rather, they will be more like the deredere type.

They are also really similar to oujidere and himedere when it comes to fighting for attention. The difference of these dere types with hiyakasudere is that both dere types, having a royalty complex, will want to be praised by other people around them, so that they feel superior. Hiyakasudere characters will praise others and try to seduce people instead with their attractiveness and charm to win their hearts. They will frequently tease their love interest from time-to-time. Oujidere or himedere characters don't see it necessary to flirt with other people, because it's beneath them, as they see themselves as perfect and that they deserve the attention. They are also very picky (or at least they make it seem so), when they must choose a love interest, while a hiyakasudere usually go after anyone who catches their attention

There are characters that also can be a hiyakasudere and himedere/oujidere at the same time, or show signs of the other dere types. It's possible for a himedere or oujidere character to flirt like a hiyakasudere sometimes. Likewise, it's possible for a hiyakasudere to like the attention they gain from people after using their charm, thus growing their ego.

Hiyakasudere is also much like sadodere, who like to toy around with their love interest like a hiyakasudere does. However, a hiyakasudere does not manipulate or wants to cause tremendous pain. They only do and say things to playfully infuriate the person they like or leave them flustered. They are not sadistic as a sadodere is.
