So some time ago, we heard of somebody headcanoning Shuichi Saihara from DanganRonpa as having Borderline Personality Disorder, or BPD. We were shocked about it since our perseption of the illness was still rooted in the idea of the sufferers lashing out in anger and pain. And while that is true for some, it made us look into BPD & find out about Quiet BPD.
Long story short is that Quiet BPD is still Borderline Personality Disorder, but most of the destructive symptomes are internalized. And while we've yet to fully reconsume NDRV3, we do think quiet-BPD!Shuichi can be very fitting. Another character we think would have (quiet) BPD is Basil from OMORI. Both characters seem to latch on to one or few people, revolve their worth around their thoughts & feel often intense self-critique.
