cinderella complex

When a woman (often submissive and needy) spends all her time searching for her "prince charming" to come rescue her; brainwashed by rosy romantic images and ideals.

Women with this personality trait often lose good guys because they feel the guy they are presently with doesn't fit their ideal of the perfect man.

She dreams of living a fairy tale lifestyle where she meets this prince and they fall madly in love and live happily ever after in a magical fantasy where all of her needs and desires are taken care of.
"I just KNOW that one day my prince charming will come rescue me, and we'll have a magical kiss under the stars and he'll whisper I love you and he'll take me away to his castle and we'll live happily ever after!1!!!"

24-Hour Cinderella

A song from the video game Yakuza 0.
Unlike Bakamitai, it is a song only for those who are so happy it's criminally insane. It's no question why Bakamitai is more popular. Because not many people are happy.
This song can be learned to the point that you know it from heart, reports have said a certain dagger wielding eyepatched man has been observed humming and singing this song from time to time.
Depressing Man in a Suit: I sing for you. Bakamita-
Madman in a Snakeskin Jacket: Enough of this sad shit! Alexa, play 24-Hour Cinderella! Sunao ni I LOVE YOU!
