DDY from the URBAN DICTIONARY - www.urbandictionary.com
Is the acronym for "Don’t Defeat Yourself." As the expanded notation would imply, it is a word that can be used to identify or describe an action or situation in which the individual inflicts severe harm emotionally, physically, socially, or monetarily to himself without any direct assistance from a third party. Although DDY does imply itself to be a type of warning or advice for a future event, DDY is commonly used in all three tenses: Past, Present and Future.
The most common form of DDY is emotional trauma. Usually, DDY occurs when an individual is attempting to interpret the behavior or intentions of a member of the opposite sex. It is equally common for an individual to “DDY” himself again while trying to decide what course of action to take. Please note DDY is not to be confused with self reflection, meditation, or deep careful thought. DDY is the process in which the individual intensely cycles a small sample of thoughts in order to force form a supposedly thought out conclusion. Every DDY conclusion is irrational and is wrong, thus being DDY. If the forced conclusion turns out to be the correct decision, then that decision was a good decision under pressure not DDY. DDY conclusions by definition must be wrong and absurdly in conflict with a well thought out solution.
A “DDY-ed” or a “DDY-ing” individual will display and behave in a combination of confusion, stress, distress, panic, dissatisfaction, disappointment, worry, and indecision. Individuals are usually quiet while DDY-ing themselves and are very vulnerable to the power of suggestion.
