I have watched gameplays of the side stories and played till Act 1 on DDLC but I cry very easily and cried at the end of Act 1. I am also triggered easily and DDLC is a horror game. How do I play it without getting triggered or anything? :(

Have you played other visual novels? Spending some time in those may help you recognize the tropes of the genre, and then when you see them in DDLC, you’ll know what not to expect since that game is specifically subverting expectations.
As other people have said though, DDLC is very intentionally somewhat upsetting, and there’s nothing wrong with looking up a short synopsis to understand what to expect before deciding for yourself.
