Neon Genesis Evangelion Quotes Shinji
It really breaks my heart when people say “Shinji is a whiny bitch.” He defiantly suffers from the Hedgehog dilemma & is afraid to socialize with others! This is most likely because his father left him when he was a child, most kids that grow up without a father deal with people differently because they didn’t have a father figure in their life to look up too.
It’s worth mentioning that Shinji’s mother was for the most part not around, she was around when Shinji was much younger but she’s gone. Shinji doesn’t want to polite to unit 01 because he sees the world as it is, he’s not getting anything out of it,
his father still doesn’t talk to him or want to live with nor does he have a special person in his life at all! He has low self-esteem issues and can’t express his feelings toward anyone. One parent is dead while the other like Rei instead of Shinji. So when I hear people say ” Shinji is a whiny bitch.” I hope people will look deeper into Shinji, because he’s been throwing a lot in his life!
