Shinji has a strong dread of emotional suffering, as well as being hated or abandoned, most likely as a result of his perspective of being abandoned as a child and, as a result, blaming himself for not being good enough to keep his father around. Shinji is shown as an introvert who is estranged from physical reality as a result of little to no meaningful contact with others. He is revealed to be highly uncomfortable in social party circumstances, and he frequently has difficulties controlling his emotions around people owing to his inability to let go of the past. He is depicted going to extremes to save one individual, sacrificing countless lives (including his own).
