Shinji was tripping actual balls for the last few episodes 😭

“life isn’t about finding yourself it is about creating yourself” (unknown)

[ImnlySayin]

Ok, I get that what Asuka says at 0:18 is exactly what you wanted in the context of this vid, but bro, the “WhAt ArE yOu?? StOoPiD??” Always sends me lmaoo

[JodaroKujo]

This was so relatable I was crying the entire time while watching the last 2 episodes knowing this is how I was truely feeling

[Meretrix]

theyre so accurate for making him go insane an episode after finding out he liked boys lmao

[valentinoyanicola]

In spanish theres a phrase that says "vos no sos, estás" that means, "there is no i am, theres only to be" and that really helped me in the Moments i felt like shinji

[dtkyragp]

“But I still don’t understand myself. I don’t even know what it is that makes me myself. How can I love myself!?”

[krpzrcq]

To love yourself, first you'll have to experience love from another person. Because you can't feel love without knowing what it is. Instead of loving yourself it should be "I'm loved and then I'm able to love" other way it would be narcissism.

Most people don't even ask this question and try to find peace outside but it's inside

[ratfry]

I've been watching so many Eva memes recently that I thought this was a gonna be a shitpost lmao. Good vid though! Gives a short and sweet depiction of Shinji's identity crisis and self-hatred.

[andrewosborn]

Evangelion is fuckin beautiful when you realize what its about. Love yourself, go outside, make and be with friends, dont live in escapism.

[DaydreamsAllDay]

I used to struggle with identity a lot and here’s what I would suggest: talk to other people, observe the world around you. If you only think and keep thinking about you are, you will never find out who you are. You will find yourself in the world around you because action and choice define who we are, not thoughts and intentions.

We as humans don’t even know ourselves in our entirety, others see habits and quirks we may not even realize. That is ok, it is very normal and a sign of healthy confidence. As one who dealt with crippling loneliness it was hard to find a way forward and to feel somewhat understood, especially with a lack of social skills from a life of isolation, but I found my way out of the pit.

Edit: in other words he’s thinking too much about it.

: me randomly questioning my being and having an existential crisis at 3 AM

[BeartoeConCarne]

Shinji was me crying after school cause i couldn’t understand why i would disassociate.

[grassnothing]

im just gonna watch this while also watching nugget spinning 1 hour

[hellowhisss]

"of course nobody can understand you, the only one who can take care of yourself and understand you it's you"

It took me a long time to undestand this line

[astha_yadav]

I love this so relatable to what i felt the whole 2022- 2023

[tsarinastevens]

Ok haven’t watched the sequels or reboots. But actually liked that the first series lent more into itself metaphorical side, and I appreciate the characters taking the first steps to self care as the ending

[syloboy]

actually ranted to a friend yesterday about this exact same thing.

either people have to stop being so relatable, or I need to go see a therapist again.
