I despise Shinji, He sort of reminds me of myself! He's a relatable and realistic protagonist, he really does feel like an average teenager with his many flaws and his own fears.
I don't know how to express myself now. Venting to people is really embarassing, doesn't feel right. I guess just a random stranger stumbling onto my cry for help is less embarassing then telling my closest friends. I don't want to seem pathetic, I don't want them to pity me either. Bottling up everything doesn't feel right either but I don't know how to bring up my mental health to them without annoying them.
