Avoidant Personality Disorder

Shinji Ikari- Neon Genesis Evangelion

Shinji Ikari's behavior is consistent with Avoidant Personality Disorder, a psychological condition characterized by a pervasive pattern of social inhibition, feelings of inadequacy, and extreme sensitivity to negative evaluation. People with avoidant personality disorder often consider themselves to be socially inept or personally unappealing, and avoid social interaction for fear of being ridiculed or humiliated.
