Evangelion Syndrome

A totally real (trust me bro) psychological condition where a person becomes emotionally attached to someone who constantly insults, belittles, or emotionally damages them.

Symptoms include:

Interpreting emotional abuse as “deep connection”

Thinking “they’re mean because they care”

* Strong attraction to tsunderes and emotionally unavailable people

* Severe Shinji behavior

Common examples:

* Staying attached to someone who treats you like garbage

* “I can fix them” mentality

Origin:
Named after Neon Genesis Evangelion, a series where nearly every character desperately clings to people who actively ruin their mental health.
Usage:
“Bro stop texting her, that’s straight up Evangelion Syndrome.”

Chynthiya Evangeline

Chynthiya is a beautiful queen. She speaks directly with everyone and does not backstab anyone. You can trust Chynthiya for everything. She is such such goddess. You are so lucky if you have a soul mate like Chynthiya

Neon Genesis Evangelion

It's a cool anime.

Only issue: it's fucking depressing and confusing. I'm still confused about the ending and I watched it 2 weeks ago.
Person 1: Hey... I just got diagnosed with depression.
Person 2: Oh no! I'm so sorry! What happened?
Person 1: I watched Neon Genesis Evangelion
