She is literally me. Loves coffee, cats, and nicotine, closed off and rather abrasive, tries to be the voice of reason but is just as emotional as anyone else, prefers woman but throws herself to men who treat her like shit, and above all constantly feeling inadequate because her mother was a famous academic.

Watching ritsuko self sabotage in NGETV was painful. The manga amplifies her guilty tendency to hate Rei too if you haven't read it yet (in parallel to Naoko, she chokes Rei II but doesn't kill her). I found my young adult self connecting with her in NGETV (not the manga) and her remaining neutral faith tendencies to be a realistic voice towards Misato in 3.0 (and 3.0 + 1.0) more akin to my current self. Nona, you seem self aware, keep trying your best to put that into action and make mental note when you find yourself being swayed by a moid who doesn't truly care about you. Be kind to yourself, but being kind to yourself takes the self discipline to choose who is best for you when dating.
