I was wondering how Shinji would act if he was abused aggressively as a small child after Yui died. The abuse would probably start when he went to his aunt and uncle house’s and would end when he leaves for Tokyo3. I see Shinji being more aggressive growing up and getting into fights he’d still be courteous towards people and a bit nice still. I wonder how people would react in the original series and rebuild

My guess is that you just have to take late series Shinji and insert him at the start. Maybe turn it up a notch. Hates himself utterly, is even more dependent on everybody, shys away from all physical contact, always thinks everything his fault, probably has a breakdown when Asuka forces him to kiss her, if not earlier. If you want to go with EoE-Shinji, he probably turns abusive himself.

Maybe you should just read Adam Kadmons works, like "The Second Other". But in all honesty, there is no real way to tell how exactly he would turn out. It might just push him hard enough to actually go through with his suicide attempts (which means he's dead by episode 4). Either way, I don't think he'd chose to return to the real word in EoE if he was "aggressively abused." He was "reluctantly abused" throughout the series and decided to rather not exist at all, and only returned because Instrumentality turned out to be even worse than the real world. I don't think you can shove much more trauma onto him without just breaking him completely.

That's a pretty apt description of what it usually feels like to read an adam Kadmon fic if you ask me.

eitzher way, on the actual topic - yeah, I'm with Chaddy and Deranator here, either a spiteful asshole or probably dead long before the end of the show; maybe both

He’d probably be worse off than he actually. Maybe more depressed, or dead inside.

And he’d be even more starving for love and affection. All the positive feelings would be foreign to him, he’d wouldn’t know how to respond to them.
