As a male I can be somewhat indecisive when I try to measure the reality of my situations. One thing about Takashi is that he has a very realist perspective (Recognizing the threat as it presented itself) and sometimes a bit of an idealist one as well ( Alice's rescue). I can empathize with Takashi because emotions are hard for me to understad and deal with. Most of the time if I am in a situation where I just don't have time to think about it I push it to the back of my mind and drive on. Takashi seems to have a similar talent as when the emotions hit him and there was no immediate threat he blew up uncontrollably. Takashi strikes me as someone who does not deal with things outside his control, like Rei getting held back, because there is nothing he can do about it and feels that just listening is pointless as it accomplishes nothing. When Takashi is able to act he does, but if he does not feel that he can he moves past it like it doesn't matter. Obviously this causes problems when it comes to relationships which I can speak to first hand, as the other party feels ignored and unimportant enough to matter. Rei is not wrong to have felt the way she did, but she did not think of how Takashi was feeling in that instance either as in the material we have she is never once seen trying to understand his POV. He does gain insight into hers albeit way after the fact.
