Hedgehog’s Dilemma - Neon Genesis Evangelion

“The hedgehog’s dilemma: the closer we become the more deeply we hurt. Now I understand. I finally understand that he can’t let others know how he feels in any other way.“ - Misato Katsuragi The hedgehog’s dilemma is a metaphor about the challenges of human intimacy. It describes a situation in which a group of hedgehogs all seek to become close to one another in order to share heat during cold weather. They must remain apart, however, as they cannot avoid hurting one another with their sharp spines. Though they all share the intention of a close reciprocal relationship, this may not occur, for reasons they cannot avoid.
