No, no.
That one's been done.
And my question has probably been asked already, but what the hell. I'll ask it again.... after I post this thing.
We owned Shinji's little self defense mechanism. Hahaha.
Also, something I've been thinking in and around, was about the interaction between Asuka Soryu and one, Rei Ayanami.
So it comes off as hatred, what Asuka feels towards Ayanami.
Now, there was other talk of Rei being a 'maternal figure' since she is part of Lilith, mother of mankind and what not.
However, Ayanami was confused about her 'feelings towards Ikari'.
Being comprised partially of Yui Ikari as well, Ayanami still had that maternal bond with Shinji, even though she was not able to define that feeling.
The fact that Ayanami was able to feel somewhat comfortable around Shinji and vice versa seemed to anger Soryu considerably.
This instantly comes off as jealousy, which it is, however it may not be the obvious kind. "He likes her more than he likes me blah blah". No. Not that.
For Asuka, it might be more on a subconscious level.
All of her mother figures have betrayed, disliked and neglected her.
Most of which, Ayanami does as well.
She ignores Asuka's outburts and doesn't particularly care much about or for Asuka.
I was thinking that Ayanami is another mother figure to Asuka, on a very deep and twisted level that she, herself, doesn't even realize.
Asuka makes the easiest, probably first noticed, connection between Ayanami and the Doll that her mother used to have.
I think, that in her subconscious, Asuka also associates Ayanami with her own mother more so than the doll.
Asuka seeks attention, and everyone usually gives it to her, whether it's positive or negative.
Ayanami, is one of the few that pays her no mind. So when Shinji gets Ayanami's attention, Asuka is jealous of this.
Shinji effectively becomes the doll, and Ayanami, Kyoko Soryu.
The doll isnt necessarily one person. Neither would be the mother.
Asuka just calls Ayanami a doll because it's the easiest association
Let us now note, that I am insane. And this little theory of mine makes no sense.
That one's been done.

Quoted from Conversation
Langleeeh:Okay...
One self defense mechanism is; Displacement. (Example: Attraction to a married person may be displaced to some other activity. A classic instance, is playing a musical instrument instead.)
Such defence would be used unconsciously to redirect the attention to something else.
The example then reminded me of a scene from Evangelion, where Shinji was playing suite no.5 for the cello one night.
Hypothetically, Shinji could have been attracted to something that he could not have, or something that was forbidden. Therefore, he displaced that energy into something more productive.
Coincidentally, Asuka Soryu was on a date with a friend of a friend that night. Thus making her somewhat of a forbidden object.
MessiahMan: the ID then assumes control
Langleeeh: I suppose.
MessiahMan: the id wants pleasure
MessiahMan: and as such finds comfort in a place without pain
