Well meryl, the whole series is kinda centered on the relationship Shinji has with other people, first of all with Gendo.
*spoilers everywhere*
He must be like the weak boy who wants to conquer the love of the father. The other pilots are made to create a sort of opposition to Shinji's personality, but only in a superficial way. In fact they all demonstrate to have some weakness depending on their relationships with parents. Asuka seems to be so strong and determined, but she suffers from the relationship she had with her true mother, who went crazy, if I'm not wrong, after she started piloting the Evangelion. Rei can't even claim to have parents because she's an artificial "product". Also Misato suffered for her relationship with her father. So Shinji is probably the one who's able to show more directly he has serious troubles in having some kind of relation with his father, but he's far from being the only one with this typology of problem. It's just that in his case you can see it from the beginning, while for other characters you have to follow the rest of the series.
