As a result of his one and only relationship ending badly, today's Ritsu is a very jaded individual. Along with the accusations he endured in high school, his self-confidence took a beating. Because of this, he is prone to bouts of depression, anxiety over his quality of work, and most importantly, whether he really has the skills necessary to perform accurately. But on top of that, he can be stubborn— something that works in and out of his favor depending on his mood— and he is most certainly a hard worker. Though he gets down from time to time, it usually isn't very long before he makes a recovery, and when he does, his motivation tends to increase tenfold. Sometimes, insulting him is more effective than praise, but both can spur results. After all, he desperately wants to prove himself, and equally, he wants to see proof of his hard work paying off. When it comes to work, Ritsu does his best to maintain professionalism. He prepares himself well, even staying up late at nights to ensure his work is up to par, and though he gets nervous when under a certain amount of pressure, he maintains his composure well enough to impress, generally. Even though he often finds himself lost in thought as he dwells on anything that happens to bother him, he does his best to push it out of his mind and focus on the task at hand. However, despite the fact that he thinks he's keeping his emotions in check and perfectly hidden, it's incredibly obvious when something is on his mind and having it called to attention only tends to make matters worse. He's easy to fluster, and he dislikes being teased since he has a hard time differentiating jokes from seriousness. Because of this, he can easily take something the wrong way, creating a big issue out of even a harmless comment. His insecurity also causes his trust issues. He has difficulty letting others get close to him, and in a severe attempt to protect himself from getting hurt again, he is quick to deny anyone who tries. He makes excuses to the point where he, himself, believes in them wholeheartedly, and as such, he has trouble understanding his own feelings. In the end, he doesn't even trust his own judgment, and so he keeps pushing his troubles to the side as if they don't exist while he distracts himself with work. However, his emotions tend to get stronger as he ignores them, and it isn't until they've built up to a level he can no longer hold in that he'll release them all at once. When he reaches this point, he can even spout off cruel accusations, partly because he wants to gauge the reaction, but also partly because he can make himself believe those accusations as truth. He gets irritated after these kinds of thoughts plague him too long, and it certainly shows when he is upset with someone, even though his reasoning isn't necessarily clear to the other... or himself. But generally, he is friendly and polite, and he does his best to maintain those traits even with those he doesn't get along with, especially if it's someone at work. Depending on his mood, he might not be able to keep every comment to himself, but he's apologetic should he ever take something too far. Even with platonic relationships, Ritsu tends to keep people at arm's length. He makes acquaintances rather than friends, still preferring to keep to himself for the most part. He can be coerced into social gatherings, perhaps with a bit of effort, but he's always going to be hesitant first. He just wants to keep his life as routine as possible and his mind occupied before all of his negative thoughts start seeping in again.
