Mars. It's a manga and shoujo. The main male character doesn't have a boring life, but it's far from ideal, I'd say.
What do you think you're piloting? Great Mazinger? Dangaioh? For Pete's sake, this isn't some robot cartoon whose main character is an autistic kid or some punk. - Kiichi Goto, Mobile Police Patlabor

I also jump on the Mirai Nikki bandwagon.
Deadman Wonderland is, in my opinion, missing a second season to get a better ending (actualy an ending period).

I'm going to add that you should read this over watching it. IMO, the anime is kinda boring, maybe cuz I read the manga first.

Also, Onani Master Kurosawa, maybe a weird recommendation, but it does fit. Give it a try before you turn it down if you read the synopsis.

Its not that I don't like Mirai Nikki, but like... it isn't really what the OP is asking for. Just throwing that out there.
I'm also filled with pure-hearted ulterior motives.

IMO it's exactly what he's looking for. I mean you can't get more yandere than Yuno, and I've read that lots of people define psychological as having someone messed up. If so, then the romance is obviously there, so he can't lose that much.

Not really sure since I haven't really watched much anime, since no one has said it yet I'm having doubts.
The anime is neon Genesis evangelion.
It is more mecha and psychological than romance, though there is romance it is overshadowed by the other genres. An element of one character liking another is there but it is not really developed and doesn't get them anywhere. The movies show a tad more romance.

It's not at all. Mirai Nikki is just another shounen involving a pussy protagonist who meets a girl and then supernatural shit happens. Not only the romance is some random unrealistic and VERY FORCED shit, but the psychological aspect isn't really present since Mirai Nikki is one of those shows that shallowly uses the genre. Idk about Clannad but if you watched NHK, you would see that the show is about a guy who fucked up his life and the girl he meets changes his life, but there's no random survival game there, it's REAL life. So basically, judging by his post he was clearly looking for anime with no supernatural or anything, realistic romances that actually dive pretty deeply into the protagonist's head, Mirai Nikki doesn't have that as a main plot.

I would say Mugen no Ryvius. Very psychological and also some sense of romance.

Lol you had the energy to say it. I decided to just let it go. Mirai Nikki was shallow in every genre but thriller.
I'm also filled with pure-hearted ulterior motives.

Seconding Denpa Teki na Kanojo and you should try the manga of Onani master kurosawa, I think it fits pretty well and like the other guy I'll tell you don't let the synopsys put you off or the first chapter. They are kind of weird, but after that it's pretty awesome.
