I was wondering if i have a personality and i attach a single Shieldman then get in a battle and Shieldman is destoryed by an enemy action, Can I use Shieldmanʻs reaction to gain honor? or in other words, Can Shieldmanʻs reaction be used to gain honor from itʻs own destruction?+

No.

As per Shieldman's card text, you can only announce its reaction to another card's destruction.
