As a recovering crisis junkie, in a self help group, someone said, "You can be happy, joyous and free." My first thought was Why? Learning from others in recovery, Try to enjoy one day at a time, If a a situation arises, does it pertain to me Or do I mind my own business. Learned too, other peoples problems are Not mind to solve! Breathe deep, say the Serenity Prayer. Remember, Easy does it.
Ship, many Posters have suggested therapy, Please take their suggestion, you may need to consult several. Another suggestion, take a relaxing trip together. If he loves you, hold his hand, explain how you feel, inform you are looking into therapy as he so special to you.
Mostly mental stuff. With my closest of friends as you learn them it's like "Omg you like XYZ?! No way! Me, too!" and you just feel on the same wave length. We do not have this but are also compatible in the way we think. Our communication is effortless. I honestly feel more comfortable telling him things that some closer friends because I feel I have so much trust with him now that I think about it.
As far as interests, it's mostly things like games, tv shows/movies, etc. He likes a lot of fantasy stuff and I can find myself glazing over sometimes when he gets passionately on about those topics, but I still love that he likes those things and they make him so happy. I like a lot of live action shows like Dexter, Lost, Breaking Bad, Walking Dead, etc. Although he isn't opposed to them he would rather watch Anime and I'm not really an Anime fan. We compromise on things well though.
I wouldn't worry about this stuff. It sounds like there are more than enough positives to make up for it. Just my opinion.
Maybe you need teamwork, some shared goal to work on (homeless outreach, to list a stereotypical example).
That's a good idea. There are healthy ways of getting an adrenaline rush or an endorphin rush! Why not try doing something exciting or rewarding together?
Another question: what's his attitude toward ongoing learning vs. yours?
