Help I'm in love with him

This guy, based off of pure vibes alone, is a total nervous wreck. I'm talking can only go through the drive-thru kinda guy, enters a store and dose his best not to make any eye contact kinda guy, his favorite activity is staying at home alone kinda guy. I imagine if he had the option to never go outside ever again he'd take it in a heartbeat, but unfortunately that's not really a possibility. Technically he could "work from home", but his landlord refuses to fix the shitty WiFi so he's forced to go to a coffee shop to actually get anything done. That, and he's too poor to get his groceries delivered to his house.

He's a coder, as that job allows for minimal contact with others. (In return, he gets to stress out whenever his code just doesn't work and Google isn't really helping him find a solution.) He loves the taste of coffee, but not so much the fact that it makes his anxiety skyrocket and sends his heart pounding a million miles a minute. Thus, he's forced to drink decaf, though he'll swear up and down that it doesn't taste the same. Paradoxically, he likes horror movies, as well as thrillers and anything with the capacity to fuck you up physiologically. If you'd ask him why, first he'd have a heart attack because you're actually trying to talk to him, and then he'd say that it's nothing compared to what he has to deal with just living daily life.

Estranged from his parents-- has quite the extended family, but sees none of them. Probably has some undiagnosed anxiety condition that he just refuses to see a doctor about due to internalized ableism. He was always the black sheep of the family, and ended up pretty much becoming the scapegoat (pun not intended) for whenever anything went wrong. He was the middle child, so he never got babied like his younger siblings did, and never had the reputation of being "the responsible one" like his older siblings did. He tried to do that thing that all kids with middle child syndrome do and play the peacemaker/never get mad/make people happy, but it just... never worked. No matter what he did, they always turned on him in the end. So eventually, he just stopped trying and interacting with just about anybody. He did pretty much everything he could to cope besides outright disassociating. He DEFINITELY have some trauma from his childhood, but doesn't really feel like he can talk about it to others, as it was drilled into his head that therapy was for "the weak". And so he just... stays alone. Poor guy.

Could kick your ass at video games when he really wanted to. Actually demolishes the competition at online multiplayer (as long as he doesn't look at the chat or listen to a single thing anyone else says).
