He's got a far better grasp on career and financial stability but he's to nervous to do things like drive in the big city or see doctors about mental health. He's amazing with computers but not great with mechanical things.

I on the other hand suck with computers and am excellent with mechanical things. I put a lot of effort into self improvement and mental health, but still float around jobs and only have a stable homelife because of my spouse. I'd like to say all the DIY stuff I got growing up helped with that, but most of them were shit quality and the ones that didn't break got absorbed into my dad's things anyway. My diy skills come exclusively from living with a moto of "well fine, I'll just do it myself"

that sounds like you were part of a case study in your childhood

xD I need to remember this. Funny way of seeing this.
