First of all, yes he is paid, but if he didn't care about really trying to improve your situation he is ethically required to stop seeing you. My therapist once told me that "a Therapist and a Patient can't be friends" I tend to disagree with that statement. I feel that at isn’t' best the Therapist/Patient is a friendship, just one with very unique boundaries.
And for me my therapist is the only person I can open up to about any topic and feel safe, and not like a freak, and don’t have to worry about rejection, so in my opinion (take it for what it’s worth I am a bit messed up) what you are feeling is normal and natural.
