I'm not so ready to take what your emaciated friend said about his weight at face value, by the way.
You are better off staying away from him. He needs help that you cannot give to him. Since you are in college, you might see if there is counseling available to help you deal with your need to dominate others when you see yourself as a "girl."

I'm not certain what you mean about taking him at face value about his weight. He's 5'11" and under 115 pounds. If you mean the causes for it, I know his family and know he has health problems. He's been having seizures. Brain cancer is a possibility, but not likely. A degenerative autoimmune disease is what seems more likely right now, according to the neurologist. He just had his first round of testing, so we'll know soon.
