Trying
I love this video so much. This cat, trying so hard to sip like a people. Desperate to sip like a people. Objectively incapable of sipping like a people.
Okay but for his whole softie emotionally available vibe
Wilson is often much worse at being genuinely vulnerable than House
I think this is most obvious in the Sam storyline where House comments about the milk in the fridge door and tried to annoy Wilson into breaking up. Specifically in the fact that Wilson confronting Sam about these little irritations only happens after it's built up and built up, because he doesn't know how to say anything until it's already too late. Doesn't know how to mention a minor annoyance because he doesn't want to become one.
i’m kind of nervous of what’s going to happen once house is on hulu. like… i love our little community here. i sort of don’t want it to blow up and get bigger if the show has a full blown renaissance🥺
i dunno I think it'll be fun. Chaotic, but fun.
Things the Doctor should always warn new companions about:
(1) You are extremely likely to die.
(2) Your friends and family are extremely likely to be put in great danger.
(3) You will witness horrors beyond your comprehension. Even if you do not die, you will be traumatized for life.
(4) You will have to live with me on my spaceship. I am very irritating.
(5) I may at any time abruptly turn into a different person. This person will also be very irritating.
(6) You will have to wear funny outfits.
(7) if I die, I'll turn into a whole new dude so don't panic.
Wilson does good to House but he's not a perfect friend, the show would be different if he was a better friend.
i don't know if it would be possible to be a perfect friend for House. The line between supportive and enabling is razor thin, and House is constantly pushing on it. The line between intervening and meddling is also razor thin, and it's another line House is constantly pushing.
I feel like Wilson and House fit perfectly even if not every choice they made was perfect.
Theory
The reason Wilson sucks so much is that he is incapable of advocating for himself within the context of a relationship. Which is something that hits super close to home for me personally (I'm working on it.) I think the thing that makes it hard for him is a fear of inconveniencing or upsetting others.
And this is why House is perfect for him. Because House is such a dick with no fear of upsetting or inconveniencing others that Wilson feels comfortable being a dick back. He doesn't need to bite his tongue and avoid offending House. He can just yell at him for leaving the milk in the fridge door.
Wilson learned at some point in his life that it was his job to keep the boat steady, and accommodate others needs, and it is only through the complete lack of consideration that House shows that he's able to get out of that mindset.
In this essay I will...

... As @long-days-pleasant-nights mentioned in the comments Wilson feels guilty over his brother going missing, and was seemingly held responsible for taking care of his brother. It is likely that throughout his childhood Wilson was not prioritized and learned to live with a lot of small inconveniences. He learned that it was better not to say anything about a small inconvenience rather than say something and be ignored.
But all of these small inconveniences build up over time. This leads him to become explosive over what may seem like a minor frustration. Hence breaking an antique mirror while arguing with someone in a bar.
This becomes incredibly clear in the episode with his ex-wife where House manages to trick him into fighting with Sam through a series of small inconvenience. He doesn't say anything about the milk in the fridge, or the banana peel in the waste paper basket, but it all builds up. Until he gets frustrated over a minor thing and all of these other minor irritations spill out.
However, House was only able to do this because he does know what things irritate Wilson. Which means that Wilson has told him. Because Wilson is completely comfortable expression frustration to House. Because House pushes until he does. Wilson is allowed to be mad at House for little things and big things.
And that is why his relationship with Gregory House is the healthiest relationship James Wilson has ever had.
