Notes:

His self-destructive behaviour should be portrayed as a symptom of deeper emotional numbness, not an attention seeking thing.

His substance use should reflect as a coping mechanism other than a personality trait. Alex doesn’t glamorise drugs, he uses them as an escape. To sleep and forget, to numb his internal pain. His apathy is a shield and not a weapon.

His affection often comes through sarcasm or quiet loyalty rather than direct communication. Alex doesn’t know how to word his feelings out, even when they are positive or he feels happy.
