What does it mean?
Was this a confrontational experience, or was it "Wow, please try and attract me"

I heard the key to stopping hoarding is to hold an object in your hands and ask "does this spark joy?" and only if you FEEL the joy coming from it do you get to keep it.
But this describes literally none of the objects I own, including things that are essential to my survival. It's possible I haven't felt joy in years. I assume the intent of that advice wasn't to make people become homeless, naked and starving.
That means the "does this spark joy?" method is bullshit, right? It's not just me who's crazy? Because if other people actually feel joy from holding mundane things like a spoon or a sock, that seems crazy to me.

I've basically stopped leaving the house except for when I work/run errands.
Where do 19 year olds "hang out"?

I apologize for the long explanation, but I'm getting desperate.

I used to play on a soccer team in the southern United States. Before one of my games, we (My Mom, Dad, brother, and I) went to a local restaurant to eat. After the meal, I had to go to the bathroom, so my Mom went to go put something (I don't remember what) in the trunk of my dad's car. What my mom forgot, however, was that the mechanism that keeps the trunk open didn't work on his car, so when she bent in to put something in, the trunk came down and hit her on the head. I don't know exactly what happened next (I was inside the restaurant), but I soon learned that my Mom had a concussion. She was released later that day, but ever since then, she has had awful migraines.
That was eight years ago. I was eleven years old. I didn't know what the hell happened. For the next eight years, she spend most of the time, my childhood, in bed. The migraines aren't quite as bad as they used to be, but they still affect her.

/adv/, these migraines took my mother away from me. I mean, she's alive, she can still walk and talk and stuff, but she can't really go outside for that long because the heat and the weather can trigger a migraine.

Please, help me.
Tell me everything you know about migraines. Bring me everything you can find. Every professional you can locate. Every bit of information can help.
Godspeed, 4chan.

I'm thinking about actually getting a GF this year at college instead of manwhoring. I'm honestly kind of afraid of getting cheated on though

I'm too insecure to hold my own opinions and rely strictly on others to help solidify my thoughts. How do I move past this?

I managed to invite my ex to come over while the house is free, next tuesday.
She said yes and I'm not trying to get her back, I'm actually trying to fuck her and get back to my business. Do you think her approval is somewhat of an approval to have sex or should not even beg the question and just have some time with her as some kind of date ? I guess I'm an asshole to even bring that up but I'd rather ask you than ask her and feel awkward because she strucks me with a big no.

She has not gone out with anyone (and it's been more than 6 months since we broke up) and she admitted to me that she wanted to see me but she didn't have the gut to do it since she doesn't know where to put me (as a friend or not, since she still have feelings for me)

My theory is that she thinks we could still go out together (we didn't broke up on a harsh matter it was just best for us to do so) but I don't plan on going out with her.
What do you think ?

A few weeks ago I matched with a girl on tinder, I made contact with her and she seemed interested.
We exchanged snapchats and have since sent each other some passive snaps etc once a while, but not really talked much since.
I asked her if she wanted to meet and she said yes. After no contact for a few days I jokingly asked her if she really did want to meet and it's fine if she didn't. Yet again she said she did want to meet, but said she is busy.
It has now gone a week since that and she have not take any initiative to meet.

Time is running up since I'm leaving town in 4 days and not coming back for maybe 4-6 months which she knows.

Wat to do? Do I ask her again? If so what do I say to remind her I want to meet and at the same time not seem desperate.

Help

Does anyone here know much about botany or some shit?
I had a bonsai and it got blown over by strong wind, being completely uprooted. Im wondering if it will survive being re potted.
Also, how would i go about breeding the tree? Do i like just plant a root of it or something? It doesnt have any seeds. I really know anything about plant reproduction.
(Pic isn't my tree)

So I don't exactly have anything tragic going on in my life, but nothing neat either. To be completely honest, I'm quite a boring phuck. One day, 16yo me decided that I'm not being productive enough, and that I should really step up my game. Skip to 3 years later, and I'm still a miserable loser who has barely any social connections, can't sustain good habits and is going through the same, tiring loop of inspiration followed by depression. (think internet browsing, junk food, all that good stuff..) That's why out of desperation I'm turning to you guys to keep it real, as most advice from other people, gurus, morivational speakers I find is full of horseshit.

I'm thinking about asking a girl out I fooled around with a few months ago and got cold feet with. We had hung out and had sex but I was living on my friends couch at the time and I was too embarrassed to continue seeing her so I really shut down and cut off contact with her. About a month ago I texted her a long apology for doing that and we texted for most of the day but then it stopped. I've been thinking about asking her out for a while but I don't know if she'd be receptive since I bitched out the first time and we don't talk frequently. Should I text her and ask her out to a real date or should I let it go?

Pretty mundane seek of advice compared to the rest of these posts... Here goes.

>been attending uni for 2 semesters now
>not many friends
>befriended female in like march/april
>instantly have a crush on her, thought it would pass
>been meeting for walking trips and generally smalltime clubbing and dinner meals
>totally thought she was into me because she asked me out to dinner first and we did it pretty often at first. Friends screwed with my brain saying "yeah that means she's totally into you"
>there were signs of her liking me at first, though i think they have kinda faded now
>almost sure i fucked up any chance with her, since i said that i liked her while being very drunk
>kinda fixed it, we never directly spoke about the incident
>still see each other a lot and we both have a good time
not all is well though, for me
>she has started writing "friend" in her messages to me
>it hurts to be around her, in my heart
>i very much like her, and would like to confess my feelings for her
I am not sure i should though. I am on edge when around her, thinking what i should say and stuff (not that much more though, after she started calling me a "friend" i loosened up a bit) but still isn't this an indicator that this is not going to be a good relationship? I've heard it's good to be on your toes in a relationship, but not to the point where you fear of what you say
>it's starting to hurt a lot more. Everytime she's going clubbing my heart crumbles.
>went to social drinking event with her and friends, pretty sure she was flirting with someone. I couldn't focus on the fun at all that night, and ended up going home 'cause of it.

What do /adv/?
Tell her my true feelings (which i think she knows) and risk almost certain rejection, and perhaps a lost friendship?
I really do like being around her, but i can't keep my feelings at bay. And i don't want to lose her.
Can i still be friends with her afterwards? or will it be just too weird?
Thoughts or advice my friends?

My brothers 22nd birthday is coming up and I have no idea what to do for him, I'm always bad at this kind of stuff. What should I do with him for his birthday? What did you do on your 22nd birthday?

I'm kinda poor though so I'm trying to be practical while still trying to show him a good time. Usually my family just goes out to a restaurant to have dinner but that's just boring at this point. I really want him to have a good time.
