Seeking medical opinions and solutions
My best guess is high neuroplasticity coupled with depression led to post-natal malformation of the cingulate cortex. I believe medical marijuana may legitimately be of assistance if coupled with diet and exercise, but it's not available in my state.

You're probably right about the aspergers (even then it got swallowed by ASD and doesn't exist anymore) though.
Read any book by Barbara Arrowsmith-Young. "The Girl who Changed her Brain" will do. Stop the pseudo-intellectual conjecture, it's literally bad for your health.

This would imply knowledge of how to obtain it. Somehow I feel like walking up to strangers in back alleys and saying "I have $100 cash on me, do you sell weed?" is a bad idea.

>be me
>do martial arts and a bit of weightlifting
yesterday i wasn't centered enough during sparring, i counciously knew what i had to work and what to do but my body simply wasn't responding the way i wanted, it was quite static.
today i was working out and it wasn't a good workout, it was just mediocre, not good not bad, just meh. I felt again that "off center" feeling.
I thought about my work and life, triying to find out if there was something wrong that might be distracting me but everything seems fine.
It's something that just happens from time to time or it might be something unconsciously?

At my school I have been single for 3 months now after being in a year and a half long relationship and I want to go after this one girl but I have no idea how to approach girls or flirt with them anymore, how do I get my game back and move on past my ex also?

Just focus on the new girl.
Don't dwell on the ex. There are probably good reasons why you broke up.
>>
Nigga, it's been 3 months not 3 years. If you feel like you're ready to move on, which seems like the case because you have a crush, just fucking do it. If you're stuck on you're ex oh well, wait it off. Do something that takes your mind off her besides persecution of possible pain.

I'm trying really hard not to sound full of myself
I've always been an attractive guy, but ever since I grew my hair out from a buzz cut, the response has been overwhelming. I am terribly antisocial so I have no idea what to do when people (especially guys) flirt with me. How can I stop being so damn awkward all the time?
In a span of 10 minutes:
1-
>Hey Anon, do you remember my name?
>Can I play with your hair?
>*Plays with my hair while two others talk to me*
2-
>Hey, what's your name?
>You're hot as fuck
>Just joking, I-I mean not joking but-
3-
>I love your eyelashes
>What's your ethnicity?
What am I supposed to do here? I've drafted this several times in fear of coming off as conceited, but this happens everyday. I don't want it to stop, of course, but I would like to know how to not just sit there blushing and spurting out multiple thank-you's.
Not posting self, but I'm basically Missandei

make a stock list of 20 pre-prepared responses that are dismissive but clever. Cycle through them.
Start with:
"hey, I love your hair"
"thanks, I made it myself"
>>
>>17689665
That's really useful, thanks. Though I guarantee a good bit will be extremely cringy.
>>
>>17689692
If making a list is too hard you could always just give a compliment back. See how people respond to it. Steal behaviors and responses that you like or found charming.

Just a quick question:
Would a barber be willing to cut you beard?
Is it something people generally do?
Would it be weird?
I ask because I am considering growing out a beard, and I want to know my options if I ever want to get rid of it.
Of course, I could just shave it all off myself, but I don't have an electric razor, and I am using a shared dorm restroom anyway, so it might be difficult to do.

Barbers style beards, not sure about making you clean shaven.

>>17689629
So I could go to the barber and say "can you completely shave off my beard?"
And he would say "yeah sure m8"
And no one would even look over?

I'm not going to get into serious details, but here's the story. I've been dating a girl online for a few weeks now. I know, online dating? Dangerous shit. But I have been careful, made sure to find her on multiple social media profiles, background image searches from those profiles, the works. We've talked on the phone a lot and I can confirm she's a woman, her facebook profile seems to be her, has many friends who are real people and not fake accounts, etc. We've had very serious and intimate phone conversations for up to 12 hours at a time, this isn't a catfish is what I'm saying.
She called me up today saying that her mom is kicking her out of her home. She makes her mom out to be a very unstable person. The only thing is that all the info just sounds like the whole world is against her, like nothing is her fault and everyone just wants to fuck her over, which just doesn't make sense. Again, I'm not getting into heavy details, mostly to save time, but I feel like I'm not getting the full story, or I'm getting a made up story. Currently don't have any money in the bank and I'm operating off cash, so I can't do a background check on her. We've both admitted that there are parts of our lives we haven't shared with each other yet, and I asked her if there was anything else going on that she wasn't telling me about that could be causing these family issues, but it's all "my mom is just insane and she's been drinking and she thinks I'm an ungrateful asshole."
Aside from that, she told me recently that her phone is some piece of shit with no camera, but I realized a few minutes ago that she did indeed send me a picture from her phone a couple weeks back.
Our conversations have gone very deep, this isn't a fake person, but she's not telling me something. My main concern is that there's a large mental institution in the city she's living in, and she might be out from that place and maybe spinning a web to find someone she can use as a stepping stone. What can I do?

Try and contact a friend or the mom

stalk her facebook with a fine tooth comb looking for someone she had a falling out with, try and get in contact with them to ask about her.
>>
>>17689619
The thing is, I can't directly view her friends list. I can scroll through her feed, see the people who comment and like, go to their profile and see "mutual friends" and her name, so I don't know who's who or how they know each other.

Hey /adv, Im 18 years old and studying in uni atm. However, I really want to move out of my mom's house due to family complications. (Hate abusive sister and asshole brother-in-law, severely autistic brother who rages at mom almost everyday, mom never seems to be happy about any accomplishments in my life.) I have student loan available that I can use for rent, and was so close to doing it back in september but pussied out. This time, I really want to do it but am still hesitating. What do I do??

Just do it man. It's going to be hard. It's going to be painful. And it's going to suck. Don't keep yourself in that shit. You're not evil and you won't go to hell for it. You need to live your life and grow as a person. Support for your family doesn't require you to live with them.
>>
Most apartments will make you get someone to co-sign the lease if you can't provide proof you make an income of three times the rent or so. So you're probably going to need to do that if you plan on renting yourself.
If you can't do that, perhaps look at student housing or getting a sub-lease?

What are some actionable things I can do to cultivate the virtue of humility (which is the virtue against the sin of pride).
Anything that I can actually take action about would be best, not just thinking positive thoughts about people.
For example, if I wanted to cultivate the virtue of charity against the sin of greed, I would take the action of donating some of my money to those that need it. What is the version of this for humility?
pic related, humility is a major key.

Maybe...be a waiter at a super fancy, uptown restaurant for a day, and then feed the homeless the next? To gain perspective?
Think about/read about the 'interconnected-ness' of everything in the cosmos and our place in it. Realize what a small, silly thing it is to make pride your number one priority.
>>
>>17689584
>which is the virtue against the sin of pride
You don't cultivate humility. You cultivate self confidence. Anyone confident about themselves won't be prideful or arrogant at all, because there is literally no need for it.
Humility is great. But it can easily lead you to the other extreme: lack of confidence, because everyone will step on you.
t. someone who's working through low confidence issues.

At the moment I am eating a lot
I think I'm subconsciously bulking for winter because it's so cold
Is this normal?
I am quite slight - 178cm / 5'10" and 62kg / 136 lbs - so I guess I could do with some bulk.

And just to say, I've never found myself doing this in the past.
Then again, since I moved out at 18 (I'm 25 now), I have dreaded the winter more and more.
I never used to think anything of winter (probably because my mum would have the heating on all the time). But living in some freezing places has caused me to start dreading it now.
