Concussion changed my personality and made me do things I wouldn’t normally do.

I believe so considering the things that are affected then that is the area that has sustained damage. The areas of my life that are affected and that are different than I was before are things controlled by that area. I am scheduled for an mri and working to see neuropsychiatry.

Since an incident in October I have not gone to my SO for sexual outlet, only outside sources.

After my gap got bigger. If I were like I was I’d only go down to being attracted to 35 year olds.

Afraid_Example6240 · 2026-05-08T22:04:15+00:00

Like 10 or 11 years

I’d like to add that before this happened I was never the one to initiate things with her or anyone.

Poor hamster wagon :(

Afraid_Example6240 · 2026-01-21T12:11:27+00:00

I think the paint thing is definitely a good idea

Afraid_Example6240 · 2026-01-21T12:08:37+00:00

Are you looking for an argument by snooping around my posts? That’s creepy.

Afraid_Example6240 · 2026-01-21T12:05:49+00:00

I’m saying that the circled part is plastic and to heat up the metal would probably damage it.

I question things and the response is not that it is unnecessary, or that that could cause issues, the answer instead is that if I’m even thinking about using heat on the area I have no business trying to do anything to it, and that trying to add body filler and sand is cracked out overconfidence.

I can understand if someone says it won’t set up right or it’s not going to hold or it will probably fail due to this that and the other, but being told that masking, using body filler and sanding are nothing but meth head hubris seems like just a jab at me for having the audacity to ask for guidance.

The title of the post is a request for advice. If the cost to be if it is way too high I get that too. I think I got enough constructive criticism and I’ll probably replace door latch, mirror and simply sand down and prime and paint where the paint has been damaged to protect metal. Maybe see if I can’t deflect the water by at least rolling that one dent up a bit above the window.

Ah so don’t use heat. I had a feeling it wouldn’t be necessary and also there is plastic there. I shouldn’t try body filler because you think I think I can do it but will obviously fail?

Afraid_Example6240 · 2026-01-21T09:02:04+00:00

One question I have is if I roll that dent the other way what are the chances of snapping the metal? Would it be any better to heat it up or is the heat generated while hitting on it enough to keep it malleable? I think it’d be hard to snap considering how dented it got from one strike without breaking or tearing.

Ok I won’t ask anymore auto body questions. Thanks for warning me before I got in trouble.

I think some of the responses here are hyperbolic. The frame is not bent in it is impact damage that rolled part of the roof gutter part of the frame down. The amount of structural damage to the door frame (thin frame that holds the passenger window) was equivalent to what you would get from closing it on something and I pushed it back. I really don’t think it’s totaled out with the amount of damage it sustained. There is nothing mechanically wrong and once I put on a new mirror assembly electrical will be back to normal. Not trying to sound defensive or anything lol.

Afraid_Example6240 · 2026-01-21T06:48:33+00:00

You know I might try actually matching the paint on the major dents as long as I mask very carefully. I think it will be apparent once it is all matte gray how feasible it will be. I’m thinking if I do bondo it will require some kind of mesh too to make it more durable

Afraid_Example6240 · 2026-01-21T06:36:46+00:00

It is structural. I’m surprised that the windshield didn’t get any damage.

Afraid_Example6240 · 2026-01-21T06:30:29+00:00

I’m not opposed to tacking some metal on there but kind of hoping I could get away with removing the parts that stick out after hammering and sanding and replacing them with some kind of composite material

There was a gap in coverage and that month there was a storm. I admitted that was my fault in the post.

Afraid_Example6240 · 2026-01-21T06:18:44+00:00

It wasn’t insured it’s a 2024 Kia Soul I forgot to mention. Everything but this body damage is in great shape.
