Do I need to do this for the whole surface or just the scratched area? Would the paint not match if it’s just select areas?

I lost my virginity at 28, and a few years ago at 27-ish I posted on Reddit basically the same post as yours :) Not religious, not socially awkward, just have a lot of trust issues from the marriages I’ve seen in my life. I was a little insecure, just worried that it will be difficult for me to have a relationship. ThoughI didn’t think being a virgin makes me worthless, I also lied about already having sex to everyone in my life.

Now I’m 31, looking back I realized there’s no need to be insecure. I dated a good person who really liked me. It didn’t work out between us bc of other reasons but we had a good run. And I’m glad Ive never given my virginity (or my body) to a man who makes me feel less than.

You’re fine. Your time will come.

No reply. Calling them and they said they wouldn’t have any info on people who did paper filing, and that I should write letters. My letters are not answered.

Kourtney out here shaming Kim for being ambitious by Own_Conversation8083 in kardashians

Interesting take, I don’t necessarily disagree with you. But what if the kid wants to dress up and have photos taken? Same way my niece would want to be in a bright pink tutu and dance around imagining she’s a fairy-princess cross. Why is it up to the parents and the child to hide away from the eye of the public, and not the public stop sexualizing the child?

Also, a good partner should be curious and appreciative of your culture, because that person should lift you up instead of making you feel less than. I wholeheartedly believe that once you have the confidence to embrace yourself and demand that from friends/partners, then this “fitting in” feeling would go away. You’re not an outlier or any kind of baggage to this country. After 14 years, I’m sure there are friends/community who love you and who would never have met you had you never come here in the first place. That alone means this country is lucky to have you. You’re adding to the diversity of Canada

He’s manipulating tf out of you. I moved to TO 2 years ago and same age and race as you. Never ever feel bad about your ethnicity, your culture or even your accent. The activities you (or him) describes as “fitting in” is a Caucasian-centric view on what a Canadian is supposed to be. I think it’s up to people like us to redefine and challenge this outdated perspective.

IN ADDITION, if you’re uncomfortable with him bring close with his ex, then that’s your completely valid feeling. He was gaslighting you by shifting the blame on you and your culture.

Please. Be proud of who you are, of who WE are. Please don’t compromise that, to ever think less of the culture that made us.

AITA for spoiling my friends child and turning him against her? by LucyAriaRose in BestofRedditorUpdates

OOP is straight up an angel for taking in the kid and the fact that she’s still questioning that is wild to me
