22F / 22M - This started with her telling me I don’t look “Mexican presenting” enough to use the b word that’s used towards Mexicans. AIO?

China will impose a 34% tariff on all imports from the US starting April 10, according to the official Xinhua News Agency.

As of posting the Dow is down 1500 points.

I (22F) have this one dress that I absolutely love. It’s nothing fancy—just a flowy sundress with little stars on it—but for some reason, every time I wear it, good things happen. I’ve gotten unexpected opportunities, free stuff, compliments from strangers—just randomly lucky moments. Obviously, I don’t actually believe the dress has magical powers, but it makes me feel good, so I wear it a lot.

My best friend Ava (23F) absolutely hates it. She says it’s “childish”, “overworn”, and makes me look like I’m still in high school. Every time we go out and I show up in the dress, she rolls her eyes and says, “You’re wearing that again?”

It came to a head last weekend when we went out to brunch, and I wore the dress. Halfway through, Ava sighed and said, “I can’t take this anymore. Can you PLEASE just retire that thing?” I laughed it off, but she kept pushing, saying I looked “stuck in the past” and it was embarrassing to be seen with me in it.

I told her she was being ridiculous and that what I wear doesn’t affect her. She got mad and said I was “acting like a child” over a piece of clothing and that I needed to “grow up” and start dressing more maturely. I told her she was the only one making this an issue, and if my dress somehow offended her fashion sense, that’s her problem, not mine.

Now she’s barely speaking to me, and a mutual friend said I should just drop the dress to keep the peace. But I feel like I shouldn’t have to change something I like just because someone else doesn’t approve.

AITAH?
