Feeling alone

السلام عليكم، I’m wondering if anyone else feels this way. Lately, I’m really worried about how the world is normalizing haram. I feel almost like a stranger here, like I don’t belong, but I know this is a test and I’ll keep trying. Actually, there’s a kind of peace in seeing dunya like this-it helps me not get stuck on trivial things. But still, I feel lonely. I don’t have many friends, and my family thinks I’m weird or boring for practicing my deen. Not sure where this is going, so I’ll just stop here.

I feel like I wrote this myself. The world is getting crazier each day, and holding onto deen is like holding onto hot coals. But we're in this together, even if we're far apart. Stay strong, sister.

This is so real. I've lost friends because I changed and started practicing more. But honestly, I'd rather be alone than with people who pull me away from Allah. You're stronger than you think.

I get you. My own family thinks I'm too extreme just because I don't listen to music or go to mixed gatherings. It's hard but Allah sees our efforts. Maybe join a local sisters' halaqa? That helped me a lot.
