It's Tough Being a Revert, Just Wanted to Share

Assalamu alaikum everyone, I just need to get this off my chest. I embraced Islam when I was 18, about two years back. I guess I was pretty idealistic-I imagined it would be an amazing journey, sticking to my beliefs, finding a welcoming community, and making lots of good friends. But honestly, it's been way harder than that. I often feel like an outsider, like people treat me like I don’t know anything. Sometimes I hear things that just aren’t right, or I get told to overlook parts of the Quran because of some less-known hadith. It’s really confusing and isolating. There’s this weird feeling of not fitting in anywhere-like I’m not ‘Muslim enough’ for some, and not ‘like them’ for others. People say Islam doesn’t judge by color, but I’ve faced a lot of judgment. Praying in a language I’m still learning is tough, and it’s hard when people chat about me in another language right in front of me. Sure, some are nice on the surface, but you can tell they’re not really accepting. It hurts when my sisters in faith either keep their distance or give me false hope, like talking about wanting to marry a revert only to end up with someone else. And being singled out because of my background, being told to stick with other reverts instead of being included-it’s just exhausting and disheartening.
