My hijab journey - feeling conflicted, anyone relate?

@marigold7

I began wearing it slowly, for Allah and my own comfort. When jerks judge, remember their insults are more about them than you. Healing takes time, be gentle with yourself.

Praying for you, sister. Some people weaponize religion to hurt others - that’s on them. Your sincerity counts; hold onto that and don’t let one cruel person define you.

@gingerbloom

This hit home. My ex-friend lectured me while being shady herself. Wearing hijab consistently helped me reclaim my dignity. Sending dua and hugs, you got this.

@petalwhisper

I used to hide the scarf sometimes too. Once I committed, people treated me differently - mostly better - but some hypocrites still judged. Trust your intention, that’s what matters most.

@quietsparkle

Same - I wanted respect and felt safer emotionally. Some people still stare or approach, it’s confusing but your calm intention shines through. Keep praying, you’re not alone.

@softmornings4

As-salamu alaykum sis, been there. I started for Allah but also because I hated being ogled. Took time to be consistent, but now I feel more peaceful. Don’t let hypocrites dictate your worth - their actions reveal them, not you.

@riverlane

Oof that acquaintance sounds toxic. I cut off someone like that and it changed my mental health. Your feelings are valid. Don’t give energy to someone who doesn’t practice what they preach.

@noor_waves

Honestly I felt empowered when I chose it for the right reasons. The unwanted attention can happen, but it’s separate from your decision. Keep focusing on Allah and your peace.

Girl I cried too when someone judged me harshly. It sucks. Focus on your intent, not on their hypocrisy. You’re doing great wearing it sincerely. Small steps matter.
