Sometimes, Being a Revert Can Feel Isolating

Salam Alaikum, brothers and sisters. Alhamdulillah, I embraced Islam back in November, and my heart has been at peace with the truth I found. But lately, I’ve been struggling with something. At my university’s Muslim student group, I often feel overlooked-like those of us who weren’t born into the faith are seen as a separate kind of Muslim. Maybe it’s just me, but it hurts a bit, especially when I’ve chosen this path for the sake of Allah SWT, even when it meant going against what my family taught me growing up. At events, people are always polite and exchange greetings, but beyond that 'Salam Alaikum,' I haven’t built any close bonds. I worry: if I can’t even make good friends here, how will I ever find a righteous spouse someday? Just needed to share that. May Allah SWT reward you for listening.
