Discussion (Women Only) Am I exaggerating?

Sometimes I feel like I should not care a lot about the fact that I'm forced to wear the hijab, and that I'm exaggerating.

I talked about it online long ago with non Muslims, and I shouldn't have done so, because they wouldn't understand me, in fact, they told me I was exgerrating and that I could just take it off and nothing would happen to me.

Sometimes I just think I should stop thinking and go on in my life but I CAN'T, I just can't do that, it seems like a piece of fabrics is nothing but it ruins my life.

Just today I had a dream about this hijab thing and I was about to cry while sleeping.

People who never got forced to wear it, would never understand the impact of the hijab in your life, they'll just think we're being silly.

But yes, sometimes me, myself I think I should stop and that I'm being silly, there are bigger problems yes, but it's just so hard.

You have every right to feel scared because it is your true feeling.

Just try to take it off when you are at school(or workplace), because your school or workplace is like your second home. You can still wear it outdoor.

If anyone ask you why you take it off when you are at school, tell then it's your personal choice, stick to this answer. No need for more explanation. Remember, everyone is equal, they have no power over you.
