Heyo. I’m a hijabi and I get what you mean but I think you lack in confidence in general. You need to feel confident in yourself and then you need to realise that the hijab is a part of you and you should wear it like a shield basically (basically just own it and be the main character).

I used to be extremely shy and didn’t really make proper friends (but I didn’t think it was because of my hijab) but around year 10 and 11, I realised that it was my attitude and the way I carried myself that held me back. Like I used to not talk much and was rather closed off so obviously I’d have trouble making friends. To change that I basically realised that everyone’s just doing their thing and I should too. If I met someone new, I’d try to start a conversation even if I felt super nervous (which helped build my confidence). Doing that slowly helped me feel more happy with myself and more confident too cause I felt like it was a huge accomplishment for me so I just kept thinking that I should do what I think is right and good and just do it.

Also, everyone feels insecure about something so it’s completely normal for you to assume that they may look at your scar etc but truth be told, they’re most probably too busy thinking about their own problems and security to have any hatred towards you for a scar. And I have to say, some people feel like taking their hijabs off, it won’t help. If anything, that would make things tougher.


Lmk if you wanna talk :smile: give yourself pep talks, it truly may help!
