friend was pressured to wear hijab and it makes me so sad
I have a friend who was pressured to put on the hijab at the age of 18, and it makes me so sad because I can tell she does not like it but lies to herself and others. I do not wear a hijab, and whenever I do my hair or ask her for help to do my hair, she kinda offhandedly mentions how she wished she did this or she wished she had more time to enjoy her hair and it just breaks my heart but I can't say anything because she is muslim and thinks that I am too.
its always a comment here or there like encouraging me to try a new style because I can still wear my hair out and enjoy it and I am just thinking you could enjoy it too!! its so hard because I dont want to lose that friendship but I worry about making things complicated by getting in the way.
and honestly I see that path coming for me some day because I have felt some more recent pressure from family to start wearing it but I just do not see that in my future at all im denying it as long as I can
