So I (18F) am a muslim woman who's wearing the hijab (headscarf for those who don't know) and I hate it. It feels so suffocating, I feel ugly wearing it, and it makes me resent my religion even more. I once took it off when I was 16-turning 17-and it felt like heaven. But when turned 18, the pressure of wearing it again was placed upon me so I started wearing it again. But I genuinely hate it, I feel like my faith isn't as strong as to when I was not wearing my hijab. I want to tell my mother that I'd like to remove it a second time because I genuinely can't stand looking at myself in the mirror or photos because of how much I hate how I look. But I don't know how to tell her. Additionally, removing the hijab is a very frowned upon act and I'm 100% sure that my mom will not allow me to remove it again because she'd be embarrassed and I would disappoint my family. What should I do? I can't stand wearing the hijab anymore, it makes me cry every night. So how do I tell her all of this and make her understand?

So I (18F) have had these feelings for my best friend (18F) of 10 years since I was 14, maybe even earlier. I love her so much that I don't know what to do with my feelings. I've been ranting to my friends about this to the point that they're getting tired so here I am, asking reddit for advice as to what I do about these feelings of mine. I do plan on confessing in the future and I wanna do it in person, but as of now I just want to regulate my feelings especially since she was just dumped by the guy that was courting her. So help a gal out pls? How do I regulate my feelings for her?

Hi, I don't have anyone to talk to about my feelings so I thought I'd just come to reddit to express what I'm feeling since I don't know what to do with them and I really need to just let it all out.

So I (18F) am in love with my bestfriend (18F) of 10 years (I know, crazy) for 4 years now. She's the sweetest, most caring person I've ever met. She always gets me, has been there for me in times of need, and we share all of the same values. We have never fought once since pur perspective and views of almost every matter aligns.

I thought that I had moved on from her when she started talking to this guy but it failed. The guy stopped courting her because he met a new girl and she's totally heart broken. Ever since then, my feelings started resurfacing and I don't know what to do with them.

I love this woman so much it makes me sick. I love her smile, her voice, her hair, the moles on her face, the way she just sends me random pictures and videos, the way she just shares her random thoughts, the way she's so empathetic and caring, her humor—and most of all—I love that she feels comfortable around me. I want to hug her, kiss her, cherish her, spend time with her, and make her feel loved in every shape and form. I'm mad at the guy for breaking her heart when she's the most precious thing a person can ask for. She knows how to communicate her feelings and is very understanding so I don't know why he would have the guts to break her heart.

Words cannot express enough my love for this woman. She matters to me more than anyone and I would never want to lose her. That's why I plan to hide my feelings for as long as possible but the thought of us being together always haunts me. I really want to be with her so bad, would give up anything. But since she's freshly broken up, I want to give her some time to heal, and maybe if I get the hint that she likes me back, then I'll confess. But for now, I'm content with having her as my bestfriend and would not trade that for the world.

That's all hehe, I just wanted to let all my feelings out since I'm yearning for this girl so bad to the point that I feel like I'm losing my mind.

Ps. Sorry if it's all over the place, I suck at writing
