Feeling uncomfortable in my PG because my roommates mock my beliefs
Hi everyone,
I’m currently staying in a PG, and something has been bothering me for a while now.
Every day, I apply thiruneer (holy ash) and say a small prayer. It’s something I’ve grown up with, and honestly, it gives me a sense of peace and comfort—especially when I’m away from home.
Recently, my roommates noticed it and started questioning me in a way that didn’t feel respectful. They asked things like “why are you doing this?” and even joked about whether I was doing black magic.
At first, I tried to ignore it, but it actually made me feel uncomfortable and a bit hurt. I’m not forcing my beliefs on anyone—I’m just quietly following something that’s personal to me.
Living away from home is already not easy, and things like this start to affect how comfortable you feel in your own space.
I’m not sure how to deal with this
