When I was living with my parents, they forced me to wear a scarf even in the house, and going outside I had to wear a veil almost all the time. Moving out for college was the best thing that happened to me.

Before moving out, I was kind of living a double life, I would leave the house wearing a veil and as soon as got to school, would change into normal westeren clothes. It adversely impacted my relationship with other people (mostly guyz), my confidence was extremely low, I was always anxious around other people and just couldn't LIVE normally.

Moving out for college was like a LIFE SAVER, I went to a collge in a different state and I WAS FINALLY FREE. I immediately stopped covering myself, started dressing more openly and started hanging around alot. The amount of attention I got from guyz helped me overcome my anxiety and loss of confidence, I was told I had a desirable and a gorgeous body, I even lost my virginity as a freshman.

Now as a university junior, I'm much more out going and confident about myself and my surrounding. I won't say modesty is a myth but for me it wasn't doing anything. Now I'm living the best version of myself, I have good grades, a loving bf and above all I CAN FIT EASILY IN THE SOCIETY WITHOUT BEING LABELLED AS AN OUTCAST.
