I woke up, took a shower, decided to go to the public library and didn’t know what to wear. I looked behind the door and found some pants that were there forever and decided it is time to wear them. I wore a long shirt and a sweater for a top and worst of all I wear hijab so I had to put it on. When I got to the library it got hot inside so I took off the sweater and tucked the shirt in.
I was living my best life going through the library. Walking while studying because it makes my brain work better. I went to every floor, switched places at least 3 times and took a walk outside for a break. I finally found a good place but some people were staring and I thought it was okay like I stare at everyone, everyone stares at me so no big deal. I decided to go get some water and then some coffee from the grocery store outside. I was standing waiting for a girl to get some water so I can get one after and an old man behind me stared at me and then turned his face to the exact opposite I wanted to be nice and I went back to let him have water first. The man left from the door. A girl came after and she said “your pants are ripped from back there”.
I was stunned because I never noticed. I was so stunned because I didn’t even know since when it was ripped and how many people saw my ass today while I’m wearing hijab. I tucked the shirt out and wore the sweater again. I thought of leaving but that would leave me with my thoughts all day long and no studying. I later decided to go buy new pants and to stay there convincing myself that anyone could have been in such a situation and it just happens and maybe no one even noticed except for couple people. However, it is killing me now and I think I won’t be going there for a while until people forget about it because when I remember the stares even after buying the new pairs makes me feel bad and like very insecure about myself around these same people that I see every time I go there.
TL;DR: I wear hijab and somehow did not feel that my pants are ripped in the public library. A girl told me and I stayed there all day long after buying a new pair and I feel like I should have left and I don’t want to go back there for a while.
