I know exactly how you feel, i'm sure other revert sisters do also.
It's a whole worry about how your family, friends, family friends will act towards you.
Personally, fear is holding me back also imsad. There is not a big muslim community where I live, although there is one in the next town and I feel it would draw unwanted attention to me if I wore the hijab right here and now.
Only you can know when it is right. Do you attend a mosque? I assume if you do, you'd wear a hijab there, then maybe you could just keep it on until you get home and build it up bit by bit like that.
What about moving to a muslim populated area, where you would feel more comfortable wearing a hijab with others wearing it to?
I'm sure other sisters can advise better.
but I am in the same postion as you :statisfie
May allah make it easier for you :statisfie
