Daasyochid- the way I was taught to be tznious for example. I grew up frum and dressed however I wanted because thats the standard of the community my family is in. I always wanted to follow what the other girls were doing. When I went to seminary I finnaly learned hilchos tznious for he first time. I sat down with my teacher and cried how if I started coverig my knees id be totally frowned upon in my community bacj home. If I wanted to cover my elbows and bH when I was married cover all my hair and not show that whole front area like many ladies I know do, people wpulecall me names. It was a matruity and growth experiance but I learned the basics of halacha what needs to be covered and I started from the bottom seeing how it made me feel. Giving it a chance and learning in the side the beauty of tznious. Its not simply the fact that my body was now being covered its that I knew for a fact that when I walked the steeets people werent looking at me for my body. I was able to start growing in the indide because I felt beautiful and I felt that my outside was becoming who I was. It is a total body experiance but it really starts back at the basics. Its not something that can be forced because then you end up with girls who say “at least were wearing stockings” when there skirts r barley covering their knees. Or on the other hand you get girls who have no care for tznious because they are following the trends and trying to keep up with the stars in hollywood.
