It is rare that one is stopped (forcefully, from the rosh hayshiva, etc.) from learning part-time what they want to, and as in OP’s case, that didn’t happen, just someone contended their decision. Then OP says that yeshiva bochurim can’t express themselves. It seems more like OP gave into peer pressure. Why didn’t he explain to the avreich his motivations for doing his thing, and/or ignore him?
