I have a very, very difficult time with certain areas of Tznius. Wearing skirts that give sufficient coverage, wearing tights that are not see-through, wearing my hair in a eidel way (Hashem gave me very pretty, long hair and it takes a lot of sensitivity and strength to wear it toned-down)and not wearing tight clothes are the four most difficult areas of Tznius for me. (I’m not even gonna talk about how hard it is to keep the makeup, perfume, and nail colors in check)
These things are a struggle for me EVERY SINGLE DAY. It does NOT get easier with time, and it’s not always a winning battle for me. There are many thoughts that give me the strength to make the right choices and I am grateful to Hashem for sending certain books/shiurim my way so I can remind myself why and what I am fighting for.
I just want people to understand that not every time you see a girl/woman with a Tznius flaw does it mean that she doesn’t care or doesn’t try. No, I am not a BT, but it is still the most difficult area of Yiddishkeit for me and all I can do for now is keep on fighting and somehow not get discouraged by the occasional decline. And give myself credit for the improvement I’ve made.
Some posters seem to think that Tznius is only about awareness. For many people that seems to be enough. But not for everyone. I am very very familiar with the Halachos, but the struggle is still there.
