I was in a large Yeshiva where everyone wore velvet, and I wore knitted because I wasn’t about to go buy a new kipa just because everyone else was doing it. I wasn’t rebelling, making a statement, or calling out for help. I just did my own thing and didn’t really care to be a bit different. I really don’t see the big deal… I did well there and nobody even seemed to notice my kipa. People who need to make drama and look down on others will make drama and look down on others, whether it be for kipa material, a chumra that others don’t keep, or any other reason they can find. To propose I suffer from mental health problems for not caring what you think… well let’s just say it’s not hard to find a sibah to flash your arrogance.
