You should not feel so bad about it, see I'm constantly told by others that I tend to appear rude and unfriendly, unsocial etc. I hardly get along with people I'm mostly alone at home, I see this is not healthy for my social interactions, however I feel comfortable this way, I guess I will try...
Religion in my opinion is more about the spiritual path, the divinity, the closeness you feel with God, through prayer or meditation. Rules come in second and should be developed according to time.
You cannot do anything with it on, work, go to school etc. People will stare at you and abuse you, it's really dangerous to wear it without having someone accompany you, PLUS and that's probably the true reason behind MY removing it I found it was unneccessary to wear it especially in the west...
