ANSWER:

You must choose between pleasing Allah and obeying Him or pleasing them!

My cousins (men) tend to joke with me allot and talk friendly. But then when I don’t laugh or keep the conversation short I feel like they get annoyed or feel like I’m targeting them. Then I feel alone because I have to sit alone in parties to eat because of my Niqab. I don’t want them to think I’m being rude or “too religious”
