I was only around Saudi brothers and niqabi sisters for my first 2 years of being a muslim. Never spoke to any of the muslimahs and wasn't allowed to know their names. Strict purdah was observed at all times.

After I moved to another state.

I went to the local mosque for junnah and a Moroccan brother invited me to his house for supper. When I got there dinner was ready and another muslim couple was also guests for dinner.

Both of their wives were not wearing hijab and we all sit down at one table to eat.

I remember feeling soo uncomfortable and really wanted to leave.

That must have had a big effect on you. The environment can effect anyone and everyone, yanno. Even though I was born and bred just around the corner from your Masjid, I grew up mostly in an environment of Niqab and separation between men and women. Despite now living in a free for all, gender mixing society, growing up like that has made me feel uncomfortable around women too.
