  Haya has a lot of shades that can be seen in physical appearance and in a person’s inner self. Haya is in your speech, worship, dressing and in all our dealings with people. It is also the feeling that we get when we say something that we shouldn’t, and we realize it later. We get a prick in our consciousness that makes us say that we shouldn’t have done that. Hiding our secret thoughts from others that we don’t want anybody to know is also a form of haya. But if a person doesn’t have haya then what is exposed in front of others may it be your body or a dirty thought it doesn’t really matter. Haya is like a circuit breaker from Allah as it protects the appliances from burning when there’s a surge in voltage so haya protects us from a lot of the deeds that can burn us in the hereafter.

They told you how your dreams are a waste of time, how the things that you think will make you special are the things that made everyone special, in turn making you an average person. They told you that your creativity is risky and shouldn't be followed.   And you know what the biggest mistake you've there done was, you listened to them. All of them.
