Now days I try to avoid saying I’m vegan as much as possible because my mental health is fair and I feel lonely. Dealing with all the arguing can be too much sometimes. I hope in the future I would have more confidence for activism and informing others.
There was also a statistic that said vegans are the second most hated group after drug addicts. Neither social stigma is justified. People need to be more compassionate to other beings not matter how rough in a state they’re.
But I would never be a pick me vegan and attack my morals to please others. I don’t care if it makes meat eaters uncomfortable. Deal with it and do better!
Not afraid, just annoying.
Most people can’t think about a single dish without animal products (queue the inevitable “what do you eat?”).
