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!

    I think vegans, as a whole, have a deserved reputation.

        carnists

        I’m not even sure what you mean by that. Which means whoever they are, they have no reputation at all.

          Your ignorance cannot be used to prove anything. That’s sophistry (another word should look up) and it’s pathetic. It’s the sort of thing you expect to hear from a person trying to bulwark their worldview against their own cognitive dissonance; it doesn’t need to make sense, it just has to distract you from the feelings and ideas you are unwilling to process.

          You come here to cause trouble and insult people, but vegans are the issue, not your outrageous fragility. Okay, pal. Spend some time with yourself.
