You guys are what us Ol' timers call Young 'uns.
Take my word for it. it gets easier.
But it's natural and even good for you guys to want to change the world. It's just a
little unrealistic to think you are going to succeed today.
One thing to keep in mind is that veganism is not
only about ending animal exploitation. Its also about increasing the amount of compassion. And we can express that compassion in many ways. Including being nice(r) to nonvegans.
My favorite personal anecdote is that for years I visited my mom just once a year (she lived 3000 miles away) on her birthday. For years and years, I wasn't vegan. But as she got older she would mix me and my brother up. One year she announced she made my very favorite dinner: veal scallopini. She was very proud of her cooking and that she remembered my favorite dinner. I had been vegan (and she had been told over and over) for over 5 years. and the dish was my brother's favorite. (she saw him every week).
And of course, I ate it. Not eating it would not have benefited the poor dead calf. and why would I ever disappoint my mom? Now I realize this is sort of a special and maybe even an extreme case. but really.
She has been dead for many years now. And there are many things I regret about our relationship. but not that dinner.
Keep in mind that you need to be more compassionate - and not just for the poor animals.
But to people and even to yourselves.

oh, and here for homework is my favorite article about dealing with your feelings. I like it a lot. It's sort of about not becoming a militant vegan and becoming a joyful vegan. Hope it helps.
