Ive been vegan for about three years now and I still deal with a lot of external and internal pressure not to make others uncomfortable with my vegan self. Like, generally if I talk about one aspect of veganism in one breath I have to actively dismiss a more "militant" side of it, regardless of whether or not I actually dislike that aspect (For example: horseback riding, beekeeping, wool). Generally I just dont like conflict, especially not in person conflict. Im definitely one of those people who will mull something that someone said to me over and over and over in my head and keep myself up at night. I care way too much about what others think.
Im pretty much the only vegan I know and Ive had to be like this with pretty much everyone and it gets pretty exhausting.
How have yall dealt with this?
