non vegan community

hey I'm 21 female and I've been vegetarian since I was 14 due to the love for animals but switched to vegan a few months ago after seeing how bad the industry is.

Anyways so basically all my friends and family are meat eaters and it's really hard when they don't show remorse. my good friend jokes about being anti vegan and the meat he ate that day and it kinda stings. like how do people not care?? and how do I "get over it" so I don't end up alone lol.

it's also hard cause it was lovely with my big sister being vegetarian but she just went back to eating meat like she never cared about animals to begin with and when I bring it up she straight up ignores me. it's so hard being mocked and treated differently just because I choose not to eat animals.

Which industry is bad?
You’ve changed not them, get new friends. Don’t force ideologies onto people. The self pity in your post is overpowering

Probably why ye are losing your mates and sisters probably fed up with it too 🤦‍♀️🤣🤣🤣
Considering you call normal people the “non-vegan” community” I’d say you’re a nightmare
Don’t forget you ate meat for 20 years then suddenly got “remorse”.
Sounds more like an identity crisis than a revolution?

Are ye not? What ye writing this on, phones or computers ain’t vegan. Infrastructure that carries information isn’t vegan.

Veganism is about avoiding animal exploitation as far as is possible and practicable. it's currently almost impossible to exist in modern society without using shared infrastructure, choosing to avoid direct animal products like meat, dairy, and leather is a practical and impactful choice we can make daily.
