HELP ME! give me your opinion?!
Answers: My "best" friend is being such an @$$! I am a strict vegitarian no meat no fish no poultry and I try 2 avoid eggs, He knows this but keeps claiming that im not a veggie and always bugs me! why does he do this?
A lot of people try to discredit vegetarians and vegans by suddenly becoming the Veg Police! I think it must have to do with them trying to catch you do something, because they either think it's impossible to live our lifestyle or they feel threatened for some reason.
He is trying to exert his personality on you.
When you're a veg you are taking a stand against something that everyone knows about but choose to ignore. He is most likely uncomfortable because he knows what you're doing is right. That's what I usually assume when people give me crap about it.
hes testing ur dedication, stay strong
I have that same exact issue you have, he does this because he doesn't want you to be a vegetarian/vegan cause he is nervous that he thought you might die without meat [which is not true] or he is being a jerk, just to make you eat meat, even though I'm a pescetarian and everytime I mention that to any person, they think I haven't lasted a day, I proved it to them that I was a vegetarian for 2 months so they really thought that I'm a vegetarian. Mention that to your friend how long you have been a vegetarian or vegan [different thing].
I don't know him so I don't know why he does it. If you're not eating dead animals or the byproducts of dead animals, you're a vegetarian regardless of what this dude thinks. Here's the definition from the folks who coined the word in the 1840s: http://www.vegsoc.org/info/definitions.h... If you feel like that describes you, then don't worry about what this guy says. Maybe he's keeping it up because he enjoys getting a rise out of you; don't give him the satisfaction.
Because he knows he can bug you. You are insecure about yourself and therefore he has control over you. People who resort to extremes, like referring to "meat" as "dead animals" are mostly insecure and feel unless they are bombastic and over the top they will not be heard.
If you knew the ancient ways of a spiritual path instead of just a political agenda or "diet" you would experience serenity and he would not be able to affect you.
What does it matter what they think if you know them to be wrong?
Why they do it? Seems to be getting a rise out of you - which is more than likely the reason.
he is trying to annoy u
If you are not showing that it annoys you, why are you asking for help? He obviously knows it annoys you or he would not do it. What does it matter to you as long as YOU know who you are.
