Why is it so difficult to be accepted as a person when you are a vegan?
I am vegan, and no one understands me, not even my best friend who I have bean best friends with for 14 years!

It has more to do with attitude I think. If you go quietly about your lifestyle choice then I agree with one of the participants here, you "get better results".
There will always be those who "don't understand", but the fact that someone has been you friend for 14 years certainly says something about your friendship. I don't understand everything about my friends ... and I don't have to . . . I just accept them as they are.
I think you may be pushing the "fanatical vegan" envelope if you are "craving" for people to "understand me". So just back off, maintain quietly the lifestyle you have chosen for yourself, and move on. Don't get into the "crazies" that we have on the V&V forum ... Veganism is a lifestyle choice .... not a religion. It is for some .. not for everbybody.
