Anyone else sick of lack of support of choosing to not eat meat?

I dont care what anyone else chooses to eat, so why does everyone seem to make it a big deal and hassel at meal time's when I choose to not eat the meat and dairy?? I dont mind working around what has been served or cooked.. I mean I will just eat the veggies and have a peice of bread and be done with dinner, but I am getting very sick of eating infront of people because of the negative reactions, lectures, etc.. (I avoid eating with others now) why cant people mind thier own business and let us vegetarians/vegan consume what we want? I have only just become vegan in the past 2 months after 25 years of eating meat and junk.. and I already sick of the negative thoughts by most people... sorry for the rant but I had to vent it somewhere!

Unfortunately, I don't think there is a "right" answer for your question. Personally, I am not a vegetarian but I have a friend who after years of eating meat, decided to become one. I can't honestly tell you why I was so put off by it at first. It really bothered me and there was absolutely no reason why it should have. I got over it and now I look back and wonder what got into me. I was never mean or accusing or rude, but I was not really accepting at first.
Looking back on it, I really was impressed by the way she handled her decision. She had made the decision and stuck to it regardless of what anybody said. I'm sure she got a lot of the same looks and quiet stares that you get.
Just hang in there and stick to your decision. It really doesn't matter what other people think anyway.
