That’s really not true with veganism. My wife is vegetarian. She also have social anxiety so believe me when I say she never preach anything and she never say she is vegetarian unless asked. Also she is very tolerant : I eat meat and she never ever said anything about it except of course when we deliberately talk about the topic together. She _prepares_ meat for our guests because she is afraid that they’ll complain. And oh my, you just can’t imagine how many times she have to explain to others why she don’t eat meat. The first _years_, it happened every. single. time. Be it with friends, or with family, they always want to know, they always ask the _same_ questions and get the _same_ answers. I know this discussion by heart and we still get it. The « but you can’t have a balanced diet » (which is false and, since she is an adult, is intrusive), « but I couldn’t stop eating meat » (which nobody asked you to), « but why? », the « but plants also suffer ». It’s always the same conversation, the same jokes. Honestly, I’m not vegetarian but I feel a lot of empathy for my wife : she’s just here like everyone to have a nice moment and somehow she’s forced to talk about always the same topic : what she eats. Sometimes this whole thing just makes me want to become vegetarian so that she doesn’t feel alone.
