Thanks a lot for your comment. I must apologise as I selfishly never shared mine first. I find group dinner outings awkward too, particularly when the topic of food comes up and people start to question about being vegan and dispute it.. I don't mind that as part of the baggage but not when I'm eating. I hate it too around the dinner table when people talk about eating animals, I just don't want to hear it.
I have to say my most sifficult thing and I'm quoting a blog almost here is just being in a world which is so non vegan. I guess linking with your likely annoyances at dinner parties etc. I found it strange to feel so good about something but at the same time feeling like I am in a minority and wanting other people to get it and to understand. It's great to wake up but the good compassion felt does hurt when amongst so many others who just don't get it.
Travelling or being away from home or group dinner outtings to horrid places....oh and being on long flights!
