i need vegan friends dude

i really need some vegan friends irl, and also just in general. my friends are great, we do have enough in common but they just. they don’t get it, you know? i’m tired of feeling like a crazy person. so much socializing revolves around food and meals too, and it’s just hard when there’s this huge ethical, moral divide. if i had vegan friends there wouldn’t be any awkwardness at dinner, i could talk freely, i could pick up the check without having to explain why i can’t pay for their meal. i love treating people ! but i can usually only pay for my own because i’m sorry bestie but yours has dairy in it, and then i have to explain why dairy doesn’t line up with my moral beliefs while they stare at me like i’m an idiot. it’d be so much easier with vegan friends. i wouldn’t have to bite my tongue or hold back :/
