Please know I'm just sharing, not trying to scold. I have used this same user name on many different forums.. from NFL forums, backpacking forums, running forums, etc. I can tell you the following with 100% certainty:Originally Posted by Jakethesnake69
- You shouldn't let those comments get to you. Not worth caring or taking to heart, especially if this is going to be a long-term lifestyle choice. Dumb comments will always be there, so just have thick skin and ignore them.
- If you specifically tell people not to make comments, or let it appear in any way that it would bother you, it will only egg people on to do it more. That I promise. The only reason they do it in the first place is because they think it might might be fun to press your buttons. However, nobody finds it fun to be ignored.
- If someone really tries trolling you hard to the point where you have to address it, just calmly say "sorry to disappoint you, but I don't take the bait on that stuff" then get back to the actual conversation. That person will look dumb (and probably feel dumb).
Of course all of this is only true if you don't come off as preachy or judgey about being vegan.
