At places, dont ask for special treatment, try to find it yourself..dont make it a big deal in anyway. As for the pizza, make it not sound like a big deal..tell them a veggie lovers type pizza with no cheese. No cheese isnt going to be a weird request for pizza places, trust me.
As for the gifts, people not in your paradigm wont see that, so just thank them for the gifts and give them to chocolate loving friends.
Oh, and honestly, from my short perception it sounds like you are sort of forcing your veganism on other people, or making it known that you are different. Like "I AM A VEGAN, DUMBASS!!" kind of mentality.
If not, I apologize. |
Great Advice...many people react negatively to people choosing a healthy lifestyle because it seems to others that this person thinks that he or she is "better"
You may not feel this way but downplaying your requests might do the trick. You decided to be vegan so make sure that you are prepared in every situation.
Good Luck!
