sometimes i get really scared of what people think of me... for example, i do eat the odd bit of meat, so i get scared of what vegetarians think of me it only really matters if the people are close to me, i really want to be seen as a "good" person by those who matter to me...i think i am good, but some things niggle away at me, like eating meat, swearing, blasphemy, crying...
Are these people paying your bills? Buying your food? Otherwise contributing to your welfare? If not....what the hell, you don't have to please them...ruby
i know i don't have to, but i want to my mood was swinging alot last night, it's just when im feeling a bit upset some stupid things get to me...but thankyou, both of you kieran xxx
Most vegetarians are comfortable with the fact that most people eat meat, and they don't judge you for it. As for those who do hold it against you, the hell with them, they're not worth your time. Just be yourself and realize you can't please everyone. Avoid those who make you uncomfortable.
Newo is totally right on....You have to be comfortable being who you are, and that comes with age and experience,and some exploring. Don't ever let someone else sway your instincts. Rely on your gut feelings about things, they are there for a reason...and they are never wrong. Peace, Ruby
I know how you mean Kier. *hugs* I feel guilty quite a lot about silly things(like the meat for example...I am veggie most of the time but sometime I get a craving for fish and so I eat it ) I feel guilty about being sad most of the time though. Lots of the people who I'm close to have gone through rough times and/or suffer from depression. When I don't feel good I feel guilty becase I know that I have nothing to feel sad about. I think that I'm being selfish if I'm not happy all the time. I know thats a silly thing to think, but I can't help it.
