On Friday night I went to one of my friend's birthday parties, and a guy from school who I don't really know/talk to was there, but he knew that I was Vegan.
As the night progressed, my friend ordered pizza and while I was talking to another girl, this guy comes up behind me with a slice of cheese pizza and tries to put it in my mouth while yelling "CHEEEESE!"
Thankfully I didn't ingest any but my mouth was open at the time because I was talking so it did touch my lips and one of my teeth.
I really just felt like crying and going home, honestly. I don't understand how someone could be so blatantly disrespectful and rude about someone's personal beliefs/lifestyles. It's not as if I go around shoving broccoli in people's mouths - why is it seen as acceptable, even funny, for them to do it to me?
I just feel awful about the whole thing. I've been Vegan sine I was 13 and it is a really important part of my life...I know it's probably stupid but I just feel awful that I had cheese pizza touch my lips...and angry that someone I don't even know was so rude like that.
How do you deal with people like that? How do you feel better about things that have happened/interactions with people who are insensitive and disrespectful towards your beliefs?
He is looking for a reaction.
I'm not sure how is the best way to react to it being a girl it's different to how I react.
I normally ignore them, turn to the person I'm next to and say something like, I love the maturity & intelligence of some people at this party. Normally derails them.
Most times I will just say cool bro if they tease me and ignore them completely.
Thats how I would play it, but your predicament was a downright disgusting.
I wouldn't suggest it, but I presume his a teenager, he most likely doesn't have the most self confidence, scream at him or something about thats why you will never have a boyfriend. It will humilate him completely and derail him but it could make you look a bit hysterical.
Up to you how you play it.
*EDIT* No one want's to be known as someone who picks on "disability ppl " so I normally sell I don't eat meat for health reasons when I'm with a rougher crowd.
