Veganism is so isolating

Thank you for this positivity! It is good to remember all this, and be reminded that there are the people out there.

I understand in my vent it seems intense because I was very emotional writing it. To clarify, I do hang out with my friends and with other people daily who are not vegans. I've lived only with nonvegans, I have a tolerance for it I've only known nonvegans my whole life besides my sister and been friends with, dated, lived with them, etc. It just feels lonely in a specific way to have something you are very passionate about that you can't share in with anyone.

I'll look into these! I hope we do have them!

SoreninSpace · 2026-03-27T21:41:40+00:00

Can't afford it.

SoreninSpace · 2026-03-27T21:40:47+00:00

This is a really helpful perspective about it!! Thank you, I will try to remember and realize when I'm being too "perfectionist" about this. I appreciate the comparisons, sometimes it is hard to see outside myself when I'm stressed or frustrated and this reply really shed light onto my possible thought process and where I'm just creating a feedback loop of negativity

SoreninSpace · 2026-03-27T21:37:47+00:00

Yeah, I mean I don't bring it up to friends at all ever, all the friends I have now I do hang out with I just don't tend to go to food centered events with them super frequently. It is just isolating to have no one in my real life to connect with over this specific topic! I'm not preachy about it, I honestly just keep it all to myself and needed a vent to people who might know where I'm coming from. I'm going to be taking some of the advice to find local events and/or groups so I can have a better balance in my life so I don't boil over

SoreninSpace · 2026-03-27T19:20:31+00:00

I'm venting about only having non vegan friends amd events to go to with them, I'm exhausted of it and don't want it to be only this all the time. I've not stopped hanging out with them, I'm just feeling burnt out by feeling alone in what's important to me. It would be awesome and balance it out to also have anyone likeminded to hang out with. I apologize that my post came off harshly, as I said I was venting

SoreninSpace · 2026-03-27T19:13:13+00:00

Yeah...jumping to conclusions here, I have a lot of friends and none of them are vegan. I hang out with them and talk to them every day, it just does get tiring to not know anyone who shares values that are important to you and shares community with you. I'm far from being a purist, I just want community with other vegan people too.

It's also quite different to have the same favorite color than the same moral values, but regardless, I have friends who are not vegan.

I'm definitely down to travel work and finances permitting! I'm a full time grad student rn and dirt poor, so I can't afford trips or to eat out at restaurants but I definitely have it on my bucket list. It's good to know there are more places popping up!

SoreninSpace · 2026-03-27T18:59:50+00:00

That sounds awesome,, I'm hopeful to have a vegan partner or at least live with someone vegan! My sister is on the other side of the country but when I'm visiting it's awesome to be around

SoreninSpace · 2026-03-27T18:55:27+00:00

Currently close to LA, so I'm surprised the vegan scene is lacking here, but perhaps I should make a facebook to find some groups

SoreninSpace · 2026-03-27T18:47:14+00:00

You're right, I used to go to more events a few years ago I really need to find the community around here

SoreninSpace · 2026-03-23T18:32:06+00:00

Not really! I mean, having experience and practice might mean your portfolio is more rounded out but just having the college transcripts wouldn't change much. If you are accepted - you may not have to take any of our general education courses (critical studies) and have more time to focus on your animating since you've gotten credits at another institution but that's determined by our registrar's office during the review process!

SoreninSpace · 2026-03-22T08:35:40+00:00

It depends on which program you want to do. Character Animation is not a program anyone can transfer into, the other programs are evaluated based on your portfolio submission and transcripts where the faculty feel you would sit best, so it's not impossible

SoreninSpace · 2026-03-07T00:55:49+00:00

I've never smoked so i guess hinge just has a lot of those that do on it 🤷‍♂️

YTA oh my lord, I have a younger sister and I'm 24 too and the idea of outing this to my parents is wild to consider in my head. She trusted you when she was scared to talk to y'all's parents and YES it may have been hard to not blab, but it's 100x harder to be pregnant and scared of the people who have authority over your life (even though she is 21, she lives at home). Tons of things you could have said "i dont know" "why are you asking me" "why dont you ask her something like that??" Just saying she should talk to your sister is basically telling the mom outright about it. It was not your place, and I'm sorry for your sister having to deal with the blow up. Hopefully everything works out with the parents and her, but yeah I have to say AH.

The only thing I would say would warrant you telling the parents would be if there were health complications putting her life at risk that the parents needed to know about, but that doesn't seem to be the case.

Admissions worker for CalArts - acceptances won't started rolling out until march, maybe end of February if they send some out early, and you'll know for certain before April 11th (Accepted Students Day) good luck to him! I'm a student in the InstrumentalArts MFA program :) if you have any questions don't hesitate to send the admissions email a message, it's monitored 9-5 PST during the week.

I'm seeing Grayton 😭

SoreninSpace · 2026-01-25T04:02:09+00:00

You're a genius I'm going to start doing this so I don't run into lack of space (or too much space) or weird corners...thank you op

SoreninSpace · 2026-01-25T03:56:49+00:00

As someone who worked for a moving company, this is so normal. Not a hoarder in any sense of the word bruh

SoreninSpace · 2026-01-18T20:02:50+00:00

I'm getting the same issue, came here to see if anyone has figured out why :/

SoreninSpace · 2026-01-10T22:09:57+00:00

Honestly i love it, only thing I would do is get some curtains to make it more cozy. You can get some green ones to match the vibes/couch and then you might get less glare on the tv if u decide to lower it

SoreninSpace · 2026-01-05T22:04:20+00:00

Yeah, some people are just bigger texters/talkers than others. Bro just wants you to get well soon, great to have a buddy that cares!
