I messed up ordering pizza.

This is my issue with this group. "If you're not vegan enough, you're not even trying". I came to this subreddit because I needed support. Cause I don't have vegan friends and every now and then I need to feel like people aren't against my choices. I can understand that most of you guys would have made a different choice, but understand that my partner and I have beliefs and values that are similar but not the same.

When people mess up and get shamed for it, it just makes them feel more like they don't belong. I not going to stray from being vegan because it's important to me, and I wanted to be honest about the mistake I have made. I know there are lots of people who screwed up but don't say anything, I wanted to show that we do screw up, and that's okay. Do better next time. You shouldn't just shrug it off, do feel bad, and you'll do better. But it seems like many people don't feel that way. I apologize for not being perfect, but if the community wants to tell me that I didn't feel awful, and that I don't care enough, know that I fucked up once in over 5 months, and many of us have, and it is not okay to tell someone they're not good enough cause they weren't perfect.
