This is why I almost never eat out with my co-workers,
although I work with very professional people who
wouldn't be so rude. But still I cook all my own
meals and eat them in the privacy of my own cube. If
I didn't have privacy I'd probably go eat outside far
away from work or in my car away from people who would
make such comments.
OK, you young'un's, LOL, listen up. :) As I said in my previous post, some of this comes with age, but believe me when I tell you that if you stick to your guns and go about living your life as you believe you should, people will eventually come to respect you for that. For some people it may take years, yes, but I've had people begrudgingly compliment me for doing what I believe in. Go and eat out with these people, talk about your "weird" beliefs (but also know when enough is enough and when to shut up:). Be proud of what you know and are. The reason these people make fun of us is because they are insecure about THEIR beliefs, and because we aren't, it threatens them in some subtle way. This is not a cliche, it's the truth. If they knew exactly what they believed for themselves, they would feel no need to pick on someone else. Again, be proud that you guys know more at your age than most people do at twice MY age, lol.
Rootin' for ya,
Bren
