Large social groups were me out too. I prefer no more than ten people. I like small groups as opposed to larger ones. Okay wouldn't say I belong since that doesn't apply here. Several times invited to vegan events at a nearby center. The woman who is the director is friends with me on Facebook. Sometimes we bump into each other. She's friendly but I don't feel like we are offline friends. One of her male friends is a friend of my sister but not to me. I feel really terrible about that. This makes me feel inferior. Okay part of me is thinking feeling that way is irrational. Just telling how I feel. PS I am not implying every vegan person is like this woman who runs these events.
