I guess this is an old question, but I hope you’re still trying to be veg, goldilocks. It’s a personal journey, and I think when I finally became vegan I was primed for it in a way… but even though I was completely committed, it was still a difficult transition in some ways. What helped me in the beginning was loading up on the facts—not just statistics, but the overall picture of what happens in the animal industries. Books and films can be a big help in that regard.
Also, it might help to meet some other vegetarians or vegans who can give you moral support and make you feel less like a weirdo. In some towns you might be able to join a meetup or vegetarian society, or you might have good luck finding community online. I’m not the most outgoing person, but being part of a veg community helped me a lot, especially at the beginning.
In case you’re wondering why someone would become vegan instead of just vegetarian… well, for me it was because I found out that the egg and dairy industries are far more cruel than the meat industries. And meat production is a horrifying industry. From there it all snowballed into avoiding all animal products, as much as possible. It’s not hard once you’re doing it, at least in my opinion. I believe it’s the best decision I ever made.
