I've never eaten meat and never worn shoes in my life. Am I the only one to have this lifestyle?

I grew up with my mother only in the countryside.

I was home schooled and I've never really left my native region.

I have always had a particular lifestyle because I've never eaten meat and never worn shoes (or a only very few time)

Do you think I am the only one to have this lifestyle in the western countries?

yo, that sounds like a pretty unique lifestyle. Not eating meat or wearing shoes regularly is definitely not super common where I'm from. But I wouldn't say you're the ONLY one for sure.

There are definitely some vegan/plant-based folks and nature/earth loving communities that may embrace certain aspects of what you describe. Like maybe some hippie communes or organic farmers n stuff. They're out there even if not too many.

Or some reliigous groups take simplicity way seriously too. Amishtradites maybe? Or certain Buddhist temples n that. So you'd prob find some parallels there.

Plus these days homesteading and off-grid living is getting more popular with people into self reliance. Bet you'd meet folks tryna get in touch with the land like you did.

Overall I wouldn't say its typical western lifestyle really. But there are people and places tryna live deliberately outside mainstream too you know? May just be more isolated where you are. Don't feel alone bro - you do you and your thing! Maybe explore meetin others tryna vibe the same vibe too. Could be cool to connect if you want. But you ain't the ONE and ONLY for sure for real. Keep doin you!

Somewhat unusual in this day and age... However it's entirely your prerogative how you choose to live your life.

Thank you for the MHO.
