Hosting a party and now I feel bad
I feel like absolute trash.
I'm hosting a party at the lake. I was asking guests what food they would eat and if they had any restrictions. One of them is vegan. I mentioned that the salad would be vegan friendly along with a few other items.
A different guests I asked, I had mentioned that if they also happened to be vegan there would be food options for them. They went on a long rant telling me how I need to stop "othering." vegans.
For one I was going to bring the salad either way and two I'm literally the party host It's my job to accommodate my guests!
What really angers me is that I told both of these people not to bring anything and they kept insisting that they wanted to, so I gave in on letting them bring whatever they wanted.
I have deadly food allergies so I thought if I make the food for my own party that would be best. I did tell them about my food allergies but I don't trust other people to actually be careful about those things.
I get it the party is at the lake and it's sort of like a picnic but I'm just genuinely annoyed by this person now. I was just trying to be nice and mention the foods that would be safe for everyone.
I'm not close friends with either person they are just mutuals online who i invited.
I genuinely feel very anxious now and feel like maybe I should just skip the salad entirely even though I said I'd bring it.
I vented about this before but deleted it but I decided to repost it.
