I just don't care to put substances in my body that are effectively toxic. If you think, being high at all times is the best way to live life, then more power to you.
Really, it's annoying that people think we're judgemental. I'm guessing, lots of folks judge themselves for it, but as long as everyone else does the drugs, they aren't confronted with that.
As soon as I dare to exist, not putting toxic substances into my body, they'll feel judged, because I'm adhering to their moral standard of not doing drugs, effectively reminding them that it would be doable.
If I come up with some bullshit reasoning, like I'm the designated driver, rather than the truth that I just don't want it, they'll feel more at ease. Although, I guess, that would also be the case, if they truly thought I was actively judging them.
I have friends that don't drink and don't do drugs. Neither of my adult children do (18 and 20). I think it's great. I don't fathom why question was down voted. I think it's awesome that you you don't succumb to the pressures of society an live your life in a way that makes you happy. Keep kicking ass ❤️
Your question might have been downvoted, because people (including me) read it the wrong way.
I thought, you were saying people shouldn't be proud of being straight edge.
And your reasoning:
..., I thought, was supposed to say that you think people, who are straight edge, are themselves very intolerant and judgemental.
Words can just be ambiguous, I guess.
Thank you for pointing that out. I appreciate the additional point of view
