Is it normal that most of my friends and close family are so against veganism?

I would guess that you are shoving more down people's throats than you're letting on. You even wrote the question from a soapbox.
But... if not, then...
-Maybe deep down, even they think they're wrong, but aren't going to change anyway and don't want to hear disgusting things about the food they're about to eat.
-Maybe they're just busting your chops, and don't like it that some innocent ribbing turns into you lecturing them or looking down on them.
-Maybe they just hate vegans for their own reasons.

But it definitely sounds like you're a self-righteous vegan, and nobody likes that. It's not going to help your cause, so just let them enjoy their food, you enjoy yours and talk about something else. It can't be that hard.

"Freelee"? Maybe people aren't interested in being lectured about their food while they eat? If you start talking about veganism and people become defensive or act disinterested take the hint otherwise they may choose not to eat with you anymore.

Your not eating meat isn't going to save one single animal. If you aren't eating properly, it will cost you dearly in the later years of your life.
I find the biggest problem with spending time with vegetarians is when it comes to meals, either there must be two different meals cooked or someone has to compromise when eating out. Both take some of the pleasure from the meal.

In don't believe for one second that you havent preached at them at some point. You preached at us in this post...
Look there's nothing wring with being vegan so just eat what you want. There's a lot of hate because most people think vegans are kooky, or act like religious zealots. And some are. This is why most vegans only date other vegans. Tell his family to stop busting on you and in return, you won't talk about chicks going in grinders. Live and let live.

Good on you for acting on your principles. If you're not hassling them about their choices all that's happening is that seeing you not eating animals is making them feel guilty and that's their problem to deal with.

I'm not vegan or even 100% vegetarian but if I acted on my principles I wouldn't eat animals or their products either

Production of vegetarian food (e.g. beans, wheat legumes) impacts thousands of rodents, small animals and insects. I'm not sure why those animals and insects are any less important than big animals like cows and pigs.

It's probably less total impact than meat production but that doesn't give a vegan the right to always claim the moral high ground. I've met too many of them who want to shove their stupid Foodnazi views down my throat.

As for me, I'm a vegetarian who eats meat.

lion: painfully tears chunks off animal and suffocates them leading to a slow and agonizing death, sometimes still alive when being eaten
vegans: okay
me: eats a part of a cow that was put to death in a quick and painless way
vegans: how DARE you, sick disgusting murderer this is cruelty!!!1!!

i also don't understand why some vegans call people who eat meat murderers, i mean unless they went to the mall and slaughtered the animal they want to eat themselves, their just buying already dead animals

also that part about chicks in the grinder/animal cruelty is basically bullshit and only happens in mainstream factories, local slaughterhouses kill their livestock as painlessly and quick as possible and animals are treated in much better condition

I highly support your decision, your family and friends are just a bunch of scum. Ignore them.

I didn't vote, because normal's a funny term in this context.
Usual within society? Yes
Completely fucked? Also Yes.

I think it's important to present your views as the logical reasons behind your decision, rather than using emotive language like murder, torture, rape etc. Emotional arguments provoke an emotional response, and people are creatures of habit. If you get told that something you've been doing is morally questionable, most people would respond by defending their view rather than taking the facts in.

If it comes up again, (And by the way, I'm not saying you don't but if you don't) , present the facts and only the facts.
Carnism is the belief that it's ok for one animal to be slaughtered in this way for meat, but abhorrent for other animals (the classic example is pigs vs dogs). Most people understand on some level that cruelty to animals is wrong, and if you can get across the dichotomy to them, they might understand you a little better.
