We all tend to value the opinions of the people we spend the most time with. If they don't support your passion, then you have to step back and realize a few things.

  1. They aren't you and have no idea what you want and are capable of
  2. They likely aren't authorities on what you're asking them about and you shouldn't place their opinion on a pedestal.
  3. You can cut them off if it is seriously affecting how you feel
  4. They could just be envious of your audacity to do what you want and regret they didn't.
  5. They may need validation that what they are doing wasn't the wrong choice.
  6. You control who you spend time with and whose opinions you value. Don't value someone who doesn't value you!

Real talk for a moment. This is something I seriously have a hard time with. I take too much of the negative things said about me to heart. It's a bad habit, made worse by the crippling self doubt I've had for decades. It's easier said than done, but it's an important lesson to try and remember every now and again.

I feel you my friend. It's that much harder when people around you aren't supportive, but you must realize everything I noted. Also I believe in your ability to pursue your ambitions :)
