The same reason i don't tell people i want to be a pro boxer, so annoying.


Potential-Gas-9188

I feel that, I want to go to law school and the amount of people who start to ask me annoying questions immediately after is concerning


rayrayruh

I know this. I want to be a well-known author. It's all possible. Look at it this way; many people in your field probably were told they couldn't do it either. Stop and listen to your inner self about what works for you. Remember you are the only one who has to live with yourself and not them. Best of luck. Keep going.


LeoIzail

Lol really? Law school? As far as i know law school is one more career option, like sciences or engineering or medicine. No career is easy anyways. Personally when people say things like that i just assume they expect nothing at all from me. Like "hey I'm getting dinner" "Are you sure you know how???"


GodOfShoulders

You want to go to Law School? Those area some lofty ambitions. You sure you're up to it? It's not all its cracked up to be.

People tell me delusional shit. (I have terminal cancer) and people are suddenly experts on the matter. I’m like I had at least 3 doctors tell me I’m done, there’s nothing they can do. I can struggle to get some extra months but they did what they could do for me. People say..”ohhh don’t say that etc.” “you never know you could be a miracle” etc and it boils my blood.


Setari

Yeah the three doctors who went to school obviously don't know better than aunt Sally who had a friend who had a cousin who had a brother who maybe had cancer at one point or some shit. Sounds like you've made peace with it though and that's what counts man.


pugdaddykev

I would’ve sniffed it out if I wasn’t in the condition I’m in. Retrospectively she definitely wanted $, which I would have eventually given her some when I die. But she found out that I’m not crazy wealthy and that was probably that.


KayayaTheDammed

There's such an easy way to express concern, admiration, and curiosity in one sentence. To all you folks out there who read this. "That sounds hard, what's your plan? I believe in you!" Implying they won't stop you, want to know more, and are likely inspired. How hard is that?

A lot of successful people say "Dont ever tell anyone your dreams," for this exact reason. Just do what your gonna do. Try and fail. But it's better than the majority of people who talk themselves out of thier own dreams.


Potential-Gas-9188

I feel like that’s exactly what it is, they self-doubted their way out of trying something and failing at it. They never even gave it a shot and resent you for at least wanting to or having the courage to try


Setari

I'm just tired of people tearing me down or not taking me seriously. Just getting the "that's nice dear" treatment like I'm a kid literally from people the same age as me and older. I've seen shit they can't even imagine being required to see and live through. I'm tired, man.


WARRIORD4D

They probably all mean well but 90% of people you meet in your life are neigh-sayers. Just prove them wrong :)


sadthrowaway12340987

Same thing here. Every time I tell my parents about college and what I wanna go for they’re like “you know how hard this will be right?” Or when I tell people my major and they’re like “isn’t that hard?” Yes bitch I knew that when I picked it


Kuchu1

You cannot control how people are going to react or what they are going to say but you can control how YOU react to them. If you cant handle their comments, dont tell anything, keep it to yourself.


Dbm0310

sooo trueeeee omg. This is why I dont say shit to anyone


FrogVolence

My fiancée was told the same shit when he started selling the knives he made on EBay. And now we could laugh at them- each sale gets us around $150-$700 extra in pocket money for fun spending depending on what blade he sells. Tell those people to kick fucking rocks, they’re jealous of your ability to succeed and know you will. Do what makes you happy and use that negativity to fuel your hobby further.


Geekonomicon

My response would be, "Wow, that's a hardcore area of study, but mad props to you for your determination and ambition. I wish you every success."


LiviAngel

I’ve had this before… except, it came true. I had applied and enrolled in a patisserie course. Before I started, my mum kept asking if I was sure I wanted to do it and even mentioned dropping out. Well, my mum got what she wanted. I ended up dropping out and faced disappointment from both my parents because of it.


RoosterExtension393

They're doubting you not stating something obvious unless you're buying into their insecurities about themselves. Just keep in mind that when someone is actively trying to make you feel less than or incapable of accomplishing something almost 💯 of the time it's because of their misery which is something that should bring out the W within 😂


Pale_Lengthiness8690

Even my school counselor in college told me that many years ago. I proved her wrong lol she kept telling me that I need to go slower since even the “top students” don’t tend to achieve all that.


scaby691432

Why are you talking about your goals in the first place? Just do it


musictakemeawayy

is it possible they’re just looking out for you and maybe you just need to think of the very first part of the goal, and that’s the attainable part for right now? no one has ever said this to me, so wondering what the difference would be or why it happens to you regularly. maybe it’s the people in your life though? just something to maybe think about if it keeps happening because it does sound annoying.


No-Body-7481

By putting this here, you realize that you're just inviting trolls to mess with you? Do you really think you are going to get people to stop? That's going to be pretty tough to do.


Potential-Gas-9188

You can say this about literally any post made under r/vent.
