Why do people stop working towards achieving their dreams?

:friends/family influence

:not enough support

There's a bunch of reasons that i can think of right now.

Do humans know everything they need to know?

Telling others about your dreams. They can then ridiculize you. And you can begin to kind of..back off.

Hope this helps clear it up a bit. Is my personal experience, it doesn't have to be this.

I was born with plenty of..talent. I loved singing, and dreamed about being a singer, but i was told that I wasn't pretty enough, and did i have a voice! I loved drawing but my mom kept on telling me how useless that is and that artists die in hunger. I loved justice, and wanted to become a judge, but my parents kept on telling me that i am not smart enough. So.. I gave up on doing things i loved and dreamed about. Now, I started dreaming again, now, when there is no influence arround me anymore to suppress who i am, but following my dream now comes at a cost; a cost i can not afford. I didn't give up on this one yet but seems financially impossible.

My wife has a bunch of really attractive friends, and she expects me to never say anything to her about how beautiful they are. Does this seem fair? I love my wife, and just commenting shouldn’t hurt anything, right?
