Why do people stop working towards achieving their dreams?

:friends/family influence

:not enough support

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

Family scapegoats with years of healing: what events or thoughts precipitated your full acceptance of your family's narcissistic dynamic? Can you share your inner thoughts as you reached it? How do we know when we have reached full acceptance?

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

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

:financial struggles

What if you were the only and last person left on Earth. How will you survive and what would you do with your life?

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.
