Why do people stop working towards achieving their dreams?

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.

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

Why did my bipolar girlfriend split up with me?

:not enough support

:financial struggles

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

Why are liberals so bad at grasping alternative facts? For example, if something doesn’t happen the exact same way Trump described it, liberals dismiss it as false; while conservatives are able to fully understand the underlying principle.
