Why do people stop working towards achieving their dreams?

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.

:not enough support

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.

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