my dad told me "sometimes things dont work out the way we want them to" and it actually prevented me from even attempting to apply to the college i wanted and thats one of my biggest regrets

every positive thing you tell them their immediate response is a counter argument or some sort of critique.

I hate when ppl do that. Its stopped me so often from getting what I needed out of life. I prefer a "Thats a big step, whats gonna be the plan? How can I help?"

the only person telling me to be realistic and making me cry is myself 😭 except for my family who lowkey ignore the life goals i have and assume that im fantasizing and unserious which is probably another form of this and very mean im just now realizing

The amount of times I’ve been told “you’re not special” & “that’s just life” by my parents after I’ve told them I wanna do big things in life is astonishing.

Yasss👏👏👏👏 people get paid to fart in jars… and I have come to the realization that if they can make money doing that then anything is possible.

my sibling was an important factor in me getting into guitar/ music and when I expressed later on that I could see myself pursuing it they told me that if I got a “good” job I could just buy all the expensive guitars I wanted… that was never the point

i would say they’re projecting. they don’t see the goal/dream as possible so they try to put those beliefs on you too. That’s why it’s important to believe in your self and take others advice with a grain of salt.

jae (#1 doyoung fan) :
my dad would do this over things that weren't even huge goals. i'd say i want to get a job at wendys so i can have my own spending money and he'd be like "be realistic". so you have so little faith in me that you think WENDYS is too good for me?????? no contact for 4 years btw
