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.

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

:not enough support

What can be done to combat group stalking and harassment by an organized gang or society, particularly when they use universal sound weapons?

:friends/family influence

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

Why doesn't speeding significantly decrease one’s commute time? I've done a lot of road trips and driving and have experimented by increasing speed by 10–20%, but somehow this never equates to arriving 20% sooner, even on clear roads.

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