Are you surrounded by supportive people?

I'm not surrounded by supportive people. I only have one support person, but I'm really thankful for her (my wife). After being surrounded by negative people my whole life, that never believed in me, and always tried to talk me out of everything, and tell me that all my ideas were bad, not even giving me a chance. So its so nice to have someone really close to me, that believes in me, and encourages me. I don't need to be surrounded by support, I just need one person.

I think that is probably true. I share things with my daughter, because she will always support me and doesn't judge. But I do not share my goals or plans with my husband because he is one of those negative personalities that always sees the dark side of everything. He always responds with statements like "it aint gonna work" or "you don't want to do that" or "you cain't do that" (he is a hillbilly so that's why the grammar is so bad.) He doesn't mean to be negative, that's just the way he is made. And I can tell you from experience that living with a negative person can be a real downer draining you of all self confidence (my mother was one too) and you tend to doubt your own abilities before even getting started.

I am surrounded by my three sisters, my boyfriend and my parents who are very supportive people, they support me in every way they can and they do not even expect something in return too so this is what I do appreciate, the unconditional love and support toward me.

That is a question we hope usually we never have to question about the people who love us. Personally I have learned to keep my plans and goals to myself, and only share them with people for the sake of sharing, however I have no reservations making it clear, that I am not interested on approval or judgment, that I am only sharing and I don't care for unsolicited advice.

Nope. We are divided in half. My mother and one of my uncles are very supportive, they believe in my dreams, while other members of my family are often discouraging me. My mother side is open-minded while the father side are traditional thinkers and close-minded to new ideas especially in business and in career.

To be honest, I probably dont share enough with people around me, not just being goals, but also things that are happening in my life. I think its good to share things most of the time, and to get things off your head, however it can also really hurt when people arnt there to support you.
