Is it bad to tell your goals and dreams to someone that looks down on you?

Hi, It used to make me excited to tell someone my goals and dreams but since I failed to achieve some of them and see doubts from some peoples eyes I decided to just keep them to myself. And also, the people I tell don't really care and sometimes they're even a hindrance and tells me to do something else and that it's either too late or impossible to reach. Ones a mean person even told me I'm ambitious and looked me down I was hurt and I even doubt my ability to achieve that certain goal that I told her but I made it even if it took me a few years. I don't really know how I made it, I just realize it now. All I know is that I prayed to God to help me and worked hard. God is so good, just pray and trust Him, He can make things happen.

well...I have no idea about wheather you have known the ted speech,and in one of the speech,a man from a famous university(i forgot the name of the university) tells us that donot tell others about your goals or dreams cause that will let you face failure. but its just a opinion of mine,just for your reference. lol

She should be lucky that you have a good character and would respect people who don't deserve to be respected! My father always tells us that when a person looks down on you it's because they are secretly envious of who you are and what you are doing. Perhaps the old woman was just envious of your life and so she wants to discourage you or something. You're not doing anything bad to her so you shouldn't feel bad about it. As for telling the plans to someone who looks down on you, I think that isn't a good idea. Most especially if you know that the person only wants your ruin. It'll make them more envious and they'd be praying for you to fail and they'll be happy each time you fail. So I'd better keep things to myself so that they'll only see my successes and not notice my failures. Sometimes it pays to act as if nothing is wrong. If I were you, I would have said that I am working hard and I already have a lot of money that's why I can afford to leave the rented home. I would say those things even if they weren't true, so that she would feel more envious of me. hehehe.. Good luck! and have a great mylot experience ahead!

Hello timeout, there will always be people who will look down on us eventhough we didn't do anything to them. they are just envious on anything we have. Most of the time, its better not to tell people our plans in life cause they wil just ruin it. the fact that they are envious without us doing anything from them is a sign of negative thinking that we can't achieve something we desire. so, better to keep it to yourself and tell them if it already happened.

Hello I admire you for still giving respect to this woman though she obviously dislikes you. Don't mind her just go on with your goals and dreams. It may not bad to tell her your goals and dreams but she's not worthy of your trust why tell her?

Hi friend, sad to hear about this, some people are in her sort and waiting for the time to let us down, we must be very careful with this kind of people, better to keep distance from them

It can be dangerous to you to tell people your dreams and goals. I would tell those dreams and goals to someone who usually shows you that they believe in you and want to see you in a good light. Many people become jealous of you and just want to bring you down so they look good, and they will say that they are trying to keep you from making a big mistake when in actual practice they just want to keep you down. Disregard those kind of people. If you have a dream, go and get it.

I know a lady that said she wants to become an actress. I said something positive to her about that. The lady that looked down on you felt secretly jealous of you. You can start up your own business. You are polite person that is why you didn't say for her to mind her own business. You speak in a decent way to people and they like that. That lady wouldn't like you to say something negative to her and that is something a polite person like you wouldn't do. Good luck with your plans to begin your own business.

I don't like her. Why are there people you can't be happy for other people decisions or dreams. At least you are not asking anybody for food. Of course, its obvious if you'll have your own business, you'll have to work hard. Well, it's not bad. For me I'll even update her with the status of my life as I work harder and progress in pursuing my dreams. Well have the right to set goals and dreams for the betterment of our lives. Keep up in doing your best to uplift your life. People like her should serve as a push when you feel a little discouarge or hopeless.

Yup! Better to stay away with that person so that your goal and dream in life will not be affected and make your dreams come true

If a person despises you then it is better to keep a safe distance from her. But in this case she may be some motherly concern. Of course, to start up a business needs capital and planning and hard work. She may try to advise you on the risk of operating a business. Try to give her the benefit of doubt. It is good to respect the elders. Best of luck to your new business venture. God bless you.

Hi! Yes I can see how you feel as that kind of attitude would get on anyones nerves. Glad you're getting out of there and I hope it'll work out with your boyfriend! You mentioned you were thinking of starting your own business and as I am working at Small Business Administration, I can tell you that you do have to be ready for what is out there. Look on the site (www.sba.gov) and see if you can get some local assistance by typing in your zip code and go to a SCORE or SBDC office with a business plan. Some banks are willing to work with SBAs small business guarantee, some banks are stricter than others about payments, and they want a real commitment from you. Take a look on the site and make sure you are in a good position to pay back the loan (SBA does not do grants). Good luck! Sarah

Well We can't please everybody, each person has differences and you might just unlucky to meet this kind of people. Anyway good to know that you are not seeing her anymore, better to stay away than to make any trouble in the future if she will keep on her rudeness. That's irritating but you must be nice person that you keep calm and let go of the situation. Have Good days ahead and Ignore these craps of human beings ...

There is a verse in the bible that says "do not cast your pearls before swine" this could mean a lot of things to different people, but one take on it is that you should not share your dreams (pearls) with people that are going to trample on them and tread them into the mud (swine). So in response to the question that you asked in the title of your post, I don't think it is bad to tell people about your dreams that look down on you, but it isn't necessarily wise. Share your dreams with people that are going to encourage you or at least give you wise counsel in love!

That woman sound like a real grim , I dont see how can someone just chose to dislike a person with no good reason . I am happy your moving , you should not have to be around negative people that feel they are above you . Sometimes when I tell people my dream they would say your a barbie that would not fit you , as if I am clueless . I wish you all the best in your business venture because you can do it once you are determine . Some people will always try to keep others down .

Just let it past. Some folks have temper when they reach a certain age. Just ignore whatever she says.

Hello Timeout, "Is it bad to tell your goals and dreams to someone that looks down on you?" Yes! Yes! Yes! You should've never respond back to her about your plan, because you already know she doesn't like you, you should've just told her you wasn't sure yet because it's not any of her business. Hence she"looks down on you" if she looks down on you already of course she'll put you down if you tell her about your dreams/goals. I wouldn't tell any of my enemies my dreams or goals knowing how they are negative with me, it would just put me down. Either way, regardless of what she says only you can determine how your plans will go because you make them not her.
