Is it easy for you to share with your buddies what dreams your pursuing or long term goals you have? Sometimes you will find in life that your biggest supporters are strangers, simply because there isn’t any pre-conceived notion of you to distract that person from seeing the person before them and the finish line that they want to cross. It’s especially a sensitive matter for those that are artistic, because music, art and things of that sort are subjective and dependent upon individual taste. .. It is still plausible that you’re closest friends may be a harsher critic and objectivity is based on their overall outlook of you. If you find that you’re holding back what your true desires are from people you call your friends than that might be an indication that you’re not as tight as you think you are(or should be) with them.
Now, perhaps your expectations of what a friend is obligated to do is unfair. If someone doesn’t see something fit for you nor don’t they have any particular interest in what you do is that their fault or even something problematic? Maybe they see the friendship as just an opportunity for 2 people to enjoy each other’s personalities and share and explore the things you do have in common. Who says they owe you anything? What perspective is more valid?
