Pretty much self explanatory. How do you do it?
I listen to their reasons and I decide to whether ignore them or not, some people do have valid concerns and understand why they say what they say but some are just blatant haters and they even say their opinions very condescendingly. I'm a petty person and like keeping blatant haters around, it gives me joy to see their reaction when I ignore what they have to say about my decisions to where I invest my money.
Then we are alike, I always like staying when others choose to run away from those who are hating on them, they don't believe in us it's fine, stay around and let them feel the wrath of their own hate when you are shining, it's indeed a big pleasure watching them get suffocated while things keep getting better for you.
Some do this because they feel concerned and they don't want you to fail, but some will take it too far which will reveal that what they actually want for you is different, before I became what I am today, many people who are suppose to be encouraging me, even the so called blood ones are all criticizing, I eventually find out that it's not about concern of wasting my time, sometimes I even feel like they are witches and wizard, maybe they already have the answer of what will happen in the future and they are trying to make me stop.
The only person that supported me was my father, like if he is still alive today I will spend more money and my sweat on him, unfortunately he passed too soon, he is a special man, I am proud and confidence to say that if I have the opportunity to come back to this world again I will choose him as a father again.
