Well, creative people have a lot of ideas. To no ones surprise, most of them fail. That's pretty normal. The issue is that when we are super excited about every new idea, we become The Boy Who Cried Wolf. We run and tell everyone we know, then it fails and our family and friends are left wondering what the point was. This is hard for them because they, as a collective group, want the best for you and tend to be very pragmatic. They want you succeed, so they will be honest with you. They aren't trying to hurt you, but negative responses from family can be devastating in the early stages.
