Im sure this sounds crazy to many but i really have just cut away most of my life and have been working on becoming successful. I remember mj saying he left his current place to get away from all the pressure and people judging him.
I feel the same way,everyone getting their new cars, spending their small paychecks to look like big shots. You run into someone in the mall and they ask what your doing blah blah blah, i hate it so i just avoid it entirely. I honestly think of removing myself from my current place because i do not want to risk my future by just giving up due to social pressures.
I think to myself how much longer can i really go before i have to give up and jump into the "work" world. I am thinking if it gets to this point i will move because otherwise i will have people saying well you tried your thing, failed, and now have a shit job. I have no problem starting from 0, i can make it from nothing but when done in front of friends and family its too embarrassing and i feel i will eventually give in, lease that car etc and just go no where in life. So many people fail that its understandable that people say just stop and be like everyone else but i KNOW that i am going to make it i KNOW, it is just surroundings make it so difficult. It does not matter to me that i would drive a piece of junk and live in a crappy apartment to peruse my fastlane but its very difficult to take judgment when your doing it down the street from your hometown.
Does anyone else have this feeling?
