I have had enough breakfast of such people in my life!! Constantly attacking on my character or may be its every next person they meet. These people with so call "common sense".. and are proud of it and always making others feel small in front of them. Every time correcting me, correcting my clothes,my hair, my words oh C'mon give me break!! By the way who asked your opinion in first place!! Everyone is intelligent in their own way!! I dropped out of my college because I don't want to continue in that course because it doesn't interests me at all and I can see that in my grades.. People knowing this every time asking me about my goal in life and they start judging me and then telling me pros of that!! Oh.. who asked you that?? Telling me that I should go for engineering!! Hey according to you all should be engineers in this world!! I don't want any one to judge me.. I have made it a practice now, every time when some not so close to me asks me about my goal in life I would say I don't want to talk about it.. simple. Now think whatever you want to think!! huh! What do you have to say about it? Ever felt like every one in this world is judging you?

Oh yes I have experienced this before. It's called Character Assasination!!! I used to feel horrible but now as the years go by and I have grown and also married now ...LOL!!! I couldn't care less what people say. If the comment is worth listening and to take into consideration I will think about it. if it's a time wasting thing I will just turn a deaf ear and pretend I didn't hear it. I think this is what I call put on a thick skin!!!!...hey Stella.....you don't have to take up engineering if you don't want to. Take up what is suitable for you and you like it. But its no harm listening to advise given for our careers but at the end of the day its your choice.

Yes I am going with my choice only.. The only thing whenever I tell them about my choice they just jump up and say it doesn't have that much scope, you won't be able to get in to the best institute.. And etc etc.. Earlier I used to get affected so much by these kind of people!! I've learned on thing in life -"Hear all of them, but do what your own heart says".. Thanks for your response eagle.

I try not to let people like that get to me. If I did I may lose sight of my goals. And that isn't worth it. Your goals in life may be different than what others see for you. That doesn't make your goal wrong. Turn a deaf ear, and continue.

why you are wasting time in thinking of others. just ignore them and stop thinking negatively. Be happy and enjoy your life.
