I was going to ask the same.
Those goals are not even that “out there”, but to play the devil’s advocate here for a moment.
Is it because your family know you, and you tend to flit from one “big idea” to the next, and they are worried about you putting in a lot of time and effort, to then get bored and move on to the next one. Or perhaps you have always been an outdoors kinda person, the idea of you sitting in front of a computer for hours on end, just is way out of your “normal”.
I’m not saying they are correct, but if they genuinely care about you, maybe ask why they think it is a bad idea.
In saying that, maybe they are just cunts.
There are so many variables, like an you just out of school or university, are you mid career on your 40’s and looking for a change, are you recently retired and have always held an interest…
