People Won’t Root for You

How To Take Action
I would suggest carefully evaluating the people in your life, especially if you sense they might not support your dreams. Trust that gut feeling when something feels off. If you notice small comments that make you uncomfortable, that's a clue. Relationships should feel good, so when they don't, it's probably time to reassess them.
Good way of doing this is by looking at the patterns in your interactions. If you always feel drained or negative after speaking with someone, that's important to notice. Your energy matters, and you want to protect it by choosing who you spend time with wisely.
When doubtful of someone's intentions, think about stepping back from that relationship. You don't have to make a big scene or confront them. Sometimes, it's just a matter of spending less time with them or sharing less about your goals.
Focus on building a small circle of trustworthy people. Look for those who genuinely celebrate your wins and are there for you during tough times. It's better to have a few real supporters than a crowd of pretenders.
Lastly, remember it's totally okay if not everyone is your cheerleader. You don't need approval from everyone. You just need a handful of good people who have your back, and you'll be stronger for it.
