everyone always says "they will laugh at you before they congratulate you"
but that's never been my experience
every one of my friends "supported" me
but for many of them, it always felt very superficial
like a hedge to their bet, so that if i did somehow make it, they could say they supported me from the start
in my experience everyone will "support" you
but you have to use your intuition to know who's support is genuine, and who is waiting to see if the stock they invested in is going to show returns to them
