It’s a fact that actions do speak. The way somebody reacts to something you share reflects how they feel about it. There could be times when they’re intimidated by what you’re pursuing.

Such insecurities are more about them than you. It’s the issues that they hold with themselves, possibly because they’re stuck with something they don’t have their hearts in.
