I have a dream to do something. But there are many obstacles, and many people close to me are telling me to give it up. But I want it really bad, and it's also risky for my future. Should I go for it, or let it go and do something more stable?

I do a research for romantic relationships (by myself). I think I've got something big, but no one else thinks so. My conclusions came from my models, and not from books. I have talked to those close to me, and no one believes in it. This is one of the few things I've got going for myself; without this, I am pretty much nothing, and somewhat below ordinary because my grades aren't top notch.

FOLLOW YOUR DREAMS, BEAT ALL THE OBSTACLES. AND DON'T GIVE UP HOPE NO MATTER WHO TELLS YOU. IF YOU DO . HOW ARE YOU SUPPOSE TO KNOW IF YOU COULD DO.IT. EVERYTHING YOU DO IN LIFE IS A RISK AND WE ALL DO IT. AND WHEN WE MAKE MISTAKES WE PICK OUR SELVES UP AND GO. SO DON'T GIVE UP YOUR DREAMS BECAUSE THEY TELL YOU TO. IF YOU DO, ITS BECAUSE YOU WANT TO GIVE IT UP.

I'll join in with the others and say "Go for it"! If you believe in this dream, you might be able to make it work. There are always people who will say not to rock the boat. There are always peopl who feel that if you're already comfortable, you shouldn't take a risk... but only you can really decide if it's worth it. If you think you'll one day look back and say "I wonder how it would have been if..." and wish you had... then you should take the chance now. Just remember to check everything out fully and have something to fall back on until whatever it is falls into place. Good Luck! :)

For the sake of offering a different perspective:
You said those close to you don't believe in your dream the way you do.
You said your dream had to do with a take you have on relationships.
If you're going to put yourself out there as an expert on relationships, it seems it may be worth your while to give proper time and weight to listening to the words of those you're in relationship with right now. Have you considered writing down the things the people who are close to you have said and weighing them for valuable input? Their words (in fact, this whole situation you're in) might add to your relational perspective - I'm assuming for a book?
If the people who really care for you tell you your idea may not be there yet, my guess is their intentions are not to try to discourage you from a dream. If I were you, I'd listen carefully to what they're all trying to say before making a decision that, it sounds like, will present large consequences for you to live with on the other side.

First learn all that you can about what you want to do.
Do you want to go into business? or entertainment?
Get as much education as you can and perhaps the obstacles won't seem so insurmountable. Your dream may become more reachable in time as obstacles and your own desires change.
Are the obstacles related to your age or finances?
Is it worth the risk? Is it life or death risky? Is it financially risky?
Why is it risky? Is the risk only one of failure?
The best question to ask your self is why you want it so badly?
Why this dream? How do you plan to realize your dream?

Go for it, you can always go back and find something stable if things didn't work but you would always know you took that chance and never regret and think to what could have been if you never tried. Life is too short not to try something, obstacles are not obstacles, they are just bumps in the path that you pass over. People close to you only want the best for you, they want you to be stable yes but I would tell them: Don't you want me to be happy and stable in doing something I overcame obstacles to do?

What are you crazy? Go for it!!! Don't let anyone steal your dream. That's the only way they can say that they were right. Anything worth having is going to be difficult to attain. Follow your heart and dream.

At worst... I'd rather know I tried, failed and learned something... than live the rest of my life with regret from doing nothing. Follow your dream.

I would advise to go for it, but be sure you have something as a back up plan. It would be easier to answer if i knew what your dream was.

Don't listen to people who telling to give it up. Listen to your heart. Do you want to achieve your goal or not? I hope you achieve it.
