I keep getting torn down when I do that. maliciously. merciless. I feel like I bring on abuse to myself by telling others what I want in life. They also see this by the way I "Act" but really I just Love life. Am I too conceited, arrogant? How do I become a better friend without killing my ambition.

Share them with people who are likely to accept them.
Don't share them indiscriminately, or with people who love to tear you down.
I have no idea what the rest of what you wrote is about -- it doesn't have anything to do with the first two sentences.

You will find that MOST people will have their own comments about what you want to do. Some are jealous, some just don't understand, some would never want what you are going for. Only hang around people who are supportive. Stay WAY away from the others as much as possible. If they are your friend, it seems that they could never get really close to you if you are unable to share your goals and dreams with them.

Only share your goals with those who you know will love and respect you no matter what, people who will help you to achieve them.
What you don't need to do is tell your peer group that you goal is to get into Harvard, and watch them as they poorly mask their doubts. Also, you don't need the whole world knowing when you fail or change your mind.
Sure, tell your friends what you are looking for in life! But if they don't support you, question their friendship. Good friends can offer their advice, but they must also accept you for who you are and what you want to be.

yes, it's good to talk about your ambitions and goals to others as long as you don't sound as if you are boasting. Remember, these are things you have not achieved, hence it's best to be down-to-earth so people will also help you achieve your ambitions.

You should share your goals and ambitions but to people who are tolerant. People are insecure and they `can get jealous easily and want to tear you down. Don't let them.

because they don't have their own goal and ambition in life so they don't want to hear other peoples ideals. a good friend listens to a friends dreams and ambitions in life. it's called sharing oneself to another. your friends i think are too immature to think of what lies ahead and they're just interested in mundane things.

Yes you should. If you feel that they will reject your goals and ambitions then you need to discuss that with them as your inner circle should be supportive and helpful.
