So there's this kid... and he tries to be a good friend and to help me make good choices but, unfortunately, ruins my hopes and dreams in the process. And that sucks ballsss. But he's the best anyway.
It's really complicated without knowing the whole situation and I can't elaborate because of some of the people who read this, but basically I ask for his opinion on something because he often knows more about the situation than I do, and his opinion is never the reassurance I'm looking for. He tries to be a good friend and steer me in the right direction, but it sucks when he doesn't think I can do something that I really want to.
It depends on whether the "something I really want to" is positive or destructive.
For example: becoming a songwriter, vocalist, and bass guitarist in a fun band that puts out meaningful music is worth wanting. But that sort of thing takes plenty of talent, a lot of hard work, and more than your fair share of luck. A friend who tells you that your education should be a higher priority isn't necessarily doubting your musical talent or ability to work at being a better musician. They are most likely doubting the luck part.
See, I think what I want to do is positive, but he thinks it's destructive and he could, and probably does, have a better idea about the situation than I do. His opinion just brought me back down to reality when I thought I had a brilliant idea.

What, exactly, are your hopes and dreams ... and how could they possibly be ruined by a friend who tries to help you make good choices?
