I know this is super cliché but you cannot expect other people to understand your dreams and vision. They were given to you, not them. If being turned down, denied or laughed at, effects your energy and attitude towards the things you want, you need to get your head straight.
Don't even begin to feel sorry for yourself or play the victim. If you're legit, You don't need someone to put you on. You will win if you're good enough.
