You may take a while to accept this answer, but I hope for your own peace that you do consider it. The ability to handle the humiliation you feel depends entirely on how much you give a f*ck about what your family think.

You get to choose that. You wouldn’t be an entrepreneur if you thought like everyone else. Lean into it. Make a joke of it. Do whatever you have to do then get cracking on exciting future plans.

You don’t expect them to prove anything to you do you?

Good luck!
