Yeah the friends and family thing is rough.
My last girlfriend was attending med-school, she is a very driven person and is bound to be a successful doctor one day. Every time I told someone that we'd broken up they would tell me how stupid I was for letting her go because I would have been "set for life" if we stayed together. It drove me insane, do these people think I'm incapable of creating something for myself? Anyway since that time its actually been good, those comments serve as a major motivation for me to work hard in school and achieve well beyond what those people, and even I, thought I could.
