So my parents and younger sister are all super career driven, motivated types. My dad runs a software company, my mom is a corporate executive, my sister already has high profile internships. My husband (married 1 year) is a tech genius who got his dream job at 22. And then there's me.
I had hoped to be a doctor, but although I was smart through school, my grades weren't great in college and I found another health related career. It's a good field but not my passion or anything. I mainly chose it because I wanted a strict 9 to 5 where I didn't have to think about work while at home. I'm very much type B and prefer lazing around and doing nothing rather than constantly striving for self improvement.
Everyone expects better of me. To this day my dad talks about what a good doctor I'd be. My mom always asks about my creative goals (I have a struggling hobby). I have a project (let's call it a Youtube channel) that gets basically no views. I struggle to stay motivated because I'm not really achieving. I constantly feel like I need to prove myself.
Is there a way I can stay close to my family and also have them understand my type B low motivation nature?
tl;dr: Type B surrounded by type A's. I feel misunderstood
