Say your dream out loud to someone who can help. Saying it to people who can’t just collects opinions.

Telling the wrong audience feels like progress without being any. You get reactions, advice and a small hit of having declared something, and none of it moves the thing forward. People who cannot help are not obliged to be useful, so the mismatch is in the choosing rather than in them.

Before you talk about it again, work out what you actually need: an introduction, a skill, a first customer, honest technical feedback. Then find the person who has that. One conversation with someone in a position to act beats a month of announcements.
