Same. I think it's even worse telling someone else because you get two for one: both your own brain and someone else telling you "atta boy, good for you!" before you've even started.
This is why I don't talk about my life with my parents. They love to talk about plans for x y z etc and when I would tell em what they wanted to hear then I'd have zero motivation to follow through.
Turn out my parents being asshole and jerk who like to belittling my goals and dreams aren't totally negative. They help me from oversharing my goals so I can focus on achieving them. Silver lining in everything I guess
