Why are people being assholes over this?

So, I'll start off by saying I used to work normal service/desk jobs (and hated most of them) until the economy got bad and I couldn't find any work for several months. Out of desperation, I stopped looking for a job and started doing freelance work to survive, everything from writing technical articles to cleaning houses to selling stuff online. Eventually, I found an oppurtunity that turned into a stable source of income and decided to build it up as a small business.
There are a lot of negative things about working from home that I was prepared for, such as having to work extra hard yet still make do with less, or higher chances of getting audited and harassed by the IRS. But the one thing that blindsided me was people's open hostility once they find out what I do.
My type of work is completely legal and not offensive in the least, so I can't make sense of it. And I know I shouldn't care what people think, but it still hurts when they call me lazy and tell me to get a "real" job, or ask when I'm going to start looking for normal work again. Since when does sitting in a fucking office all day and typing up meaningless documents constitute real work anyway? One of the things I like best about what I'm doing is getting paid for doing actual physical work as opposed to the number of hours I'm at a particular place. I also love being able to do part of the work outside and that it feels like I'm doing something meaningful as opposed to just a dead end source of income. Why would anyone look down on someone else for that? Isn't that what everyone wants with their life?
The most I can come up with is that people are just culturally brainwashed to look down on anyone that's different than the statistical norm. And that makes me extremely depressed when I think about my future here.

FUCK THOSE PEOPLE.
You got your own business, you say its legal and nonoffensive, you make your own buck, fuck em.
If you send spam email you should be spit roasted between two dripping aids dicks of course, but if its respectable work you do, fuck them and their envy.
Work at home, no boss, rake in the dough, who wouldnt want that?

this is pretty true, but on the same note the people who do not fill the usual status quo can be quite successful.
but what are you doing at home? i would love to get into a legit work from home deal.

They're just jealous that you're chilling at home in your casual clothes while they have to get up every morning, put on clothes they dislike, commute to work and be told whatever work they do accomplish is good but not as good as it could be.

In order to conceal their own incompetence, fear and herd-mentality, people disregard and make fun of anything that demonstrates that they are cowards as well as anything that proves them wrong.
But what are you doing? That is the part you are not telling us, maybe for a reason.

I work from home OP. Make over 3k a month on average. I really only put in 2 full days of work divided over 7.
Fuck people calling you lazy. That's when you laugh in their face and ask how much fun they have flipping burgers for a living.
Retire at 35 and have teh LULZ at poor people.
edit:
I won't be retiring at 35, but I will still have teh LULZ at poor people.
Not that im knocking poor people. I was poor too. But again, fuck the people that look down on your profession.

A bunch of different things. But my primary income is a professional Voice Over artist.
I've posted in a few of these job type threads.
Its real difficult to get into, and you've gotta be super fucking good, on the ball, and deal with stupid fucking clients. but there's potential for crazy money. Depending on how good you are.
I just did a job for 20th Century Fox this morning. I've also done stuff for Disney, Oakley, Citrix, Bell South, Target... and on and on.
I started a few years ago really low on the ladder. Doing 20 minute VO's for $50 and shit.
Now 20 minutes of my time goes for about $800. But that's finished VO. You gotta read, re-read, edit, mix, comp. Everything. 20 minutes turns into 2 hours or more really quick.

#12 that sounds awesome man, congratulations for doing something like that with yourself.
I have no illusions that I'd qualify for voice overs though.. I have a really eccentric voice.
I do need to find my niche though, I'm sick of working bullshit jobs.

I sat next to a guy on a plane once who did this. What if it was you? Did you happen to go on tour with a band for a couple years after college, to your parents dismay? I know its super-unlikely, but have to ask.

Number 1, I don't really know why people chastise you for that. I wouldn't expect that. When I tell people I write freelance articles they think it's cool -- but of course I am still "looking" for a job (well, I do need one). Who the hell says anything about that? Relatives? Friends? Strangers? I can't imagine meeting a friend of a friend or someone and them telling me to get a "real" job.

I feel like I could've written the OP myself. I also have a nontraditional business I run from my home. Most people tell me I have it made, but some do give strange looks and ask if I'm looking for a "real" job.
I think many people buy into the mythology that the "college -> work 9-5 for someone else" path is the only way to success. Meeting living counterexamples frustrates them because it forces them to think about what might have been if they were more open-minded.

..... yes. wow. that's really fucking weird. But i don't think I remember of which you're speaking.
I'm from Canada though, can you tell me where you were going on that plane?
I used to be in a pretty big band here and toured around North America for awhile.
If it's not me, that's a pretty fucking accurate/unlikely scenario.

Haha. nope.

What a fucked up circumstance though.
I wonder how many people graduated college, toured in a band for a couple years after that, then became Voice Actors?
It's a weird profession that's for sure. And not one people would generally think to get into.

Haha, I sort of doubted it for some reason. But the guy I met did do stuff for Disney and probably other companies you mentioned. But I don't know if he actually did the voice acting; he may have just been on the technical end of things.

Is op growing medi weed?
Seems like it would be legal and non-offensive, work from home and people would act like you don't have a real job.
Also, I once did some freelance work organizing the audio files and other computer work for a guy who ran a voiceover...I think he did both VO work himself and also set up other VO work for VO actors. I remember he had VO samples for tons of celebrities and their agents contact info. I was in HS at the time and at first I thought I had all the celebrity personal contact info. Good thing I realized quickly that that would be crazy and I didn't try to call any, haha. Interesting business...really surprised me how competitve it was, but then when you think about it, there are a ton of ads with VOs that all need a VO actor.

I respect those that have been able to sustain themselve from being self employed doing freelance crap here and there. I find it weird that people are saying "get a real job"... shit these things can, and do, turn into real businesses further down the track, they take a while but how do you think a lot of ground up business start? Many freelance, or even operate out of home and garage. often its a good way to start if and if you put in the time and dedication you wont have stupid loans and overheads can be heavily reduced. But i think its fully respectable regardless of whether he wants to grow or just sustain.

Thinking critically and forming new perspectives is ok, as long as you don't share them with your boss (and even colleagues) who will hold it against you, thought can become dangerous. When in rome...

Okay, since your like the 20th person to throw up their arms and pee their pants about that; let me make a logical inference: because he started doing freelance technical writing, yard work, and e-commerce, maybe whatever led into a more stable income involves one of those thing. Just a wild, wild guess.

It matters because we can't tell him why people are being assholes over it without knowing what it is.

Sorry, guys. I've been really busy and didn't think this thread would get so many responses. For all the people that wanted to know, most of what I do is selling plants and cuttings. None of them are illegal and only a few are even psychoactive at all. It was just a hobby that I never thought would turn into anything until I started to get more and more sales. Probably a big part is living in a good climate where gardening is popular and almost anything grows. It doesn't make a ton of money but it's enough to pay the bills right now.
It really helped to read all of the supportive responses, especially right now. People can be so cruel towards anyone that doesn't fit into the neat and tidy mold that most of society lives in. I just got into an argument with a family member that doesn't support what I do. He kept insisting that while working from home is great, it would have been "good for me" if I had been forced to integrate into society with a normal job and learned to live like everyone else. One of my friends told me I need to learn how to blow off comments like that, but it's really hard when they come from people I'm close to.

That sounds pretty cool. I looked into that once -- to see if I could make a living selling san pedro -- and I concluded that I would need a lot of land and a hell of lot of cuttings to get started. You must sell some expensive, exotic stuff.

Not really, I just offer as many different varieties as possible. Cactus cuttings are really popular.

Sounds pretty cool to me, but I'm not sure I'd be comfortable with that for the long term without knowing more about the income level and growth prospects. Some people are cut out for entrepreneurship and others are not.

OP I can relate, I go to college to pretty much become a gym teacher, whether it be high school or college, I'll take whatever. I had some 50 year old man who works at a deli ask me "That's really what you want to do? what about the future?"
What the fuck about my future? you work at a fucking deli I'll run around playing basketball with teenagers my whole life and get payed as a teacher to play sports

i skimmed it.
stuff about NWO, bloodlines of the elite, assasinations, 2012, gold, oil, global warming....
...a lot of hot-phrase and hot-word dropping to poke sticks at. Can't be bothered dissecting the wall of text to find substance.
