I would bet a lot of people will echo ths opinion, perhaps because they experienced it themselves.
The main reason most people may not offer support is because you are choosing to be independant of your peer group. They may view it as being abandoned or having "something" chosen OVER them.
It's human nature to form "packs" and seek comfort from conformity. Change, they say, is difficult for many people to deal with. Striking out on your own can cause people to rethink their own choices and resent you on many levels. They may think they will lose your friendship, they may fear you will change your feelings about them.
