Oftentimes, when people are overtly negative and unbelieving (is that a word?), it's a projection of their own insecurity and inability. Maybe it's not the most zen way of thinking, but one of the most satisfying feelings for me has always been showing people that I'm capable of doing something they didn't think I was capable of. It's difficult to block voices of "can't" from your head and heart, especially if they're people you're close to and spend a lot of time with, but ultimately, if you want to achieve something, no one knows your drive and passion like you do. Smile and nod, be cordial, remember why you do what you do, then be a badass and prove them wrong.
