Has anyone else gotten a lot of discouragement when it comes to breastfeeding?

My mom was asked by my grandma and my aunt if I'd breastfeed and my mo said yes. They both jumped all over her, saying that I wouldn't be able to, that they couldn't, it's really hard, etc. and told my mom that she needed to tell me to not breastfeed, that formula was better and easier. When my mom relayed this conversation, we were both pretty annoyed with their attitudes. My mom breastfed both of us kiddos without any issues and encouraged me to do the same.

In another situation, I had an acquaintance ask and I was pretty vague, saying I hadnt decided and was still kicking around my options. She was adamant about not breastfeeding, saying that it was awful and stressful and she hated that her husband couldn't feed their LO and that I'd be smart to go the formula route so everyone else could feed my baby for me.

I find it incredibly rude how people go out of their way to discourage breastfeeding. I never bring it up and lately I've been noncommittal about it, but it hasn't helped.

I don't understand why there's such negativity or even why people care what I am or am not going to do with my boobies!
