If someone makes the "you said you really want that but since I don't see you sacrificing to make it happen, you must not 'really want' it enough to qualify as ' really want' " argument in my presence, I reserve the right to flip a few goddamn tables and maybe not talk to them until I simmer the hell down and won't say something we'll all regret.
Speaking only for myself, my apparent priorities have a lot to do with what large important part of my life just broke, having food that doesn't nauseate me or leave me dangerously exhausted after preparation, and the current state of my impulse control.
The stuff that I "really want" but don't strictly speaking need tend to take a back seat to the stuff I can't avoid. So I get a little resentful when someone implies that they feel if a person isn't immediately or directly working towards having the thing as a goal that their desire is lacking. Maslow's fucking hierarchy. Fuck.
