Times are tough now; has it always been like this or have you always viewed your relationship with your parents like this?
What do you equate to happy? Independence?
Do you have a full time job (I didn’t read a well defined answer in your response)? Do you have any bills? Credit Cards? A car (car payments)? Insurance? Do you pay for school?
I hate to beat a dead horse but it really sounds like you may be complaining about nothing unless your parents are just bagging on you all the time. It does seem hypocritical for them to be on your case for doing something they do that they don’t like but it is something I think all parents, at one time or another, express to their children.
Do as I say not as I do?
All a part of being a parent I suppose.
I really can’t sympathize with you simply being in a bad mood around your parents. I think a lot of teens (16-19) and young adults (20-22) get stuck in a rut like you are now with the whole college thing etc and may find living with their parents puts them in a bad mood but until you’re fully on your own you should just bare with it. Find a hobby/part time job/full time job or whatever to just get out of the house and be productive.
I assume your not paying your tuition so you’re still a kid/person/young adult (whatever you want to call it) being put through school (same as your entire life K-12) and being supported by your parents to further your future. Take it with a grain of salt and be thankful that your provider(s) still has a job(s) and can afford to do so.
Take a deep breath. Exercise. Go to the gym. Talk with your parents about it. Do something and just take it as it comes. In 10 years you’ll look bad and realize it really wasn’t as bad as you thought it was…maybe
HA!
