Cant get along with my mom? critical?

Its like the older and smarter I get, the more she makes me feel as if I don't know what I'm talking about. I'm about to turn 22 and our relationship was literally never this bad until I got older. I cant even sit down and watch a movie without her finding something to yell at me for as I am home from college. We just got in a fight and I told her I'm going back to my college town. I'm not happy with our relationship.

Help us keep this site organized and clean. Thanks!

    Find your own place, you are 22.

    If you do you will almost certainly find that your relationship will improve.

      I really do love and appreciate my mom ALOT but she makes me so mad sometimes to the point where I say stuff I don't mean. Thank you for the advice I will definitely keep that in mind. However I do live in a college apartment currently.

    22 year olds tend to be morons who think they know shit but are clueless to the real world or reality. She is probably just annoyed with you spewing nonsense like it's the gospel. When you are older and realize what a fool you've been making of yourself the problem will solve itself.

      >You say 22 years olds are morons who talk nonsense and that's why

    I am 21 and have the exact same problem. I'm sorry to know someone else is going through it too.

    At age 22, you should probably just dump your parents. You need to create your own life that expresses your own values and skills. Your parents are still wired to interact with you like you are about age 14. It's a common thing with parents.

    I dumped my parents at age 21. It was a positive and adult thing to do. My resilience and newly acquired bachelors degree worked in my favor. I soon had a challenging professional job, and was building my own career and net worth.

  • Sounds like she's one of those frustrated mothers who won't let you live your life (I have one and I thank God I live 350 days a year very very far from her). Yeah, the best decision is to move, it really makes me happy to study, work and live in another place.

        Hmm... I think she's probably jealous of your intelligence, and afraid that you will be more successful than her.

          That could be a possibility but I don't see why she would feel jealous.

            its not a possibility, your mom will be happy and proud the more successful you become

            • Let's not be so hasty, bob7. My father hated me and wanted me to become unsuccessful, as I grew older and better than him. The better I became at a subject or in a domain, the more aggressive he became against me, ruining my entire progress and forcing me to start studying something else and move in another class so I must start from 0 and be the worst student there. He had a pleasure of seeing me suffering, and my mom was also nagging as fuck with no actual interest or happiness in my success, but not so toxic. Parents are not always loving and caring, as in your imagination, so stop insulting people unless you really know what you're saying.
