Is it normal that i just want a bit of peace and quiet?

I love being alone in my room, but my parents get pissed off about me having the door closed all the time. I guess they don't understand the concept of quiet.

Everyone needs their alone time. I tend to stay up until like 4 in the morning because I basically have the house to myself as long as I'm not too loud. I used to hate it when someone in my family had to work a shift that them staying up late.

i hate it when anyone makes too much noise or bothers me when im trying to do something. one time my dad turned on the indy 500 or nascar or something, and i was trying to read. i sort of had a spazz attack because the sound of the racecars did something to my brain. anyway, everyone likes to be left alone to have peace and quiet. cheers :)

Get some ear plugs

Some people never understand the concept of privacy, parents being the worst culprit. I had to move in with my step mum for a while a couple of years ago. It didn't seem to matter that I am in my 40's, she reverted to treating me like a teenager in the house:
Knocking on my bedroom door, shouting up the stairs for me, banging and crashing pans in the kitchen because she thought I ought to be up etc, etc.

It drove me nuts, I did speak to her about it and it calmed down a bit, but I have to say it didn't stop until I moved back out into my own place.

Parents cannot get their head around children being grown up, I'm sorry to say your situation is unlikely to change until you leave home.

Perhaps you can sleep at a different time.

Uncompatible personalities.It is like putting a quiet dog with an hyperactive dog in the same room.It is not like you really enjoy being by yourself,you just do not enjoy your parents or relatives company cause,they ain't got anything interesting tonsay,they do not wanna do anything you might consider fun,they are basically disturbing presences. So you go to bed and as soon as you are about to get asleep,they get loud.
Almost as if they do it on purpose. You need people to develop a strong friendship with,people you can depend on and share stuff with,people to spend most of your time with,but thet are all into the whole self sufficiency thing so they expect you to just go out there and find your own people to hang out with.But the people you need are quite rare,if not impossible to find,so you just chose the option of staying in your room,kicking back,but as you do this,the situation just gets more and more unsustainable so you just start wishing you could run away.But you would be upset.Cause even if you do,it would not feel as good as you think you would.
Cause the vast majority of people out there is just like them.
You do not realize it since you do not see them in their private environment,and even if you do,it is only different for a while,then the novelty wears off and you find yourself having the same relational issues you had before. If not worse cause your parents might not take action about whatever it is you do or do not do and they think you should,but anybody else?they would bother you even more.
So yeah,it is normal,kind of a sad commentary tho.

I honestly could've written this. Most of the day I spend my time in my room. Why? Because I have a lot of homework that's pending to be done. My room is the closest thing to quiet I have in this boisterous hell. My dad hates that I "hide" in my room for practically all the week but what he doesn't know is that I'm there to escape the wretched environment creates for me everyday. I understand how you feel. Glad to see that I'm not the only one.

XANAX!!
