& I wouldn't be worried about going to sex related activities that are organized & at a paid venue...they probably have security & shit to ensure everyone's safety.
Your family won't know unless you decide to tell them...or something happens. It's your choice whether you want to talk to them or not, but it sounds like you aware of your environment & smart about being safe. Other than that, there's really not much more you can do. You should never give up your life or happiness worrying about what COULD happen. If you did that, you'd never leave the house...or even shower...so many people slip in the shower!
Listening to Americans online...it's very disturbing...so much:
You could get robbed at any time. You need to carry weapons. Train in self defense. The police won't help you. The gubbment is out ta getcha. Collect canned fewds. Fortify the bunker...like holy shit.
Just exercise common sense. Be aware of your surroundings. Don't do anything reckless & read up on what to do, should something bad happen. You absolutely are more vulnerable as a woman, but don't let that ruin your shit & keep you from living. Like, just be normal-people sensible & careful & you'll most likely be fine.
A Munch is considered a type of organized event where kinky people meet up in a vanilla setting to talk all things kinky. Its a stepping stone platform. You go to munch, meet some people, then hopefully make some friends and go to other more progressive events. (I dont really plan to do that yet). I think this post was created out of anger for still living with sheltering parents.
If I lived on my own, this post wouldnt be happening as I would be going to all the events I felt comfortable going to alone, and not worrying about anyone but me
But don't rage at your parents. They obviously love the shit out of you. Being overprotective means that they care...it's stifling, but it's a good thing.
Just be careful. Don't do anything reckless & take care of yourself. If you prove to them that you are capable of assessing the risks, making sure that you are safe & being smart, they will slowly begin to trust you. If they object to stuff, just talk to them & let them know that you are being safe.
They're being bitches because they love you & that's a good thing, even though it doesn't feel like it right meow.
I’m at that point in my life developmentally where I should be going out and exploring things on my own. But because i wasn't very good at making friends, its hard to please my parents and do the things I want. I know they love me, and I will miss them when they are gone, but sometimes I wish they would listen to my feelings too
They will. Just as asserting your independence has been a big process for you, letting go will be a big process for them. It will take time (assuming they aren't, like, super crazy lol). Just be honest with them, be responsible & show them that you can be trusted & that you are responsible. They'll slowly ease up.
I'm sure you'll lie to them about shit; I did with my parents, but try telling the truth occassionally, letting them know you'll be safe, being home when they say etc...they'll probably trust you a bit more...this is assuming they aren't totally overbearing...
My mother work in the media, so she always has some kind of story to share about some girl getting stabbed on the train in broad daylight or someone getting stuck in gunfire in a “safe” neighborhood. I always assure her that i am being as safe and aware as possible, but she always interprets thats as sass. Go figure
Is this wrong?

pardon my questioning but, if your in small town USA, they more than likely wont exist.
I have a bunch of friends across the pond who have been going to munches in their respective countries who turned me onto this.

Its not a small town 300,000+. I like your questioning because I wanna find this shit.
That sounds like a bunch of fun hahaha!
