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?
