My life is in the shambles right now

[hiddenalias]

I get that.
For parents, no matter what age u are, u r still a kid from them. They always want to protect you.
And this feeling is a lot lot more if it's Indian.
I am an Indian too. But i have these special lovely parents who are like, 'do what you want, we are there to back you up'
They don't enforce themselves on me. The case is different on most of my other frnds. They always grudge about me being lucky.
But what I tell to them, I'll tell u to.
They are over protective cos they care.
Talk to them. Ask them to let you be independent. If not for life time, atleast for some time-frame, say 2-3 years, where you can prove yourself.
No need to leave them completely, but renting an apartment next to yours current or atleast in the neighborhood can be a good idea. All you need to do is talk to them once and be serious and positive enough to convince them. For Indian or any parent, nothings more important than their child and his/her happines.

Hey thanks for the reply. Actually what you have mentioned I have already tried of course common sense tells you to go the default route.

THe overprotectiveness of parents will range on a situation to situation basis so your friends who probably have over protective parents differ for reasons why mine are which is beside the point.

Just for the record, I have tried all this so that is all common sense things to try ......with all due respect this is the shittiest advice I have received......because now I realized no matter how old I become the only way out of this is

1 (according to my parents) get married and then my mom even told me yesterday that she'd go back to India.....

2 Leave anonymously without their expectations and cut ties with them (trust me this is the best option I have right about now that I am ready to pull out of my ass)

3 Scare the fucking shit out of them so they will be more than happy to not want you to be around constantly.......

Now these are the answers I can approve of for my situation......no one really knwos the situation until you are in the situation and have experienced it......kudos to you for having the laid back parents.

Moving forward, regardless of what the situation is, your advice, even with good intentions, is already been tried even before you suggested it, again its common sense advice which has already been attempted.....my mom is way too attached and yes the 2 are over bearing

look at it this way, I am stuck with them and when the suggestion comes up for my bro and sis to take them in their place, you can see the face they make "oh no I don't want you guys you keep them"

ANyways what I am hoping is whenever I become an AM to do what I want to do that will naturally get me the F out of here and really "start" my own life that I have been lacking for the last 15 years (I say 15 because after 18 is the real beginning to one's life).

I need some substance of outcomes through people who have been in my shoes using AM 6 or something that is the ultimate solution I am looking to read not common sense advice but thanks for trying to help out.....

For the record here's some things I feel that I am living the life of my parents and not for myself

1. they watch their ridicoulous indian drama networks on TV that I have to be forced to listen to from one room coming out of the living room constantly (my own place I would have never had it)

2. they have a shit load of stuf that is theirs (in my own place I would literally have nothing that would be squeeky clean and empty without the shit in the freezer that is their indian groceries or my personal room closet filled with 'their' stuff that doesn't need to be.

3. being evaluated by my mom n dad to make sure that I am dressed nice before I even step out of the house.....now you tell me that's not over doing it.....well live in my shoes folks and you will really get a taste of what I have been going through for the last one and a half decades..i am only surprised that I haven't reached mental breakdown and ended up in the loony hospital which I should have been years ago.

Lastly I hope for this reason that alpha male 6 or ASC or OF will upgrade me into a better human being than what I am.....this should have been in the introduction section but for the new comeers who come here and read this (the before me) and then hopefully a better 'after me' story of how far i've come with shannon's subliminals will see what magic wonders they can produce......we'll find out soon
