You and I both. However, I'm 23.
My Uncles on each side of my family live with their Mothers.
I couldn't...
I can't imagine myself living here for another few months.
I have the same issues you do.
There are a lot of family issues with mine -- dog eat dog competition I call it.
My Dad has a problem, too...
I can't figure it out why he does and says the things he does.
He acts like a child and then in turn I act silly and stupid and get in trouble for it like at a job.
So if you have the resources then do it!
I wish I would have done it when I was working.
Now I left that job. I took the summer off and now looking again.
I had a plan to move in to a small little home with a girlfriend, but the job I had made me terribly miserable and she decided the relationship wasn't for her.
Now I'm still seeking to move out, even though my Mom wants me to live here like my Uncles.
If I lived here any longer, I'd go insane.
I'd die at a VERY early age regretting my entire life.
It's that bad.
It holds me back.
I have nothing negative towards those who still live at home. I very high percentage of people live at home today.
I just couldn't do it myself.
So when I say 'Yes, get out of your Parent's house', I don't mean it as anything negative.
I am simply pushing you to do it.
I wish I had that supportive push because it's what I need, too.
Nonetheless, if you want to PM me, do it!
I'd love to compare living situations and find someone who thinks like me.
We already think a like and feel a like.
I'd love to get to know your situation through PM if you'd like.
Other than that, try it out.
Take a vacation like everyone is saying.
Stay at a hotel for a week.
For me, I'd have to do it under the radar.
I just feel awkward leaving my family.
My Mom always tells everyone I'm going to live with her. Hell, the two guys at her work still lives with their parents and their 40+ years old.
So what I'd do in my case is get an apartment for a month to just go to during the day and night and come home like everything is fine (I do that now, but I just drive around during the day and night).
I even thought about getting a hotel for a weekly price of like $250. It's a VERY decent hotel... Several floors.
OR, recently, I thought about renting an office space for $400-$600.
A year ago I was looking into like a large business building renting small offices...
I even wanted to get an apartment and just stay there secretly.
Then I have my own little place to stay and go to when I don't want to deal with people here.
I just have no reason to move out so I don't even know how to start such a conversation with my parents, even though we don't really have conversations.
If I had that girlfriend then i'd have a reason to move out.
I'd REALLY like to move far away to another State and start over completely.
The idea sounds amazing, but the process is the hard part.
I just have no reason, even though I know this family is very negative and detrimental to my health.
It's so hard to explain how I feel.
I avoid awkward conversations or hurt feelings...
