I swear, I can’t do anything in this house without my parents treating me like I’m a literal child. Today, I tried to make a simple omelette, and they immediately started talking shit, saying I was going to burn myself and whatever. Like, wtf? It’s an omelette. Not rocket science.
This isn’t just about cooking. It’s everything. I can’t do anything alone because they act like I’m incapable. I’m 24, but I feel like I’m still 17 because they never let me grow up. No wonder I’m in this situation. No social life, no independence, and obviously no experience with women. How am I supposed to be a functioning adult when they keep holding me back like this?
Anyone else have parents that infantilize them like this? How do you even escape this mindset when you’ve been treated like a kid your whole life?
