How do NEET anons that live with their parents fucking do it? I've had a part-time for about a year and it finally hit me the other day how irritating it is being in this situation (kek when I remind myself how I've never had a major issue with it until recently). The main issues are privacy and control.
They've always been like this, but I've never complained or rebelled because it would have just increased the lack of privacy/control and their house their rules. The classic example is not letting me go out really, or have friends of my choosing throughout middle and high school. I kept dealing with it in uni because they were paying, which I am very grateful for, but, again, I never did certain things out of fear they would stop paying. For example, I remember expressing interest in dorming, which would have been cheaper than commuting in my scenario, but they repeatedly said no. Later they did change their minds (2 years or so), but I decided against it for academic reasons. There are more examples of things throughout uni, but I'm not going to continue.
I'm a year post uni now. I realize I'm pretty privileged because I could be fucking homeless right now with uni debt and working a shitty part-time instead of not having to pay rent/many bills, but I know I'm not crazy for letting it get to me (add on not having friends). I'm working harder to make my situation better, reaching out to people for opportunities, looking out of state, etc.. Every day is a hard, but I remind myself how I made it through MS/HS/UNI. To ease the stress a little, I started drinking aside from working out. Am I being dramatic? Was it worth the sacrifice of freedom for almost zero financial stress?
