I Hate When People Pressure Me

My dad just asked me right now if I'm interested in taking a computer program class. Why the hell would I be interested in that when I've never once expressed interest in computers?! Sure, I'm good with them but I'm not passionate about them. I just wish my parents would stop making my choices. I'm in my twenties so I feel like I should be running my life the way I want. Not them. For right now, I'm fine with the way my life is. At my job I'm making more than minimum wage at my job plus bonuses. I'm helping clients lose weight and they have been. They keep wanting me to find new work because they know my job isn't in my field but that doesn't mean I don't like it. Sure, it's not a career but it's good for now until an opportunity for acting comes along.

I hate that kind of pressure as well it's not in any way proactive or helpful.

Thank you! Exactly! I just wish they would stop looking at me like I'm suffering. Sure, I wish I was doing my dream career but my moment will come when it comes. Maybe in a year, I'll look at my finances and see if I can move out. But right now I'm fine with the way things are.
