My mother and father piss me off about my clothing

My mother refused to let me go grocery shopping with her today because of how I am too warmly dressed and overbundled up and she is embarrassed by it.my dad yelled at me for putting on gloves and said what is the issue? We are trying to get you help but you just keep getting worse. What is wrong with your hands that you need to cover them for? It’s a day like yesterday. My mom yelled at me for being overbundled up with my winter attire and said she wanted to smack me because I was stubborn and refused to change or something like that. She was yelling at me in the car and saying what was the necessity for wearing winter coat, boots. Scarfs, hats, and handwarmers ( gloves) when it was 75 almost 80 degrees outside. She says this obsession is ridiculous and why have become so obsessed with clothing to this extent.its not like I have a medical condition like anemia or I’m receiving cancer treatment. She says it’s stubbornness not an illness that’s making dress like this. She says if I am not willing to give a little bit when it comes to my clothing and it be my way or the highway then she is not willing to give in either. She says the way she feels she shouldn’t have to put up with it anymore and things better change because I am not going to continue to do this in her house. Seriously my parents and other people care this much about my fucking clothing? They think it is unhealthy and inappropriate for the weather. And in the summer I’m liable to pass out and have heat stroke. It’s fall now and the weather has been in the. 70s. One weather station said 72-74 while others said 75-80. Mg mother said look around do you see anyone else dressed like you? I told her I was not changing the way I dress to appease narrow minded idiots who have nothing better to do than worry about my clothing..she pulled down my hood when I got into her car and said I didn’t need a hood in the car. She threatened to take me to the loony bin if I put my hood back on. My mom also wants an explanation for why the way I dress. I told her it was to keep me warm and comfortable. And that was what I felt like. She feels there is no justification for the way I dress and says even I can’t come up with an excuse for why I dress the way I do..I’m so sick of my parents being controlling about the way I dress and making comments and shoving their opinions down my throat..and just criticizing me..my mom says the way I dress is a huge issue no employer would let me dress the way I do to work..she says I’m trapped within my clothing and says I apparently smell like sweat. No I don’t. She tells me to stop being in denial and to see the truth. She knows three other schizophrenics but none who dress like me..it’s just been an issue for years and I’m sick of if. My dad said i was going to get help voluntarily or I would end up in a situation where I would be told what to do. All of this bullshit over my clothing..I hate my family.sometimes and feeling Invalidated and misunderstood. At the cosmetic dermatologist she also yanked down my hood from over my hat. Yet my mom paid for my cosmetic laser treatment to fix.my lesion on my face. I hate that their help has to come with conditions and strings attached. It makes me very angry that my family. Does not respect how I choose to dress. And instead are trying to coerce. Me to change how I dress by threats of not taking me on outings if things don’t change. They are control freaks with how I dress and I’ have had enough. It’s not easy to just leave their house as I have no where else to go. I’m sick of the criticism., insults.( saying I look like a buffoon), ridicule., and denigration. My mom asked why don’t my friends have the courage to ask me why am I dressed the way I am and what the hell is up with that? It’s because they accept the way I dress and and know how to keep their comments to themselves. It doesn’t help that my parents have guardianship over me and that just makes me feel so hopeless. My parents protection and support come with a price. And the price is I cannot be authentically myself without it being a problem especially in regard to how I dress. Why can’t my parents just respect me and accept me for who I am including the way I dress instead of trying to change me? There is nothing in regard to how I dress that needs to be changed. I’m sick of being compared to other people and their clothes. It’s not my problem. People dress very lightly when the weather is not hot. I don’t care if I’m in the minority in New England. I dress how I feel comfortable. It’s always something with my family and I’m tired of it. I’m sick of being told I look like I’m going to Alaska. And my grandfather joking. I must be from Alaska. I’m sick of my parents saying everyone is staring at me because of how I am dressed. That’s just very anxious.and paranoid thinking or narcissistic thinking. How can something so trivial cause me so many problems. It’s ridiculous and maddening.
