@QuietEd2019 My friend said I was the only person she knew, other than herself, who was interested in these things. In her case, it makes total sense as she visited her family in Ireland several times each year.

I think we’re constantly learning and growing and redefining our priorities in life. There’s nothing wrong with questioning, but my advice would be to think about what you want, what’s important and meaningful to you, not what you think you should have or do by a certain age. Find some things you enjoy doing, and do them! Getting caught up in the “shoulds” will only feed your anxiety and depression.
Regarding your parents, you’re an adult, and you can make your own choices. If you move somewhere that makes you happier, you could always send them money to help them out. You could also ask your siblings to help. It shouldn’t all fall on you.
I’ve found that living life on my own terms is best for me, and those I care about accept that.

@ChampagneOnIce Thank you for the feedback and advice. My parents are like helicopter parents, they feel they know what is best. They don't like to take risks in life and feel they have to hold my hand. They underestimate me and my ability to take care of myself. They think their way is the only way. At this point am done waiting for their approval or blessings. Just going to pick a place and make the move.

Dear Lonely Dreamer. First of all you not alone. I have read all your story and I understand. I truly do. I am one of six kids and I am the only one still at home. It suits me fine. I have zero money and I am still a student.
But if I were in your shoes, I would move away. It will be hard. It's not easy leaving what you're used to. Your parents may be upset but they are older than you and more resilient than you think. They will get used to it. Doesn't mean you can't keep in touch. Just go. Tell your siblings to bugger off. Shock them into realising you are no longer their servant.
Sorry, that's Blodyn's view on the whole shenanigans!
Be you!
