yes and its so painful, all they do is nag! non stop and they justify it on the fact that they are just looking out for me but its smothering to say the least, my dad is umbearable he has a short temper and if mum doesnt agree with his opinion then he forces her to agree with him anyway, i have a deadline of waking up at 8:30 am every morning and if i go over then i will be thrown onto the streets which in my case wont help as im still at university; ive never had a relationship with my folks because they dont see me a friend they see me as a chore and they treat parenting like a dictatorship that must be adhered to, im not sure if anyone can relate but they are very old fashioned and its rubbed off on me, i mean ive noticed that many of my friends are enjoying their life and their parents are the opposite of mine, like they are best friends instead of the other way around; also when my parents went away on holiday i noticed that i wasnt feeling as anxious and i was actually enjoying myself, all the paranoia was gone until they returned

yes, im 23 and still live with them, ive inherited my sp from them, my mom has one symptom, she cant eat in public, but otherwise is very sociable and outgoing, dad has sa in a very mild form and hides it behind aggressiveness. Its my moms negativity that 'raised' my sp, she almost always speaks in angry voice and makes angry grimases no matter with whom she speaks and what. When i look at old photos, i see shes almost always angry in them. Shes always spoekn with me like i was retarded, explaining every little thing for half an hour, but same time i had the best grades at school. She made me feel guilty all the time. Since childhood i unawarely await this moms negativity from all other people. I realized it only few weeks ago. Now it doesnt matter anymore as i do cbt therapy and get better and better. Srry for offtopic.

I know what you mean rko 74! I live at home with my parents and i am 46. I am a very lonely person and no matter how i try i can't seem to make any friends. So i just give up after a while.
But as i say i live and depend on my parents. If i didnt have my parents, i would have nobody.
But it is embarrasing. Living with them at my age

its funny that you would say that because for me its the complete opposite because if i moved out i wouldnt have these two people breathing negative vibes down my throat all the time and when i house sitted earlier this year i noticed that my social anxiety faded away at work and at Uni so perhaps i allow my parents to trigger me off which would normal as they threaten me all the time so im always in a state of paranoia at home, the only reason i haven't moved out is because im still Uni and just wouldnt be able to afford renting and gas, electrical, water, internet etc, i just need to find a way that i can earn enough money and im rapidly working at it.
