You said you never had a girlfriend since 17...does that mean you have gf before?
Come on,is talking to girls that fun?
Plus...sure they control you so that you can't talk to girls online but at the same time,they seemingly allow you to come to a forum with girls and let you whine about them?
If you're an adult,you have the right to your own life.Anything happens,you take care of it.
If you're still a minor which i seriously doubt,then fine,listen to your parents.
First with parents on your toys,now with parents on talking to girls.What's next?Your parents complaining about your existence?
Seriously,think through carefully.Some parents are overprotective.Please appreciate that extra protection.At the least,they care.But if you really want your own awesome life and you're at adult age,why care so much about them.
Oh oh,and,your parents are not stuck up.They are just probably traditional and protective of you.Stuck up is a wrong description.
And going to disrespect your parent because they don't respect you?Tell me in what way did they not respect you?Did they say something and then go back on their words?Did they abuse their trust you had in them?Ya,you can say they don't respect you,only your brother gets respected.
The reason is simple,you probably have nothing to make them think they should respect you.Parents shouldn't respect you in the first place.But if they did,it means they are proud of you.That's all.
