i took a look at your past comments. i'm getting a little personal but i hope you don't mind. you have the financial resources and seem like a mature person, you should move out.

think of it like an investment in learning the skills to be fully independent. it'll also build self confidence and trust in your faculties.

separating yourself from the social conditioning of your parents will give you the breathing room to develop your own intrinsic goals and interests.

This is probably the best advice in the whole thread. Nothing could be a better investment in yourself then living on your own. I for one didn't realize how much parents take care of for you. Once I moved out on my own I really got a sink or swim feeling, and that was the jolt I needed.

Move out, or better, move abroad. There are a ton of fun places out there to see, live, make friends. The time away from your scene will probably help you reassess what you care about.

Heh, I don't mind. Anything I say on the internet can and will be used against me.

I appreciate your advice and it's definitely something I plan to follow.
