It triggers me so fucking bad even just seeing my family members near my room now. "I just came in to turn your lamp off" "I'm doing you a favor, I'm putting your laundry away" "You had a plate on your desk so I went in to grab it" ALL I WANT IS FOR YOU TO STOP I DONT CARE ABOUT ANYTHING ELSE im literally at my wit's end i'm about to put a fucking camera in my room

It's NEVER just what they claim to be doing. Turned my lamp off, sure, but why did I just walk in on you inspecting the bottom of my closet? Put my laundry away AND moved my books and papers around. My door was closed so you went in to do whatever you do and conveniently found a plate to "be helpful". I can't afford to move out

I literally drop whatever I'm doing when I hear the hallway creak in a way that feels like someone might be near my room. I'm not hiding anything insane either but the last time they "found" something it was ONE beer bottle when I had turned 21 and they sat me down in the living room with the empty bottle on the table like "What is this? 😢 Alcoholism isn't a joke."

They're both retired and ALWAYS home. ALWAYS. They have very different sleep schedules so one of them is ALWAYS awake in the living room. Day shift and night shift. I feel like a prisoner. Whenever I leave the house I have to play twenty questions to justify myself and god forbid I dress slightly nicer than usual. And then come home to my room slightly different than I left it. The obvious answer is move out but I can't pay $1500/month plus utilities which is normal rent in my area
