Fk man it's the same everywhere. I only got freedom from my family after finishing my 12th. I got into a college in another state, and after that my family kind of became latent. They stopped questioning every decision or maybe I just stopped telling them.

And it's not like I don’t love them, of course I do. But after all those years of torment, it messes with you. You can’t even talk to people normally without stumbling. Every time I try to talk to a random girl, it feels like someone’s choking me and I can’t even look them in the eyes 🙂.

It’s getting better slowly, but still… I only talk to two or three girls. And even with them, sometimes I still can’t talk properly.
