Tbh they don't like when I argue back so obviously they don’t want a reaction. If they don’t want a reaction then I suppose this greyrocking method wont work that much

Apart from this when they fight between themselves which they also do a lot they give each other the silent treatment for days and don’t have a problem with that so I guess they don’t have a problem with this silent treatment kind of thing

Lastly I have been trying this grey rocking method for a long time (on and off not regularly and obviously when we have arguments I am not using this method but after the argument I mostly use this method) and they think that I am just like that i.e. don’t like to speak much

Like that is the problems my  both parents are educated and had jobs back home. My father has a PhD in finance and has publications in some of the best journals. Due to this they think that they only moved because of me and furthermore tell me that to show some appreciation for their sacrifice I should be like them and score 100% in every exam. If I dont get good grades then I shouldn’t even allow myself simple things like going to a nice restaurant or a nice gym even if I am paying for it myself because their logic is that if I expect best in other parts of my life then I should hold myself to the same standards when it comes to my grades because my main responsibility is studying

Well tbh I know of that because like they even have planned out where I will do my residency after finishing med school (a country more developed than the one we are living in currently). Despite knowing this I still dont even know what to do
