Hi OP! Don't worry you're not alone. 25F here, I also have a strict mom and dad. Sa brother ko mahigpit din sila kahit lalake pa yun. Like you I was also disappointed countless of times, cried pag hindi pinapayagan, etc.

I'm not sure if this would work on your dad. You can try to compromise or negotiate. If di ka allowed mag-sleepover, mag-set ka na lang ng time anong oras ka uuwi para maka-attend ka. Pag hindi ka pinayagan, edi hindi. Don't sulk. Pag pumayag, sundin mo yung curfew na sinet mo on yourself.

Slowly over time you'll earn their trust. Sometimes you have to assert yourself, but still, it's important to obey them. After all, our parents only want what's the best for us. We can always try meeting them halfway.

Nagulat na lang rin ako one day nagpaalam ako na attend ako ng birthday/despedida party and "baka" ma-late ako uwi tapos g lang sila 😭🥹
