I [18M] want to live a private and secluded life away from my family once I am able to move out. How can I?

I currently work at Safeway but got accepted to a prestigious college (not saying which) and scholarships will hopefully knock out a lot of the cost.

I don't have much in common with my controlling, infantilizing, and overbearing family and my conservative (in terms of values, not politics) relatives that are religious and use it to say what I should and shouldn't do.

I really don't like my parents because they robbed me of a childhood and I don't care if they die from cōvid, that's how much I resent them. I won't intentionally pass it onto them but I wouldn't care if they got it. They took away my childhood, I'll take away their son (me).

When I get out I'm making sure I move somewhere they wouldn't look. I'm also changing my phone plan and getting a new number, deactivating all social media accounts, going by aliases, ignoring their emails, and making no contact with family, only friends that I trust who don't know my family. Is this a good plan?

If you need at least a few reasons on why I'm cutting contact, the three most egregious would be 1. Thinking I'm handicapped because I have autism and treating me like a child my entire life then once I turn 18 they flip the switch and are like "if you want to be treated like an adult act like an adult", 2. Strict limiting and censorship of what I could access online and at what times I could even use the internet, even as a teen, and 3. Actually coming in public bathrooms to check on me and call my name even after 5 MINUTES of being in there, which is extremely embarrassing. I want nothing to do with my family as soon as I am financially able to and don't care if they die.

TL;DR: Title. I pretend to love them but in actuality I couldn't care less about them, and I'm so good at lying about it because their controlling taught me how to hide everything I do from them. I keep so many secrets it's not even funny. I will never trust them again.

The difference between being right and being understood

My boyfriend and I are 28. We’ve been together for about 1.5 years and recently moved in together. He’s a pretty patient and easygoing person (Type B) whereas I’m more particular (Type A). Of course there are two sides to every trait, and my Type A nature benefits us in some ways too. Like all couples, we have differences in perspective or preference. When this happens, he will usually say something like “I disagree (with your perspective) but fine.” I tend to push the issue in an attempt to get him to understand where I’m coming from. This escalates the disagreement into a fight because he perceives it as me trying to be “right”. I truly just want to be understood (and I want to understand where he’s coming from) so I’m looking for more of a dialogue whereas he avoids conflict and just wants it to be over as quickly as possible. His general approach is “agree to disagree” but that doesn’t make sense to me when it’s an issue that will keep coming up and requires compromise. I’m n...

My (27f) gf (27f) is getting tired of me not sharing intimate/ personal info about me

I’ve always been extremely private and introverted. We have more than a year together and we’ve been living together for like 6 months, we get along pretty good and I’m really in love with her, however I can not seem to open up... and I can tell it’s frustrating to her by the way she tells me it bothers her that she feels she’s the only one committed and the one that’s always sharing... At this point I don’t even know if it is that I’ve gotten too used to it, to the point I’ve became lazy to talk about myself or give any genuine personal opinion... it sucks, really, I need to communicate better... Where do I start? Tl;dr: I can’t be completely intimate with my gf and its frustrating her, I need to communicate better because I really love her... where to start?

My (23M) girlfriend (25F) relationship is confusing to me. I might be the problem, or maybe we are just incompatible.

I met my girlfriend after a few serious breakups that led me to change both intentionally and unintentionally over a few years. For better and for worse. She had just gotten out of an engagement with a verbally and physically abusive man who had a cocaine problem. We have been together about 8 months now. We hit it off and spent a lot of time together but she began to push our relationship as if there were a time clock for milestones. I was pressed beyond my comfort zone and went with it because of my affection for her. My living situation fell apart and I lost a few thousand dollars to shit roommates right around the time she and I met and she offered to let me stay with her. I agreed with some resistance. I pay for food, help her with bills, and throw money toward rent while trying to get back on my feet. As long as we have been together she has gotten more possessive, angry, and irrational. She is dealing with shit from her engagement and I feel shes looking for a level of seriou...
