Where my parents are from, they lived in ranch family where all the kids stay even till old age with them they all live together forever.

 

Well they have that same mentality still and they want me to stay with them forever. Whenever i say i want to move out on my own, they start scolding me and saying how stupid it is.

 

I want to have a gf someday and living with parents is aweful. can't do nothing and i'm controlled. so that wouldn't work.

 

in fact, they don't even want me to go out after 5pm.

 

How should I do this? how should i finally make my move.

 

And no i'm not 18 i'm old. early 30s

Do you have a job or a career? If so, (hopefully your parents aren't controlling your money) just move out. Look at real estate ads and find a suitable apartment/house to rent. This will be the single best thing you can do to improve your social circle- men and women both.

 

You are a grown man. They can't tell you what you can or cannot do.

It's really simple - put money down on a house or apartment, sign the papers, pack your things and move out. Your parents will get over it. If they don't, that's their choice. They're being unreasonable and unfair to expect you to stay with them and for them to believe they can still tell you what to do. I have a son who's 20 yrs old and I wouldn't dream of treating him this way. Walk away and get your own life and independence. Your parents are way off base.

 

If you have to sneak away and then drop the bomb on them, then do that.
