The best way to put them at ease is to convince them that you understand them.

unfortunately, overprotective parents don't have the habit of listening to their kids... probably moving out is the best option...

Approach them in what way? It all depends on the context. If you give me more I can give you a little more helpful advice

Keep calm. Age gap could be the reason and also they might love you more so they're worrying more for you

That can be super frustrating. Have you told them you appreciate their love but asked as an adult about boundaries?

Tell them you're grown and behave smart so they don't be worried about you.

  Oh ok got you !! Well calmly talk to them and express how you feel and ask them to give you more space n freedom. If you're a good kid there's no reason they shouldn't trust you
