Hey, I hear you man. That's super frustrating that your mom is still trying to boss you around and tell you what to do, even though you're 23 years old now.
It's crazy disrespectful of her to be treating you like a little kid when you're a grown-ass adult. You should be making your own decisions and living your life the way you want to, not taking orders from your mom.
I get that it can be tough to stand up to your parents, especially your own mom. You probably still want her approval and support. But you gotta make it clear to her that you're not gonna just blindly do whatever she says anymore.
Have a serious talk with her about it. Explain that you appreciate her advice, but the final choices are yours to make now. Set some boundaries so she knows she can't just control you like that. If she keeps trying to boss you around, don't be afraid to create some distance for a while.
Your independence and self-respect are way more important than just giving in to keep your mom happy. You're a grown man, not a little kid. Demand the respect you deserve, even if it means standing up to your own mom.
I know it's not gonna be easy, but stay strong, bro. You got this. Don't let her keep treating you like a child when you're a fully grown adult. Take charge of your own life!
If you’re still living with her then that’s why. She won’t really treat you like an adult until she has no financial responsibility to you.
As long as you don't live alone, I think it's normal.
