Hello Chemist: I see this is your first post here on PC. So... welcome to PsychCentral! I hope you find the time you spend here to be of benefit.

I'm sorry you in this quandary. I myself am an old man now. But I can still recall (if somewhat dimly) what it was like to be your age & to want to do all of the things other young people my age were doing. Unfortunately I don't know as I have a lot to offer in the way of suggestions. In my case, my own "liberation", so to speak, came when I was able to move into a dormitory on the campus of the college I was attending. (Prior to that, I had commuted from my parents' home.)

From what you wrote it sounds to me as though, so long as you live in your parents' home, circumstances may not be likely to change for you. And in that case, getting out on your own, either as a result of going to college or getting a job, may be your best means of freeing yourself from your current situation.

You mentioned social skills are a problem for you. One of the forums, here on PC, that may be of interest would be the social anxiety forum. Here's a link:

And then here are links to some articles, from PsychCentral's archives, on the subject of social anxiety. Perhaps some of the information in them can be of some help:
