Hello.
So, I am 32 turning 33 later this year.
I am currently living with one of my parents, to whom I pay rent. I am in the final year of my (second) bachelors degree.

I have received a lot of negative comments about my current living situation, which makes me feel quite bad. Some people have made comments like "oh, at her age you'd think she'd want to live on her own!' and other people making comments about how I'm old to be in university.

About my housing: I tried seeing if I could move out, but the costs I would incur would be too much for me with my current income level. I am hoping that after I finish this degree next year I will be able to move.
I completed my first degree in my 20s and went back again later because I really enjoy learning. There are a few other people in their 30s in my program.

Anyways, I'm very sensitive about other people's opinions, especially because I'm also dealing with quite a bit of depression and anxiety and am struggling with life in general. I'm doing what I can do considering the circumstances.
