It sounds like you stopped doing what you did not want to do in the first place.
Which is ok. You need to be you to be healthy and happy..
Growing up myself I know i did not do it the way my parents thought I should.
But it was my way. Yes i made misstakes here and there as you will.
But you really truly have to be happy with yourself. As long as you cause no harm to anyone...I am sure being you is A good thing.
Maybe you can show your parents this post. So they can see you have changed into the real you
Which is really no change.....
As far as being thier favorite....
Just be thier child if you can which is being you
