My family wants me to live in another city, but I don't want to!

I want to build my own life, but my family is insisting on sending me to another city. Instead of supporting me to succeed in my professional life, feeling this pressure is making things very difficult for me. What do you think I should do?

I would never go. Period.

How old are you? Do you work?

@uykuarasi I’m 24 years old, I work but the salary is low, that’s why they’re getting into support stuff :neutral_face:

Support is one thing, pressure is another. Why don’t you defend your decisions a bit more clearly?

I went through a similar situation. My family wanted me to return to our hometown, but I didn’t leave the city where I found a job. At first, they had a hard time with it, but eventually, they had to accept it. If you say “okay” for them, the issue is resolved.

@camkenari it’s easy to say this definitively, but when family factors come into play, things get complicated.

I don’t know how strong your family ties are, but you need to speak clearly about this: how much space will they occupy in your life right now? If they are offering support, is it presented as a conditional dependency, or do they genuinely care about you? This distinction is important.
