AITAH for wanting privacy?
Hey, I'm back again with another story about my lovely mother and her and I's choices! I'm just gonna say that I'm between the age range of 13-18 and live with my parents, as someone of my age normally would, so people can have some background info.
Recently, my mom's been saying that I shouldn't have my doors in the first place and that she'll take away my door privileges if I close the doors to my room one more time. I just don't get where she's coming from, because she says it's signaling that I don't want to interact with my family and am trying to shut myself away from everyone? I don't intend that at all, but when I try to placate the words she's putting in my mouth I get shot down faster than a spy balloon in enemy territory.
I just want privacy sometimes, I don't want to isolate myself from my family and I don't intend any hateful or rude things towards them! But she won't let me explain that so I'm stuck this way.
Here's a few bonus things that she likes to do/did. Sometimes when I take a bit too long in the bathroom ( usually because of personal care, you get it ) she'll bang on the door and eventually pick the lock open and barge in just to scream at me. I really don't like it and it always scares me and sometimes makes me cry, because I try to make it quick in there already and it makes me feel uncomfortable.
She also used to have a camera in my room when I was, like, nine. I didn't really like that either, but one day it just disappeared when I was ten so that's that. Am I really appearing so closed off and hateful by doing some of these things? AITAH for just trying to keep my grasp on whatever shreds of privacy I am allowed to have in this house?
