Growing up, I’ve always had the “family comes first” mentality; but as I grow older, I’m kind of feeling like I want my family to leave me alone kind of thing?

Am I just being selfish?

I understand you. I just want to have my space, let myself grow up and be on my own. Doesn't mean I hate my family or something like this. I only dislike being treated like a baby, silenced or dismissed 'cause "they know what is better for me."
How can I go out there to live if they keep me this way? Growing up with an overprotective family did more harm than good.
