Sit down with them and talk to them calmly

I get what you're saying, and I think you're right: it is the best way to solve any misunderstanding and any problem - through calm, meaningful communication.

That being said...

It's likely your parents are trying their best and think they're doing right by you.

No doubt. But I've fallen too many time into the trap of thinking that we bear the same values, or even nearly the same. All they care about is things and status that they give. I don't give a shit about that, nor do I want to. I'll be glad to sleep on the floor, because I like it. I'll be glad to spend all my money on a journey that won't be easy, or comfortable, in order to learn to fend off for myself, to get to know other countries in ways no tourist bus will ever show.

They don't understand it, and neither do they want to. To them, it's just another silly idea of mine; I can't know what's better for me, because they do, and they won't give me the room to try even to see me fail and poke me with it later, which is what they like to do.

Maybe your parents were good people - I hope they were. Even if they did make some mistakes - I hope they didn't, and I can't know whether they did - you could probably discern good intentions behind them and communicate using those common channels.

You can't do this with my parents even if you try. Some people get a crappy card dealt to them. They're stubborn bigots who don't care about anything or anyone but themselves much. To them, I'm what they call "I had no choice". Yeah, maybe they gave me things and fed me with money, but I don't give a shit about it; never did, and tried to communicate it - to no avail. I'd be happier living poorly but with people who care about me and who give me a reason to care about them (just being well-meaning parents would be enough). If you could grant me that, I'd give everything I own to you (even though it's going to take a lot of mail).

I understand that you mean well, and I wish our first conversation wasn't kicking each other in the shins (is that the spelling?). I appreciate that. But you don't know my situation. I can't solve it or make it better: I have to get out of it. I've got plenty of advices from people here on how to do that, and I'm going to do just that.
