Dear Felix:

If I understand correctly, you are saying that your friend told you that you “should explore life more”, meaning not live with your parents and continue your father’s businesses, but live away from your parents, getting a job of your own. You agree with what he said, but you are afraid that if you tell your parents that you want to live away and get a job elsewhere, they will be angry at you.

If that’s what you meant in your recent post, then my input is that if you find a job and are able to financially support yourself living away from your family, you don’t need them to agree with you: you can make your own way in life regardless of their agreeing or disagreeing with you.
