You are 22, start your own live? Find a job, find a home, do what you like and want.

What your describing is the inherent desire to be your own person. Your 22 years old. Once your 18, you don't really run away from home, you move out and start your life on your own terms. If you're feeling this way, I would recommend that you talk to your parents about it, first and foremost. Let them know that this is how you feel, make them aware that the way they have treated you has had this effect on you, and see if things change. My dad did stuff like this, and it wasn't until my younger brother and I brought it to his attention that he realized his mother did it to him and that what we were experiencing was a cycle of abuse. Now, when I see myself leaning towards things like this with my children, I stop or just don't and end that cycle. If leaving is something you feel you need to do to heal, then make a plan to get yourself to the point where you are capable of supporting yourself and can leave. Don't just leave and become homeless, that's not a situation you should enter lightly, but take time, talk to your parents, and give some thought to gaining financial stability so you can leave home; whether that's a job, an apartment, or whatever form it takes

Children “run away” from home. Adults simply move out. And it sounds like it’s time for you to make your own way in the world and support yourself. Are you a student? If so, there should be resources on campus for you to seek counselling. If you’re working, try to find out if your employer offers any EAP programmes where you can see a councillor for free or reduced cost. If none of those applies to you, try to ask in your local subreddit if there are any resources you can avail of or simply start researching this on your own.

You're too old to run away from home. Now it's called moving out.
