Hello. I’m 22 (F) and have almost no friends. I want to travel to the town 8 hours of me and make solo trip (2 days). I told plans to my parents and know what to do there but they don’t support me at that. I’m frustrated because in my town have no interesting activities and my peers are making trips across Europe and enjoy their time. I don’t have luck in friendships and in relationships in general so that’s why I’m gonna do it but my parents always control me and I don’t believe they would leave me go somewhere. What to tell them to get their trust? I want only to make some good memories.

Unless you know they not gonna kick you out just pack up and leave. I’m 27 and my mom tried to tell me I couldn’t leave the house at 1am. I left and came back the next day. But def go on those solo trips I started doing that 2 years ago and I love it
At 22 years old it’s more of a notice that you’re going on this trip, you don’t need their permission or support anymore to travel solo. If they are concerned for your safety being a young woman traveling alone, make a point to text them every evening to let them know you are in for the night.
Really though, it sounds like the control of your parents could hinder your ability to grow as a person and develop relationships with others. Let them know you still love them, but it’s time you started to live the life you want to live.
Have fun on your trip and be safe!
