I'm getting told that the fact I:
spend all my time on the internet talking to one person
spend all my time on the internet
spend all my time alone
refuse to get my licence
refuse to get a part-time job
have no friends
hate being around people
and refuse to go out places
is bad.
My parents are now trying to limit me on the internet thinking it will force me to go out and be friendly. It won't. And they keep mentioning a psychologist and are asking how I'm going to make a life if I am a recluse...
And they're suspicious of a knife they found in the bathroom (I didn't use it), and I don't know what they think of that. They've been acting funny since then...

It's a phase, dear! Hopefully, just a phase. I so suggest you go to a psychologist though! Just to talk to someone who knows how you feel. Also to confirm if you're suicidal or not.

They can do it anyway. You probably won't be risking very much if you go to the therapist. It would probably be a good thing if you weren't allowed to use the Internet for several reasons, anyway. It's not a good thing to think you Yes, think. Your life doesn't depend on some teenage slag in a chatroom.need something or someone so avidly. It only leads you to where you are now, and I'm sure you'll eventually realise what a total faggot you're being. I used to like you and think you were a pretty okay guy, but your insufferable helplessness and now cocky persona pisses me off. A lot. You're only making these problems for yourself. And trust me, whoever you're talking to isn't going to die if you stop talking to her. So listen to everybody here and go see a therapist or something. You don't have to change everything you listed in the OP, but just don't be such a prick about it.

The Way that can be experienced is not true;
The world that can be constructed is not real.
The Way manifests all that happens and may happen;
The world represents all that exists and may exist.
To experience without abstraction is to sense the world;
To experience with abstraction is to know the world.
These two experiences are indistinguishable;
Their construction differs but their effect is the same.
Beyond the gate of experience flows the Way,
Which is ever greater and more subtle than the world.

Fuck, at least get a job and contribute to society in some small way. It isn't all about *you* and *your* happiness. How happy do you think your parents feel when they see their child turning into a basement-dwelling parasite? People don't just put expectations on you to make your life miserable. They want you to actually contribute to the society that's so far basically given you a free ride.

Nope, you're a shut-in asshole. No doubt you're not very friendly with them. You take your angster out on them because you don't like them telling you how to live your life. You delude yourself to think that you're perfectly happy the way you are now and get angry at them for "judging" you or bossing you around regardless of your independent spirit. They are interested in your wellbeing. They want to help you. Your behaviour is worrisome and they're doing the right thing as parents. Just lighten up a bit.

Stop being a fucking dipshit and listen to what everyone in this thread and your parents are trying to tell you. I was also hesitant about going into therapy because I was worried that I wouldn't want to hear the happy hippie bullshit that counselors stereotypically spew, but once I did it, I wished I had done it four years earlier. Plus, it's free and you have absolutely nothing to lose.
Also, even if you don't like what he/she has to say, and you don't want to change your life, too bad. You're going through a phase in your life where you don't want to grow up and you think your parents are just going to take care of you forever, but like it or not, you are going to grow up, your life is going to change, your parents aren't going to let you leech off them forever, you're going to have to get a job and/or go to college and get off the internet and do things like normal adults do whether you like it or not. In short, no one cares how happy you think you are. Your lifestyle and attitude and outlook on life are not healthy and it needs to change even if that change is painful and unpleasant because that's part of life. Either do it now and get it out of the way because otherwise you're going to have to do it several years from now after you've already fucked up a lot of shit in your life and it will be that much more painful.

If so, either tell them to get fucked or say "I'm going out with so and so" and in fact go to an Internet cafe and enjoy your peace.

That's like telling a heroin addict that as long as they're happy, there's nothing wrong with their lifestyle.
