its natural for your parents to want to protect you but speak out! sit them down and tell them your not comfortable with them stopping your relationships. If things get totally unbearable you might have to move out to get your own space. My recommendation is that you get yourself a good paying job and gather up some money so if the worst comes to the worst you will be able to move out. Hopefully though, your parents will understand how you feel about them. Hope everything goes well! :)
