My parents (55m)(50F) are planning on moving across the state. I(25M) don't want to, they're shaming & guilt tripping me about it.

Hello everyone.

My parents have been habitually unhappy with my small home town my whole life. They've decided recently they want to quit their tenured jobs and move 6 hours away, for this will be their retirement home.

They've always been there for me. I had to move back in with them 2 years ago after me and my ex split. They've offered me a room and everything down there with them. But that's the thing, I'd still be living with them. It's just a bust to my confidence and I have very little hope and self esteem when it comes to living alone.

I told them I do not want to go. My mom flies off in anger saying I won't be able to afford living by myself and how could I choose friends over family.

Reddit, I can't do it anymore. I'm too old and stuff to be here or go with them. It really pains me to write this because I feel so guilty because I do love them but I haven't in any way been pushed out of the nest. I will have zero confidence in living on my own and it's because they guarantee my failure.

What should I do?

Tl;Dr: parents are moving across the state. I don't want to go. They're taking it personally and projecting failure and doubt on my living alone. Help Reddit.
