Recent grad, moved back home, I cry every night

...See more I just graduated college and have moved back into my childhood bedroom with my parents. I plan on staying here for a year to save up some money to live on my own, and then they’re moving out of state. My parents still work. My mom gets home before dinner time. My dad works from home but isn’t off until 9 every night. Around that time, my parents sit in the living room and watch shows. I try and go out there at night to visit with them but I also really value my alone time. I’ve been beating myself up and crying in my room at night because I feel like I should be out there with them but I can’t get myself to a lot of days. On top of that, during the weekends I’m usually hanging with my friends and that’s when they’re off. I feel like I’m neglecting my time with them but I also feel that since I’m 23, I need to have boundaries and my own life. I’m really confused and having a hard time coping because, as much as I hate to admit it, my parents are getting older, as they all do, and I don’t like seeing it happen. My parents seem happy that I’m here and haven’t complained but I feel this overwhelming sense of guilt. Does this make sense?
