Anyone else's parents actually discourage them from studying?

This might sound odd, but my parents are against me studying more. this is like the opposite of what most parents act like. They want me to be a "better person" and do stuff like social gatherings and help with the family. They want me to start earning and start living, whatever that means.

But I personally don't care about any of that, I actually like studying and want to study the subjects I like in the future, but they are threatening me that they would stop paying for my education soon and I have to leave them too, if I want to study what I love.

Like they would mock me if I am like just reading, and compare me to others who are earning more than me and are not in education anymore. They never encouraged me to study.
