Something that often bothers me is that I've spent a large portion of my childhood and all of my adult life (I'm 19) alone in my room on the computer but my parents have never seemed concerned about it. Do they just not care? Don't they understand that's incredibly unhealthy behaviour? Why haven't they ever spoken to me about it? Why haven't they ever asked if anything is wrong? Why didn't they try to prevent me from doing it so I'd lead a more normal life? In school I was always a troublemaker, I just wanted to be cool and have friends didn't really care about anything else. Why didn't they ever try to steer me in the right direction? Why didn't they ever voice concern for my behaviour?
I really don't know how to get over this. I cry when I think about it too much. Sometimes when I'm with my dad I'll get angry at him about it but I've no idea how to bring it up. It seems it'd be weird for me to just come out with this shit one day.
How do I get over it?

I know but I can't get over it

A lot of parents are even malicious but rather simply have no idea how to be parents. Yours sound like they didn't even try though yeah.
I was a complete shut in but my mum would bring it up every few months. I got in fights at school but my dad didn't say shit because he did worse

As long as you recognize your issues now, strive to improve yourself.

Some parents want you to live your own life without interfering too much, if you want your parents to take more of an interest in you then just talk to them about it. If you can see that something in your life is a problem then you should do something to change it, the longer you leave it the worse it will get.

I kinda know how you feel OP. I spent so much of my childhood and adolescence just holed up in my room smoking weed and/or watching porn. My parents never really pushed me to do much and never tried to guide me outside of the general advice of "stay in school, do your homework, stay out of jail, and don't get a girl pregnant." It would have been if they pushed me a little bit harder to get a job in high school or to go get my driver's license or to try and meet girls, but my mom always kind of resented me for how much like my dad I am and my dad was more interested in my older brother than he was me.
I know how weird it can feel to wanna bring this stuff up with them but not have any way to go about it without the dynamic in the relationship changing. It helped me to cut my parents out of my life once I moved out but that's not something I would recommend.
