I'm ok though to lock myself in a room with my laptop though? Then ask me to fix their computer to "earn my money", yet wouldn't that be anti-social as well? Wtaf?
And they talk to me about being anti social with a laptop when they are GLUED to the TV screen watching all sorts of things and then spying on their neighbors. How in the? My mind hurts, and I just feel like running away *again*, because why suffer under some of the most illogical rules that make no sense, and taking away my life? What they don't realize is, I work on my laptop to earn money as well via my YouTube channel. I edit videos, I script them, find source material, etc. But totally anti-social and they think it's unhealthy. I am doing something to earn money, they are watching TV to kill time until.....well I guess until they pass. Sad as it is, that's really what they are doing.
But I'm totally in the wrong here. I'm tired of illogical thinking, it makes not only no sense whatsoever, it is the reason I have been kicked out of two locations now, because I seem to be the only one with logical though, except my mother. My mother lives with her parents as well, so my mother is in this house as well, and SHE can't stand it either and plans to possibly get an apartment once she can, so we both can just escape. She doesn't like my old TV collection either, but at least she understands why I do it, and doesn't tell me *no*.

Unfortunately for you, your grandparents' rules don't have to be logical. It is their home, and they can come up with any crazy shit they want.
I highly recommend leaving the TV collection behind, considering it a total loss, and trying to become independent first. There are more televisions out there where your sets came from, but if your situation deteriorates much further in the short term, it could be difficult to dig yourself out of long term. Start by looking for work, any sort of work. There is plenty of work that isn't terribly taxing physically for anyone willing to put in the effort. The unemployment rate is the lowest it has been since what, the 1950s? WWII perhaps? Put yourself out there and try to find something, and soon.
