Are your parents relatively good listeners and take u seriously when u bring up a sensitive issue related to urself?
#my parents keep trying to set me up with a friend.

they did once, when i asked for counseling, but most of the time they tend to forget or call me overdramatic.

Why do you think they do that?
I mean all of that
Both trying to set you up and disregarding your concerns

if i'm being honest, i don't really know.
it could be because they don't think i'm interested in anyone currently (i have a girlfriend, but they don't know), or maybe because they don't really care that i'm gay.
i try my best to be the perfect daughter, i work hard, i try to be pretty and clean, and i always pay attention to the rules and do things i hate just to make them happy. i just don't understand.

Well, i can share what it was in my experience, because i've seen something similar in my parents
It seems to me parents often really want to have grandchildren. I consider this to be a form of striving for immortality
Which leads them to either disregarding that you're gay, being in denial about it, not fully understanding what that entails or not trusting fully your judgement about yourself
There setting you up with someone could be a form of questioning your orientation or trying to get you to like boys
Or something along those lines
