How to come out to my parents?

branarbi 5/21/2021 09:29 am 883

I want to come out to my parents as nonbinary. I'm emotionally ready to, and I know that my parents will support me no matter what, so while i'm obviously worried cause it's a big change, i know it'll go okay and once i've actually come out i'll be so much happier. The only problem is that I'm just. terrible at communicating with people, i've almost managed to come out verbally to them 4 times, but always chickened out at the last second.
HOW DO I ACTUALLY TELL THEM???
Basically, tl;dr what the title says, any advice???

are you comfortable with writing a note?

@BuzzyBoy: i've actually tried writing one before, but i really don't know what to put in it. I've looked at templates online for advice, but they all seem super formal, which isn't really how i want to approach it.

I literally came out to my dad with a whAtever this thing is-

allow me to present to you my letter:

"dear dad,

first off, let's get one thing straight - i'm not."

and that was that.

the best way imo is to be blunt about it ! if you know they'll support you it will be easier to say it outright

Try saying that one of your friends are non-binary, if they don't know what that is, then explain it to them! See their reaction, and then if you want to/are comfortable enough, try say something like "I am too.". Hope this helps :], good luck bestie
