I haven't really come out to anyone besides my best friend. She is great about it! My concerns now revolve me telling my parents because I feel like they deserve to know next. The reason I'm so nervous is because they think this way of me right now but I feel like once I tell them, the way they think about me and their own happiness will be different in a bad way. I know they will still love me and be there for me but I just feel like they will be different around me, and I can't really explain how but I just feel like they might. Also I just don't want them to be unhappy the rest of their lives because at this point in their lives, I'm what they think/talk about at their age (not that they don't have lives, but i feel like once you become parents, your life starts to revolve around your children more and more). I don't want to change anything. How do I convince myself that they will accept me and not change in a way I don't want them to. I need some motivation to come out to them somehow.
I am in a very similar situation. Im out to 2 friends, and want to come out to my parents. It think what you are experiencing is the main fear of coming out: what if they see me differently? I think you really just have to plan things out and think of a time where you are all on good terms and they are in a good mood. Don't rush anything, and don't come out until your ready, but at the same time don't stay in forever. I am in the same situation, and its tough, but staying in the closet is tougher.
