I have done lots of searching, but I can't seem to find anyone else asking a question similar to mine. My parents are super accepting people and I know for certain that they will be totally fine with me being gay. But I'm still really anxious about it. I think about how uncomfortable I would be in that situation and I also have no idea how to initiate a conversation like that since I never talk to my parents about things that are so personal. I know that they would get emotional and make a really big deal about it, which I don't want. Does anyone have any advice or suggestions for me? Thanks in advance. (Sidenote: I am incredibly thankful to be in a family like this and hope I'm not coming off as ungrateful.)
I can relate to this massively, my parents are super accepting but I just feel anxious about it, and like you I don't really like to talk to them about personal things. It's an irrational fear, but I can't help it. I don't really have any advice as I'm in the same boat as you, so sorry in that respect.
^_^ Congrats on having accepting parents! I also was certain my mother was accepting of trans people, but I was still super nervous about coming out, and in the end, I was the one who ended up crying when I sat her down and discussed it. XD What I did personally, because I couldn't even get the words out, was write down on a piece of paper what I felt and I tried to explain it as best as I could. I handed it to her, then I walked from the room and waited upstairs until she called me down. XD I was really nervous and bawling like crazy, but yeah, we talked for a bit and ended up hugging. ^_^ Trust me, if your parents are accepting, there should be no reason for you to regret coming out to them: It will left a lot of stress off of your shoulders.
