SOOO for context cuz this is gonna be a long one i live as an only child who’s Hispanic and my parents are both lets just say helicoptery? My dad is also absent in a way. Anyways w that I proceed to my feelings.
I feel like I’m trapped. I’ve been bouncing between trans (ftm) and non binary but I just umbrella it as genderfluid cuz idk what I’m doing- and I’ve only come out to my school counselor and my guy best friend whom lives in another state- now I can’t come out to my family for obvious reasons and I don’t have any support system since I’m not in school rn cuz summer so no school counselor and I’m kind of scared if they go through my phone and see my messages of me being out to said best friend- I am also pan which adds to the levels of anxiety bc I currently really like this person (who’s gender queer btw) and I don’t have a way to see them in person since again not in school atm so I just don’t know what to do with myself I’m constantly frustrated and isolate in my room because that way I don’t have to mask who I am but then my parents get upset and make snarky comments the rare occasions where I do leave my room- another thing that doesn’t help is my other friends that I could theoretically come out to I can’t be around them without my parents being there or at least one of them because as mentioned previously helicoptery parents- so now I just sit here frustrated and this has severely triggered my depression and anxiety levels as well as insomnia the more I go on feeling trapped-

Try skipping an LGBTQ+ topic into casual conversation and see how they react. If they react badly, you can just say you overheard someone talking about it. If they react well, you can figure out how to come out to them.
