You don’t unless you’re able to leave the house, cause that’s just dangerous if you do it while you’re there and they’re like that.

Don't until you feel safe, if you feel your parents won't feel supportive, I recommend to not do it, but I can't control what you do, just stay safe

I'm also in the same situation - mine are also very conservative which adds onto my stress. I'm basically repeating what everyone else has said about laying low for now until you can support yourself to move out. In saying that, once you move out you can actually "secretly" date until you feel comfortable to come out to them by saying (assuming it's about sexuality as I'll be talking about it here but gender identity works too) "hey Im together with this person" rather than coming out straight off the bat. I havent actually done it myself but that's generally the advice that most lgbt+ people have given me since like, what're they actually gonna do realistically now that you've moved out?

#

I also recommend that once you take that leap is to find the right people who can support you with this kind of stuff - both before and after moving out as that'll help you feel safe and supported for the long term

My parents aren’t abusive it’s just it’s a ‘sin’ in my religion to them. They love me very much, just wondering
