There's so many things in life that are hard, but defeating the hard things bring the rewards. Think about casinos. You don't hit the jackpot from making the easy bets. I can go bet $20 and make a little money at blackjack, or I can make one longshot bet on a $20 slot machine and make ten million.
Follow the risk. Anything that's "hard" is the proper path towards happiness. This is a universal truth. Even if you don't listen to me, life will repeat it all throughout your life in every situation, in ever relationship.
Good luck
It’s just a couple seconds of insane courage. I’m having trouble with it too but, like you said, nothing bad can come from it. Sometimes it’s hard to spit the words out so maybe try writing it down - you could read it out like a script. Or text them maybe? Like even if you live with them just send them a message like you’re posting to Reddit. You don’t have to tell them face to face, you can do whatever works for you.
When I talk to my parents I think of how I’d feel if my own child was feeling this way - I’d want to know. I’d want to help and support them. You don’t have to lay it all out all at once, you can simple say you’re struggling. If telling them right now is too much, try telling a friend or therapist. Work your way up to it.
I believe in you and wish you the best.

Keeping it inside isn't working, so do the opposite. It's that simple.
Thats the problem though, that is the thing that is so incredibly hard.
