As a non-binary person myself, I would just ask your closest family member/friend to start using your preferred pronouns. Then later, you should just tell them who you are. They may respond negatively, but that's okay because in the end you'll be much happier to get it off your chest!

I would honestly say that I would ask my parents to not call me he or her but them or they. And explain why.

That's a personal choice! Come out however is best for you, and to whoever is best for you. You need to take care of yourself and that might mean coming out slowly to a few people in a way you're comfortable with,

I think it's important to expose whomever you want to come out to to what being nonbinary is first, as a lot of people don't know what it is. But one thing that I always recommend is writing a letter, that way if things don't work out that well, you won't necessarily be right there

This is very tough to do obviously, but the best way is to have a lot of resources to show people who want to learn more, and try having a way to explain it to people who've never heard of it before.

Be truthful, open and honest. Explain and educate - what is different, how will this change things, and what will remain the same? Tell them your reasoning and need for this change.

I feel like the best way to come out as nonbinary is to one, correct the person your coming out to when they call you your physical genders pronouns. Tell them you are they/them. They'll start asking questions. I would answer them then.

Be honest. I would first start by reaching out and talking to someone who has been in a similar situation or confiding in a close friend or family member. When you speak it out loud to someone once, you begin to get a feel for how it sounds and what you are trying to convey.

Sit down with whomever you wish to come out to and tell them in a relaxed, nonchalant way. If they have questions about your identity, answer them respectfully. It might feel like there is a lot of pressure when you are coming out, but sometimes it is best to be calm in situations like these. If you would like for them to use a different name/different pronouns, tell them so clearly and respectfully.

Take your time, don't stress. You can tell some of your closest people, let it show naturally, write a letter, get someone else to tell people, or cover it up in other similar ways.
