I am also a millennial, I'm not nonbinary, but I have four nonbinary friends. All of which are millennials. Two of them I have known for many, many years, they came to that realization recently. I got to go to Pride with those two recently, as the lone binary female there. :D
My point being there are nonbinary millennials and you shouldn't be worried about that!
As for your parents, I'm sorry about that. I don't know what to say because I, too, hid myself for many, many years as to not upset my parents. And my parents were fairly liberal as I was growing up (are now much moreso), just weren't up to date on these LGBT matters. Caused lots of strife for many years, where I kept almost entirely silent. *sigh*
Thank you for your kind words.
I don't feel actively guilty for thinking I could be NB, but I do have a lot of internalised guilt for various reasons, some relating to my gender identity, others not. I also have a tendency to mentally beat myself up for not doing things differently, and for yielding to family pressure rather than having the courage to go my own way. For example, I turned 40 in June and am just now in the process of getting my own place (my solicitor needs to hurry up!) and I think I would be mentally healthier if I had gone down that route much earlier. There are many reasons why I didn't, such as the high cost of property in my area, my working situation, and worrying about whether I could move my cats (RIP to my beautiful kitties). But maybe having my own space at last will help me to be more myself.
