Ive only come out to one person and it went incrediably badly but fear of peoples reactions is understandable and i wouldn't let that scare you off of trying. I just said something along the lines of; 'there is something i need to tell you and i want to tell you because i love you as a friend and i feel you deserve to hear the truth that i myself know and accept...' Theres no easy way of telling someone but i think if your ready to do so, the quicker you get it over with the better. At least then its not playing on your mind and your free to just carry on living life...Good luck and remember you have a friend in me
