I have been in some stress about telling something very important, i had everything planned(what to say, when, ...) i was all ready then all the hesitation came back

What to do?
Have you experienced something like this?

I think you should tell everyone as soon as possible. The sooner these people know about your secret the sooner they will become accepting, and you can grow together.

I experienced this hesitation before , kind of nervous to tell my family that I might not be completely straight :P

Good luck :):)

If you don't mind me asking, what's your secret? I might be able to advise how to word things. Depending on what it is of course.

If I'm wrong, this could be very embaressing, but are you transgender? Your name seems to suggest so...

It must really tough not being able to tell your friends the truth and it does feel better once things are out in the open. But at the same time, if you're this nervous about admitting this to them there must be some doubt in your mind about whether or not they'd be accepting of it.

My advice would be to play it gently. Ease into it, don't feel the need to it quick and speedy like ripping off a plaster. Introduce the idea slowly into conversation and see where it goes from there.

Best or luck. :)

My advice is that you shouldn't plan what you're going to say, that only makes things worse, believe me. Just start talking and see where it takes you.
I don't know who you're going to tell that secret, but if they are your friends you shouldn't worry, I bet they will accept it and understand, whatever it is.

Good luck :)

I quite often have trouble telling my parents about things. My biggest worry is that they'll stop trusting me, but the funny thing is, as long as I tell the truth they do trust me. I remind myself of that whenever I hesitate, and I remember that if they find out some other way, they'll be even more angry. so I can be pretty transparent with my parents, and my friends for that matter.
EDIT: just realized that you never specified them as your parents, sorry for assuming if I was incorrect.

The best way to say it: clearly, proudly, seriously, and without beating around the bush. Stuff like this, often parents will take it as just hormones or "a phase." You want to give them every bit of confidence and seriousness you can muster up, and just say it.

I've come out, twice. I came out as bisexual a while ago, and then I realized I was actually gay a month ago or so, so I'm in the process of having to take back the bisexual thing and still sound like this is seriously how I feel without it seeming like I didn't think about it when I first came out. The best thing, I just said it. The first time, I was really hesitating. But I just immediately said "I'm a lesbian," and they responded with "Okay." But it's not always that easy of course.
