How do you?

How do you tell somebody something really important about yourself, when you're afraid of their reaction?

Well, first I try to figure out how much of that fear actually relates to the person in question, and how much is just me being afraid. Then I try to consider what the worst reactions might be, as realistically as possible-- generally I realize that the worst is bearable, and not the likeliest reaction. But it's never easy... I hope you get the best possible reaction.
