Well it's always nice to know more of yourself. Anyway as for wanting to tell someone, uhm first, how homophobic is the area where you live? If you are not sure about such I would be wary when trying to brush upon such a topic for in some cases ,for people, if they knew their friend was into the same sex they would rather break off the friendship completely than to just accept or at least are unable to see their friend the same way while in a more friendly case, there are also people whom don't care and will see you as the same person they became friends with. If anything you could always ask, "Hello, I am curious but what are your views upon homosexuals? "Or rather " Wow, did you hear about the the president of the United States of America actually supports gay people? " Take note of their first expressions for we tend to show the true feelings we have upon the topic before we relax and calm down a bit,anyway so you can get a better uh assumption to how they think of such before you risk telling them everything and possibly get denied. As for telling friends you have already, I find that sitting down with them, in a place that isn't so crowded,secluded/private, would be a good time to tell them for be it they may give a bad reaction at least nobody else will see it or rather you can talk it out much more than say if it were a crowded place in which they, as in your friend,could seek a different topic that isn't bothersome to them as a distraction and abruptly end your meeting with them. Also since there are less distractions you are more likely able to say what you want to say to them and(!) going back to the it being private, if they are angered, since there are less distractions, less to no people in which they can run to to go back to their comfort zone, they will more than likely,with some time, as they cool off, be able to realize that it isn't so bad, that how they reacted was a bit much and unnecessary.

As for your last sentence there is no reason to be upset with yourself. If you keep beating yourself down it will just make it seem like life is just getting worse for you. Best of luck to you! I hope everything turns out swell for you and all, take care! Once again best of luck and take care!
