It really helps to think through what you'll say to different people in your life, so you don't get caught off guard.  We recommend dividing the people in your life into three different categories and preparing responses for each of them when you feel ready to start sharing your news: People that you love and trust such as close friends and family or your inner circle People you don't feel comfortable opening up to - such as acquaintances, or newer friends  Nosy judgemental people who wont take a 'no' for an answer
