EditSteps

1First of all, think if the secret really must be disclosed. After all, some things better stay unsaid.Ad

2If you are sure, then think in what way your action will influence the person in front of you. Is the secret about someone close to them? Could it have a negative impact? If so, think again. Maybe you shouldn't say anything.

4Ask them not to tell anyone, this is a secret after all.

EditTips
- Do not speak in very loud voice if you're at a public place. You don't want others to hear anything, do you?
- Provided the secret is of minimal importance, most of the above steps do not apply.
EditWarnings
- If revealing something big, consider the possibility that they are not ready to hear what you have to say. After all, there is a reason you have kept the secret as long as you have.
- Always think twice before disclosing a secret! Remember that someone has trusted you and told you the secret.
- Don't disclose other people's secrets to make fun of them or to get them into trouble! It's both immature and silly!
