You need to find someone that you know for sure that would be there for you and simply admit that you have something that bothers you and then proceed to a more specific description of your struggle.

Don't talk to several people at once. Also, make sure that the other person knows you're serious. Maybe tell them directly and not only throw hints at them. Be clear what you want and they'll take you seriously.

By expressing them in an objective, truthful, and respectful way. People may not take seriously those that are in emotional distress at the time, because people tend to exaggerate when they're upset. And if you're being calm and objective, and they still don't take it seriously, then they're not really there for you.

Stating your needs should always be taken seriously. But if they are not taking your needs seriously, keep communicating because if you stop then you can't expect things to ever change.

Expressing needs to others is a very important step in self-help. Often times, I've found if you go to a generally calm atmosphere and explain to whomever you may be addressing that you need a little help or have a certain way you would like something handled, they will respect that and work with you.
