Being emotionally strong and open takes courage. Be brave and just say whats on your mind. If you don't get the desired reply it's not because you look weak, it's because they do not know how to deal with your honesty.

Telling someone how you're feeling can be the strongest thing you ever do. Talking about your emotions requires a great amount of vulnerability, which takes a lot of courage. Just be honest with yourself and with the person listening to you, and you'll do great.

Being honest should never be viewed as a sign of weakness or looking silly. It takes a lot of courage to tell someone else how you feel, and anyone worth your time will respect you for doing so!

Well, showing vulnerability can be scary, because we live in a culture where the emotional is considered weak. That culture is misguided. There is no way to tell someone how you are feeling without looking silly or weak, simply because when you talk about your feelings, you are NEVER silly or weak. You are just a human being, strong and self aware enough to know that they need to share and decompress.

It usually helps to try and tell them you feel a little silly/weak before you open up. Like "Hey! I feel silly telling you this, but I feel...."

Its tough, we put a lot of pressure on yourself when we have expectations on how a situation should go. We have to remember not to jump to conclusions on our people can respond or view us.

Ask yourself if it's worth saying. If it is, then it's worth looking silly or weak. You are a lion.

There shouldn't be any fear in telling someone how you're feeling, it doesn't make you silly or weak, if anything it makes you look more mature and more proud of who you are and what you're feeling

When it comes to telling someone how you're feeling, I don't think you should beat around the bush or make him or her guess. Chances are, if you're honest and upfront with them, it's more beneficial.

You just have to tell what you feel. What you feel is important and you want a supporter for that. When the other thinks you're silly or weak, that's their problem.
