I first try to fully understand my true feelings and thoughts so I feel more confident and sure of myself when I communicate to someone else. I always try to be as open and honest as I can, communicating my true feelings, not what I think I should be feeling.

Telling someone of your feelings should never be seen as weak because you are voicing your concern or your trouble on what a situation is making you feel.

I could tell someone by making them clear about my feelings and how I choose to overcome it. I will try to be positive about it.

Be honest and show that you're serious about whatever it is that you're feeling. Showing honesty and seriousness will not make one look silly or weak.

The key is being assertive:
a)confident and direct in claiming one's rights or putting forward one's views.
If you don’t feel assertive, is ok, you don’t have to feel assertive, you can just -act- assertive, once I saw a conference where the speaker give the following advice to the audience: “fake it until you feel it, and then, you fake it until you become itâ€.
The speaker was speaking from her own experience, how she feel inadequate and clumsy but the fake it, until one day she feel capable.
To me is easier to imagine you are an actor, you are doing a representation, you create a character in your mind and you play that character, you played until you become it.

Expressing your feelings is never weak dear , even though it might feel so at the time . It's actually a very brave and good thing to do . Also the person you express them too will probably be very glad that you had the courage to tell them this , or at least that they can now better understand you . If you still worry they'll think you're weak though , you can try and keep the things as straightforward as possible and tell them exactly how you feel without adding or taking anything away from what you want to let them know . That might be helpful

Telling someone how you feel will never make you look weak, everyone has struggles and if you're telling friends or someone who you know cares about you, they won't judge you for your struggles

First find someone that you know you can really trust, sit them down and say that there have been somethings bothering you recently that you want to talk to them about because you trust them. Tell them whats on your mind and you guys can talk about it together :) I recently used this strategy with my best friend and she has been so understanding and kind listening to me! And I promise you your problems aren't silly or weak, and if you ever need someone to talk to feel free to message me :)

just say to them how you honestly feel towards them. they should respect how they feel about them and if they don't then maybe you should try finding someone else.

Telling someone about how you are feeling is a very brave thing to do. When you release your feelings verbally, you become vulnerable to the person listening, and allowing yourself to be vulnerable in front of other people is extremely courageous and brave, very much the opposite of weak or silly.
