Sit down with them. Say you have to tell something about yourself. Have them be a trusted friend and don't hold back. Try not to laugh, don't wave your problems off.

Be confident in what you're saying. Even if that's not how you feel at all on the inside, just act confident and it will come out much better.

Most people are understanding of feelings! Find someone that you can really trust...and not just trust a little bit, but I mean REALLY REALLY trust, like a close friend, boyfriend/girlfriend, or a close family member, and tell them whatever you're feeling. I promise that they won't judge you, and having feelings is a normal thing! It's nothing to feel silly about, everyone has them! :)

You shouldn't feel silly or weak when discussing your feelings, everyone has them, and everyone should be entitled to speaking on them.

Yes, never be afraid to tell someone how you feel, people don't thing you're weak or silly for having feelings, it's a natural part of life.

You never look weak or silly telling someone how you're feeling. You're using strength to get up enough courage to tell someone and ask for help. Be proud of yourself!

Just be honest with them and tell them. Telling someone how you feel doesn't make you silly or weak you are opening up to someone about how you feel and there is nothing wrong with that. Telling them may be hard but just tell them that you need to speak with them and that its important then go for it.

Often, sharing emotions can have yourself feeling vulnerable and scared. Examine why that particular feeling makes you feel "silly" or "weak." Once you understand why, whether it be social pressures or bad experiences--learn to own your relationship. Convince yourself that you deserve to feel whatever it is you feel--sadness, love, anxiety, etc. Once you own and respect how you feel--then you can articulate your emotions with out fear of reprisal. You deserve to feel whatever your heart feels--it's yours and it's beautiful!

Looking silly or weak is actually a farce. Showing your truth is an exceptionally brave and compassionate thing to do. It not only helps you grow as a person, but allows those around you to grow, as well. You being strong and open creates others around you to also be strong and open. There is never weakness in honesty.

Write them a letter or just look down while saying how you feel. Writing a letter is a better choice if you feel really anxious to even say it while looking down.
