How can I tell someone how I'm feeling without looking silly or weak?

You can tell someone anything. You just have to look for the right person. Parents are especially great to talk to.

I like to make a joke out of it. I put it out there a little bit at a time & see how they respond. Also if someone else says something similar it's a great way to help reassure them they're not alone & vent yourself

just tell them honestly tell them how long you have been feeling this way and why tell them that you are scared of telling them that you don't want to seem weak

It takes more courage and strength to speak your mind and open up with your feelings than it does to hide them.

The most important thing is to reflect on what you're feeling yourself -- that way, you know what you feel is as real as anything else. Confide in someone you trust first. I know talking about your feelings sounds scary, but people are nice, promise. Just be confident!

You can do so by being honest. And honesty isn't weak nor silly. One way could be to go straight to that person and say how things are.

showing your feelings is never silly or weak, if people really care about you, and im sure they do! they will understand no matter what, we've all been there sometime!

Honestly , try talking to them in private , be confident and be honest then they wontmake fun of you

You're better off just being straight up about it. Simply- "Look, i really like you. We should hang out some time?". That will show them you have confidence.

First of all, if you're telling someone you trust and someone who cares for you how you feel, then you won't ever come off as silly or weak. Having feelings and opening up about it doesn't mean you're silly or weak. For me, it means that you are strong--strong enough to acknowledge how you really feel, and strong enough to talk about it and process it with the help of another person. It means you are strong to be true to yourself. You can start by asking if it's okay if you share with them how you feel. Of course, if you are talking to a friend, they'll say yes and listen to you. You can be totally honest with them and they won't ever see it as a sign of weakness. :)
