You must say it straight, the way it is. You can't look silly or weak just by admitting your feelings. Perhaps you'll even look brave for saying it in it's actuality.

It can be really scary to share how you're feeling with people, and its important that you feel ready and that you're not being pressured into talking about something you're not ready to talk about yet. If you are ready to talk about it, try talking to someone you know well, and trust. There are also a lot of listeners on this website if you'd like to talk.

Well, sometimes, we do have the liberty to be silly or weak, and there is nothing wrong in it. Yet if you still feel conscious, exude happiness along with silly or weak, not many know the difference

There are so many ways... Try to figure out what your beloved like to do, and suprise him/her. And when you see that everything is going well, just tell what is going on your mind. Sometimes being spontaneous is much better than thinking to much about making the moment perfect.

The biggest factor comes down to the ability to be real. It's about taking the mask off and saying what's really in your heart instead of making vague statements that don't allow others to really understand what you are feeling. Most people respect honesty and aren't going to judge you for expressing how you really feel.

You can present your feelings as something you are experiencing right now: "I am feeling angry". You can add some distance to those feelings if necessary by saying how you feel about those emotions: "I wish I could let go of my anger, but I'm having trouble with that right now". If you treat yourself and your feelings without judgment and accept that you are human and cannot necessarily always control your feelings, you can be kind to yourself. That attitude can be "contagious" and help other people see you kindly and with respect. If they don't - that's not your fault!

Depending on who you're talking to, I would just stay calm, take a deep breath, and do it. Honestly, if they're someone who you talk to regularly and you want to tell them how you feel, you shouldn't feel silly or weak because they should be understanding if they're really someone who you care about and want to be in your life.

having feelings about something or someone doesn't make you weak, it just makes you human. Don't hide your feelings. In todays world, people think that hiding feelings will make you strong but it doesn't.

Nobody can really tell you what to say or how to feel. However if you allow yourself to be prepared with the things you want to say, in the end you may feel better about the situation and what you want to say.

Write them a letter or send them a text telling them how you feel! You will not be weak nor silly in telling someone how you feel.
