You will have to be honest with them and understand that the fear that you have does not necessarily mean you will look silly or weak.

I don't think that you will be weak for expressing your emotions. Maybe if you want to be subtle, try flirting a few times to see if they generate any response. If not, at least you can pass it off as banter or jokes. Good luck though:)

Your feelings are valid and no one can tell you that you are silly or weak for having those feelings. People might not understand where you're coming from and therefore might require more of an explanation but everything you feel is valid and it isn't okay for someone to tell you otherwise.

I would just be up front with my emotions. Worrying about looking silly or weak will make you hide the deep emotions you need to get out.

It's not easy telling others how we feel because we worry about how they will respond. It might help to remind yourself that, no matter what you are feeling, someone else has probably felt the same way at some point in their lives. It's hard to allow ourselves to be vulnerable and that is why being open to someone is not an at of weakness but really an act of courage. No matter how the other person responds, know that you did something good for yourself by being genuine.

Expressing how you are feeling does not make you weak in any sense. Actually, telling others how you are feeling takes a great amount of strength. I think it is important to remember that it is OKAY to look a little silly sometimes and that reaching out for support is nothing to be ashamed of.
