How can I express my feelings to a friend?

I'm struggling to tell my friend how I really feel about them. Any advice?

It's great that you want to express your feelings! Start by finding a comfortable setting where you both can talk openly.

What if they don't feel the same way?

That's a valid concern. Remember, it's important to be honest about your feelings, regardless of the outcome. You can say something like, 'I value our friendship and wanted to share how I feel.'

How can I make sure I don't come off too strong?

You can approach the conversation gently. Use 'I' statements to express your feelings, like 'I feel...' instead of 'You make me feel...'. This keeps the focus on your feelings.

Thanks! Any tips on how to handle their response?

Be prepared for any reaction. Listen actively and respect their feelings. If they need time to process, give them space.
