i act really tough, but on the inside i'm really not. how do i let others in on that without appearing weak?

this is a pretty common problem for a lot of people including myself, so i'll tell you what i did/do. first off, i wouldnt just say that outloud, unless you talking to a bf/gf and/or a close friend. people may misunderstand you and think you're just saying that to get attention and think you dont mean it. show your depth in the details. for example. when hanging out with friends, just pause and look up at the sky. when they ask what you're doing, say, "nothing. i just like the clouds [or color of the sky if theres no clouds]".i'm not saying it has to be that specific quote. that was just an example. but small pauses to say something deep can show people that there's more to you then your rough exterior. something as simple as that can show you light and deep side with out sounding weak. leave a comment if you'd like and i really hope this helped!
