Love and not wanting to show it, accepting your weaknesses allows you to overcome them and grow stronger.
Pretending that you are strong is really saying that you are weak.

loving and not wanting to show it because you think it makes you weaker is like telling an old friend not to visit you because you will cry when they go home. If you are going to love then love deep and true, If you get wounded then dress your wounds and love more deep and more true next time. A broken soft heart and a wise mind can produce a relationship thought only to exist in fairy tales.

Loving is like drowning; have you ever went swimming and almost drowned? or maybe you just got some water in your nose and it burned. But the thing is, swimming has so many benefits, it is good exercise, it is relaxing, and can be very fun. But if you have ever almost drown you might be scared to go swimming again, or maybe just more cautious, which you always should be, but more cautious than what is probably needed. Maybe you do not want to just jump right back in again and just sit and watch everybody else have fun. Maybe you will go swimming again but choose to wear a life jacket, but that will never be as fun because partly why swimming is fun is because you feel weightless and free. when you are ready to go back into the water, maybe it seems too cold and you want to work your way in slowly, like you will first put your feet in and slowly work your body in, but won't dunk your head. Maybe you will get used to the water even more and will finally plug your nose and dunk under, but regardless, you will end up wet in the end, it will just take longer. Love doesn't make you weak, it makes you strong. In order to really experience love to a deeper level, you have to get water in your nose or you will never appreciate the good. If you do not ever swim, yes you won't get water in your nose, but you will never experience the good in it either.

Maybe it depends on what you love. There is not much use throwing love to the dogs it is just a waste of emotion. It is weak to let love take over your life to the extent you lose your sanity and self respect. It is weak to not be brave enough to admit you love someone and let them slip away. It is not weak to try and maintain a certain amount of indifference until you find out whether or not they feel the same way.

they both weaken you to a degree........LOVE by itself can bend you at the knee's but in a good way. It also can make you strong, but to deni your feelings and try to convince yourself as well as someone else is truly the weakest. Think of the wasted energy that it takes leaving you nothing to enjoy. Not to mention your selling yourself short of happiness. I think the question should be what makes you stronger. Love by for can hurt but also make you stronger. To love but not really allow yourself the benefits by denial some may think is smart but it only leaves you weak and lonely. It would be ashamed to let someone wonderful walk out of your life when they could have been the best thing for you and you wouldn't even know it because of being to stubborn to allow them into your world.

Lets see if I can get this out the right way.
First, love or the concept of it, is an extremely complex issue.In your reference to the word love one would have to consider ones own simple and honest conclusions as well as conscious absolutes,in order to filter away negative or relative assumptions,But in this case ill assume a healthy mind is present.
love is in no form a passive emotion,a healthy love is shown in discipline,sacrifice,selflessness,humility,consistency,redemption and remorse, non of witch i can say are attributes of weakness.
I believe anyone who questions or entertains the idea that genuine love has the potential to weaken the mind,or in any manner of speaking hinder any form of power or strength has an issue of psychological balance and emotional unawareness.
but that's just me....

it depends. I think people who are too open with their emotions are weak. But so are those who are too cold to deal with there emotions. There needs to be a middle ground of sensibleness there. You can be in love but not googoo (because well thats just annoying to some people).There are ways of showing your love without being needy and obsessive. I think the strongest is the middle ground between too much affection and none at all.

Love does not make you weak.
On the contrary... It does make you strong.
You cannot hide your love for someone
If you can, you don't love that person.
You are just a little manipulative weasel.
I think you are asking that question because you are scare that your love will not be returned and you will get hurt.
Love does make you strong when it is reciprocal.
Love makes you weak when it is not returned.

Neither. Denying yourself to love makes you weaker.

Loving makes me strong.
Its easy to be angry, determined, goal orientated, and cold. When I give of myself and do my family and others I get their strength back. I sometimes think of every aspect of my life from the value of my resources. Kinda like the Verizon commercial where the guy has the whole Network behind him to back him up.
Can you hear me now?
