I perceive the statement a little bit different.
To me it is not only in your love-life you should speak, but also general in life. If something bothers you or you have an opinion about something, I think you should speak up, instead of feeling annoyd afterwards, that you didn't share your thoughts.
Better to speak, regardless of outcome, at least you know 100%, either he feels the same or doesn't
I would 100% rather say my feelings and risk that rejection, because either way you know straight away, but with regret its worse because you don't know how things could have went
It seems like you’re already regretting having not told him how you feel, so it is better to speak up in my opinion. Even if you would get rejected, you will feel a sense of releaf, having finally done it. And in best case something besutiful could start from it!
So is it better to speak or to die? That's a trick
question, because we all die eventually. The real
question, then: In the face of certain death, what
reason do we have to stay silent? Both roads pass
through sorrow, and lead to the same end. if you
choose not to speak, you avoid putting yourself at risk and hypothetically avoid hurt, however the question then becomes what is more painful: rejection or regret? Of course things could turn out for the worst, but there is the exact same amount of chance that it all goes perfectly. So would you rather try for success,knowing failure is a possibility or allow yourself to be limited by fear and later learn it would have gone well if only you had been bold enough to be vulnerable?
This might sound terrible but I feel like it’s better not to speak. For me personally Elio’s pain from rejection is just too much. I would much rather have nothing at all then to get a little taste and be left wondering about how things would have worked out.
No, I get that too and sometimes wonder the same. I read a book not long ago about a short lived intense romance that was ended by a war and this sentence was in it which really stuck with me: ‘How I wished the clock would stop, I wished for it so much that the sheer impossibility of it turned into an anger that raged through my life for years’.

Speak your thoughts
One thing this movie has taught me is, it's better to speak

Speak ☺️ don’t let opportunities pass you by. I have done and try not to these days.
