Definition
倾诉 (qīngsù) means 'to pour out one's heart' — to confide deeply and emotionally, often at length. It is more deliberate and heartfelt than 吐 (tǔ), which can mean 'to spit out' feelings briefly or casually, like blurting something out. Use 倾诉 when you need a listener for a full, emotional sharing.
