It is a very scary thing to put it all out there. You might get laughed at. Then she tells her friends and you get laughed at by everyone.

I usually let my feelings known. If she responds positively, great. If she pulls away, well then I know.

Win some, loose some.

I hope you find what you're looking for, just go ahead and tell the guy.

Good luck.

Scared of rejection or being embarrassed those are first things that pop into my head

[Joshydavid25]

Yeah, basically fear of losing the very thing they desire, even if they don't really have it..

[i_Jedi]

Because rejection feels like jumping off a cliff without knowing if there’s a net. People would rather stay quiet than risk that sting, even if staying quiet hurts too.

害怕被拒绝：这是最常见的原因之一。被喜欢的人拒绝会让人深感痛苦、尴尬和失望，甚至会影响你的自信心。
害怕打破现状：坦白自己的感受会破坏现有的关系，无论是与朋友、同事还是其他人的关系。人们可能会担心，即使没有被拒绝，坦白自己的感受也会导致关系变得尴尬或疏远，甚至导致关系的破裂。

Rejection, being hurt, being made fun of and the vulnerability that comes with confessing.

Accountability. Most people are afraid of consequences unless their either do not or feel there won't be any for them.

[RingOfFire]

You mean some people have feelings?

😮

Who knew? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[JamesMillerOwl]

I think it's because they are afraid of rejection.

[Anonymous]

It’s been used against me more often than not
Not Afraid just not worth the aftermath
I’m not limiting my answer to feeling for someone just thoughts and feelings in general

[Mangospacho]

It might not be a good idea depending on what crime or crimes you’re being charged with.

For example:

Once I told a girl that I love her, but it was unrequited love, and she was furious at me.

[queenofcardio]

The fear of rejection. I don't bother unless I'm sure he feels the same way too.

[Guanfei]

Last time I confessed, I lost a dear friend. So thanks but no, thanks.

[Anonymous]

Because if you have to deal with that person on the regular you risk the "creep" reputation if you don't do it right

[Anonymous]

Thanks to “me too” it’ll be sexual harassment
