This fear of trying extends to overtures of affection. I don’t just mean sex; I mean looking someone in the eye and saying why you are in it to win it with that person. Why you want to share this life with the person. Our ego gets in the way and tells us that we’ll look cheesy at best and at worst, the affection will not be returned. No one wants to experience the emotional version of being left hanging in a high-five. But trust me, if you put yourself out there, chances are, your feelings will be reciprocated, or at least received with kindness.
