Imagine those days in 1990's when Letters were written but never posted and those days in 2000's when e-mails were typed but never sent. Try relating these with the current era of Whatsapp, where we still send the texts and delete for everyone in seconds after it was sent.

No matter how many generations pass, but that courage to confess has never made its way!


                                              


Isn't it fear? Despite the changes in technology and social norms, people still struggle with the fear of rejection and the consequences of confessing their feelings where they might lose the existing friendship or the bonding that they currently have. The reasons can just be their personal insecurities that they might not be ready to hurt themselves knowing the ultimate truth.

Now, Isn't this pessimism?

Confessing your feelings can be vulnerable act, and it requires a great deal of courage to do so. We know what we are risking when we put ourselves out in front of the person we love, it's either being rejected or judged, which can completely destroy the bond and can be incredibly painful.

We end up with a pile of regrets, whether we confess our feelings or not. If we don't confess, we may always wonder "what if?" and regret not taking the chance to express ourselves with an overwhelming fear. On the other hand, if we do confess and get rejected, we may regret opening up to someone and feel the sting of rejection.

However, being speaking in an optimistic way, aren't these love confessions incredibly rewarding? Also there is a possibility of deepening our connection with that person when we express our feelings to someone we care about. Even if the confession isn't reciprocated, we can still gain a sense of closure and move forward knowing that we were honest with ourselves and the other person.

The decision to confess is always a personal one, and there's no universal answer to this...
