Do me a favor and stop asking that question.

@kingfish2: Please forgive me for saying this I'm only trying to help with a reply that would help you more than anyone's denials or admissions here.
It's like saying you're afraid to admit there's someone or something you wish you could have but are looking for reassurance that you are not alone in not taking the first step. And I think you would be quite capable if you just didn't squander your ability by asking this question. It takes a lot of fear to evade admitting to yourself you want badly, and not willing to gamble your pride to try.
The courage needed to try knowing you are probably going to fail feels a lot like embarrassment when you push yourself but it's far better to try and know than to not try and forever wonder what if you had.

@kingfish2: It might not be the perfect cure but if you're going to carry a torch for someone, the least you can do for them if you care about them is to put a little light on their path. Maybe they'll find the guts to go get what they always wanted. It's the next best thing, ya know.
