If I did, it was their fault for not telling me how they felt. They broke their own hearts.

@FoxyQueen That's an interesting perspective on yhe question. Hearts broken not by love but by shyness. Thank you.

@SchoolBelle I don't want to blame shyness because that seems unfair. Shy people have a huge hurdle to get over. But those who didn't out of fear, they could have shown some courage.

@FoxyQueen Cowardice, then? I think I would rather characterise a person as shy than as a coward.

And, to be fair, I meant normal, social shyness, not as a pathological condition.

@SchoolBelle Fair enough.
