Fear

I thought about. . . how we feel lonely, sometimes to the point of tears, but we don't let those tears come because we are not supposed to cry. Or how we feel a surge of love for a partner we love, but we don't say anything because we're frozen with the fear of what those words might do to the relationship.

Darlin, do not fear what you don't really know.

Fear of a name increases fear of the thing itself.
