It can be scary to confront people because....
it can be taken the wrong way - they may feel frustrated, hurt or upset with the situation. it can look badly on us. sometimes its easier to carry on like nothing happened, that way no drama!
@Lauran because people are afraid to open up. They fear reactions to other people and how they will handle things versus confidently stating what one feels. Also, not everyone likes confrontation. Some people tend to shut down or ignore the other person when they are being confronted about something.

Yes. Or they villify you and get their friends to do the same. They may hold a grudge and make it difficult for you later as well. Especially online.
@Laura
I have nothing really much going on in my life that I can talk about. I have no family or friends. I don't have much to say or to share, yet I wish that I could have someone to share whatever it is that I can share and talk about, however small and short the conversations.
People are only out for themselves
Even though you pour your heart out to them and they just use it more to hurt you
I remember when i confronted my ex boyfriend after meeting him because i suspected he was cheating on me he couldn't give a satisfactory answer rather behaved so cold and i had no optioned than to end the relationship
There is no way of knowing whether they
Because its very hard to make them friends at the first point we are humans and we all desire for companionship
Confrontations don't give us time to think over what we say before we say it and I don't trust myself not to say something stupid that will hurt the other person's feelings. Or say something that I don't actually mean, just because the emotional situation made me say them. Also, I'm scared of making a fool of myself pretty much all the time so that's another situation where this could happen.
Depending on what it is, they could react a number of ways. Sometimes you never know.
If you're confessing something about yourself, they might not accept you for it, or be disappointed in you and never look at you the same way, or even just worry for you so much that you feel like a burden
When you're confronting them about something they're doing, whether they're doing something that you're not happy with or something that's bad for them, they might take it too personally, that you don't like them and not just what they're doing. A lot of people get defensive when you confront something they're doing.
