"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

I am sure there has to be a specific name for this I just don't know what to search to find what it is.

A person will be interested in somebody but doesn't want that interest to be known. So their interest will leak through by talking about that person a fair amount. The manner they speak about that person in isn't always positive. Bringing up annoyances or the other sort, but always finding a way to talk about them. Essentially hiding it yet still letting it leak through. Does this have a specific psych name?

The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

Cognitive dissonance is close but it's not exactly that. It's not trying to subconsciously hide it
