Expressing love and regretting it or never expressing it and regretting it?

This question has been on my mind a lot.
Expressing and Regretting:
You gather all your courage, put your heart on the line, and say it out loud. But what if things don’t go as you hoped? Rejection, awkwardness, or even losing the person completely—these thoughts haunt you. The regret of "Maybe I shouldn't have said it" lingers.

Never Expressing and Regretting:
You keep it all inside, convincing yourself it’s safer this way. You watch from a distance as life moves on, as they move on. And one day, you wonder—"What if?" The regret of "Maybe things could have been different" never leaves.
So, which one is worse? Is it better to take the risk and deal with the consequences, or is silence the greater regret?

Would love to hear your thoughts!
