Refusing to try something is the result of having absolutely no hope whatever of the possibility of success. Or, even if there were a chance of success, the feeling that failure might result is so devastating that one cannot afford to risk it. If both feelings are present, trying is virtually out of the question.

Not trying has its consequences over and above ruling out any chance of success. It can be depressing and affect your functioning.
