They didn't say that at all. They're saying they have no desire to do those things. Even if you injected them with all the confidence in the world they would never walk in that direction. You're completely misunderstanding them.

No, the commenter said s/he was not too timid to try, it was the lack of desire to try new things that was the obstacle.
