His devotion to the quest is something that he may not usually talk about to others, something that he finds himself forced to hide like a secret love. He dare not speak one word about it for fear that it will be received with utter incomprehension or open ridicule.

A shyness develops which may make him unable to seek help even from those who are more advanced on the same quest.
