The most tragic outcome of young love can be when one person loves deeply while the other is unaware of this love. This can lead to a profound sense of anxiety and a struggle between focusing on an imaginary world and the real-life relationship. This dilemma is a common theme among many artists, as seen in the personal lives of famous figures like F. Scott Fitzgerald.
