[ENG/PT-BR] Advice from a friend for life.
Listening to other people's advice is not a completely easy task, we often let our pride speak louder and thus find it difficult to accept that a friend or even someone we don't have much contact with gives us tips about something that is happening, so, Through this block in accepting that someone outside the box is seeing our mistakes, we can go through very bad situations.
We can also accept, in good time or after a while, reflecting that this person can really help us improve as a person or get out of a situation that is visibly bad for us. Therefore, I would like to share a situation that happened to me a few years ago in which a friend from that time helped me to better understand something that affects many of us, even today and as adults, we still fall into this problem at one time or another.
What would that advice be? Well, first let's look at the context: when I was a teenager I was really deluded with people, especially with women, yes, that phase when we are discovering so many things and we go through good times and, at the same time, complicated ones too. We are still discovering that not all people are good, that not all people want the best for us and when you fall in love with one of them, that's when the problem gets bigger, because blinded by this pseudo love, it becomes difficult to see the truth.
So there was a girl that I really liked and I was very deluded about her, who has never experienced this, right? The first pangs of passion and the love that today we know is not love. Well, I was always running after this girl, trying everything to date her and I always received a negative response, but when I was starting to understand that nothing was real, she always came back and my soft heart accepted her again. That's when my friend from that time realized this and started talking to me, showing and explaining that I was just a second option.
I remember him telling me some truths, that when a person really loves, she would do everything to be with me and not just go back and forth like we were, she really only looked for me when she had a fight with a boyfriend she was with and I was just a damn second option. My friend, who opened my eyes, said exactly that, people like to have someone running after them, they like a “fool” like me, falling in love with her, crawling and begging for attention and love that she never offered in return. sincerity.
These words felt like shots in my chest, a feat entering my heart, but they were the truth, because I was just the substitute player in this game of passions and if it hadn't been for him to give me that advice, I don't even know where I would be today. This powerful advice reminds me that even today, as an adult, I sometimes still pay a lot of attention to people who treat me like a second option, not just in love, but in friendship or professionally too, so it became something I carried with me. for my life.
Such a strong teaching, that now as a father, I talk a lot to my children, who go through exactly the same things that I have already gone through (and they are still children, 7 and 11 years old) but, they already feel and understand a little when a “little friend” doesn’t pay attention to them or leaves them aside, exactly like the girl did to me. My advice is the same as my friend from that time, if someone doesn't value you or plays with your feelings, just stay away from them, we can't grovel for anyone's attention.
It's a shame that I no longer have contact with this friend, I already looked on some social networks, but I never found him, unfortunately we lost contact with each other, but, on the other hand, his advice stayed with me for the rest of my life .
Ouvir o conselho de outras pessoas não é uma tarefa totalmente fácil, muitas vezes deixamos nosso orgulho falar mais alto e assim custamos aceitar que um amigo ou até mesmo um alguém que não temos muito contato nos dê dicas sobre algo que está acontecendo, sendo assim, por meio desse bloqueio em aceitar que uma pessoa fora da caixa está vendo os nossos erros, podemos passar por situações bem ruins.
Podemos também aceitar, numa boa ou depois de um tempo, refletindo que essa pessoa pode realmente nos ajudar a melhorar como pessoa ou sair de uma situação visivelmente ruim para nós. Por isso, gostaria de compartilhar uma situação que aconteceu comigo há alguns anos que um amigo daquela época me ajudou a entender melhor uma coisa que afeita e muito nós, até mesmo hoje e após adultos, ainda caímos neste problema uma vez ou outra.
Qual seria esse conselho? Bem, primeiro vamos ao contexto: na época da minha adolescência eu realmente era muito iludido com as pessoas, principalmente com as mulheres, sim, aquela fase em que estamos descobrindo tantas coisas e passamos por momentos bons e, ao mesmo tempo, complicados também. Ainda estamos descobrindo que nem todas as pessoas são boas, que nem todas querem o nosso bem e quando você se apaixona por uma delas, aí que o problema fica maior, pois cegos por este pseudo amor, fica complicado enxergar a verdade.
Então havia uma garota da qual eu gostava muito e estava bem iludido com ela, quem nunca passou por isso não é verdade? As primeiras dores de paixão e o amor que hoje sabemos que não é amor. Pois bem, eu vivia correndo atrás desta garota, tentando de tudo para namorar ela e sempre recebia uma resposta negativa, mas quando estava começando a entender que nada era real, ela sempre voltava e o coração mole a aceitava de novo. Foi aí que meu amigo daquela época percebeu isso e começou a conversar comigo, mostrando e explicando que eu era apenas uma segunda opção.
Lembro dele falando umas verdades para mim, de que quando uma pessoa ama mesmo, ela faria de tudo para estar comigo e não apenas ficar em um vai e vem como estávamos direto, ela realmente só me procurava quando brigava com algum namorado que ela estava e eu era apenas a droga de uma segunda opção. Meu amigo, que me abriu os olhos, falou exatamente isso, as pessoas gostam de ter alguém correndo atrás delas, gostam de um “bobo” igual eu era morrendo de amores por ela, rastejando e implorando por atenção e amor que ela nunca ofereceu em sinceridade.
Essas palavras pareciam tiros no meu peito, uma faça entrando no meu coração, mas era a verdade, pois eu apenas era o jogador substituto deste jogo de paixões e se não fosse ele para me dar esse conselho, nem sei como estaria hoje. Esse conselho tão poderoso, me faz lembrar que até hoje, após adulto, às vezes ainda dou muita atenção para pessoas que me tratam como uma segunda opção, não apenas em amor, mas em amizade ou profissionalmente também, então, se tornou algo que carreguei para a minha vida.
Um ensinamento tão forte, que agora como pai, falo muito para os meus filhos, que passam exatamente pelas mesmas coisas que eu já passei (e olha que ainda são crianças, 7 e 11 anos) mas, já sentem e entendem um pouco quando um “amiguinho” não dá atenção para eles ou os deixa de lado, exatamente como a menina fazia comigo. Meu conselho é o mesmo do meu amigo daquela época, se alguém não dá valor em você ou brinca com seus sentimentos, apenas se afaste deles, não podemos rastejar pela atenção de ninguém.
Uma pena não ter mais contato com este amigo, já até procurei em algumas redes sociais, mas nunca encontrei ele, infelizmente perdemos o contato um com o outro, mas, por outro lado, os seus conselhos ficaram em mim para o resto de minha vida.

.Of the Truth, truth is bitter and not everyone is ready to accept the facts. Thank God you understood that your peace of mind matters to you and you left the girl. She's been using you to satisfy her selfish desires but glad you left after all...
Some people love having another passionate person running after them like I was running, so I was just the spare, the tire to put on when their official one burst, after we get out of that situation, it's funny that we lived so long doing these crazy things haha. 😂
Taking an advice form someone and jn a situation when you likes someone badly is very difficult because our likeness overseed others. But you listened and act also.
I believe it's that phrase "blind by love", but in adolescence these love things are complicated, we are still learning a lot and anyone who gets closer to us seems to deceive ourselves that it is love and not just friendship. I'm glad this friend of mine helped me open my eyes with his advice.

This is a lovely advice. Attention shouldn't be a one-way thing, it is to be reciprocated.
There must be a balance between the two people, as you said, unilateral attention is a very bad thing for the person who is loving or doing everything for the other. Thanks for commenting!
Yay! 🤗
