15 razões para te sentires miserável por te teres apaixonado pelo potencial dele

1. The potential you’re in love with may never come true.

Toda a gente tem potencial para fazer alguma coisa. Nenhuma vida nascida é uma vida inútil.

O que acontece é que alguns realizam o seu potencial, mas outros seguem um caminho errado e nunca chegam a fazer o que eram capazes de fazer.

Therefore, by falling in love with a guy like this, the only thing you’re left with is misery.

2. Gostas dele e ele sabe-o.

He will take advantage of the fact you’re in love with him—or better put—com o seu potencial.

He will smile at you across the room, knowing he’ll sweep you off your feet.

You won’t be able to do anything about it because your love is just too strong. Your love has a mind of its own. Once again…misery, it is.

3. You can’t change him.

You don’t have the power to change anyone. That’s the most common misconception of every relationship.

As pessoas pensam que podem mudar uma pessoa ao seu próprio gosto.

That’s BS, and it’s better to face that fact now than later.

4. No fundo, ele não tem a certeza sobre si.

That’s the reason why you fell in love with his potential. He is not letting you into his heart.

He is not letting you see him for who he is because he’s not sure you’re the one.

You’re prepared to give your everything to someone who is not sure about you. Think about that once again, will you?

5. When you’re not around, it’s like you don’t exist.

He won’t call you just to see how you are. He won’t show any interest in you unless you’re standing right in front of him.

Let me put this differently—if you’re not physically present, he won’t give you much attention.

This only shows that you’re convenient for him, for now. When he gets a better opportunity, you’re out of the game for good.

6. Is falling in love with someone’s potential enough?

Is it enough to make your lonely nights not so lonely, to hold your hand when you’re scared, or kiss you when you’re broken?

Será que se apaixonar por um potencial vale a pena partir o seu próprio coração?

7. Quando um homem quer alguma coisa, ele vai atrás dela!

A man will never wait to get something he thinks belongs to him—in this case, you.

You’re miserable because he is clearly not showing any interest in you. Better said, it’s the other way around. You’re chasing him!

8. Ele só te dá uma fatia do biscoito.

He is charming. He treats you with care, but only when he feels like it. He flirts with you, and then he stops and turns around like he doesn’t even know you.

The only feeling you can get—and you do get—from situations including him is confusion. Does he like you or doesn’t he?

9. You’re unhappy because he’s immature.

Sure, that relationship you’re trying to pull off looks perfect at moments. You go out on dates and dinners.

You have a lot of fun, but that doesn’t change the fact that he is an immature mama’s boy who não está preparado para enfrentar a realidade e tomar o assunto nas suas próprias mãos.

10. You think—we all think—we are their saviors.

Listen to me, a man like that doesn’t need saving.

Pensamos que podemos ajudar essas grandes qualidades escondidas a virem à superfície.

The truth is, they will never come out, as long as he keeps them in. It’s up to him, not you.

11. You can’t ignore the fact that there is still a spark of passion between you.

You can’t ignore the moments when your relationship looked like a real one, a true and everlasting one.

You can’t ignore the good in him, the freakin’ potential. It’s killing you. It’s making you miserable.

12. Aceita apenas a quantia que ele lhe dá.

Aceita migalhas do seu tempo, da sua atenção e do seu amor.

Estás completamente subordinada à sua vontade e à sua misericórdia de te dar atenção ou não.

13. Ele fala com outras raparigas.

Since he doesn’t take your relationship seriously, he invests a lot of time in flirting and talking to other girls.

Ele faz isto a toda a hora.

It can even happen when he’s with you. After all, to him, it’s all the same.

14. Está a desperdiçar o seu tempo.

The time you’ve spent with him is the time you’re never getting back.

Talvez se recuse a aperceber-se disso agora, mas, infelizmente, acabará por se aperceber a dada altura.

Depois, será demasiado tarde para reparar os danos que ele lhe causou.

15. You’re tired and miserable because you’re sick of making him see your situation from your point of view.

It’s excruciatingly painful to try to show him how you feel and make him see the two of you with your eyes.

The pain you’re feeling is crippling. It’s destroying you from the inside. Yet…nothing changes.
