Surfando na net

A propósito de uma frase que decorei, daquele filmezinho com o amigo do Aragorn - o Elfo Legolas, a.k.a. Orlando Bloom - em que ele contracena com a namorada do Homem-Aranha, recentemente, a Marie Antoinette, que é como quem diz Kirsten Durst, sendo que a frase é "I'm impossible to forget, but i'm hard to remember" do filme Elizabethtown, estava eu a pesquisar a net (imdb) e aparece-me o seguinte site:

WikiHow - how to forget your impossible crush.

E resolvi ir espreitar. Toda a gente tem uma dessas... Ai! O que eu me ri!!! Aqui vai!

To get over the one who doesn't like you:

Steps:

1. (O CHAMADO WAKE UP AND SMELL THE COFFEE!!!)

Acknowledge that you have been rejected. This may be hard to do if the person was too spineless to reject you outright. Get over it.

2. (OS QUE TÊM A MANIA DA PERSEGUIÇÃO QUE SE CULPEM, OS QUE GOSTAM DE ATIRAR AS CULPAS AOS OUTROS TAMBÉM O PODEM FAZER:NÃO ADIANTA!)

Don't take it personally. You may never know why the other person rejected you. It could be because the other person is spineless, egotistical or recently out of a painful relationship. It could also be because you're insane or not as attractive as you think. Realize that you have no control over either possibility, choose to think the former rather than the latter and move on.

3. (O MEU PREFERIDO: AUTO-TORTURA CHINESA)

Put an elastic band around your wrist and snap it whenever you think a positive or fluttery thought about the other person. - eu, então, com a minha tendência já não tinha pulso, eu!

4. (APELO AO ORGULHO:NÃO FALHA!)

Get over it. Harping on what isn't meant to be will land you into stalking or pathetic territory. Retain your pride.

5. (A FAMOSA LISTA!!)

List all the things you don't like about the person: self-centered, bad jokes, likes your best friend, etc.

Alternate Method - Métodos mais soft/demorados

1.

Admit you have a crush on the person and allow yourself to feel it. If you don't, you are at risk for "Romeo and Juliet Syndrome". The forbidden love possibility becomes more attractive.
2.

Spend time with the person. You will see their negative qualities, which will be beyond what you can bear if you're not meant to be.

Tips - que belos conselhos!!!

A) (CHATEAR OS AMIGOS, FAZER AQUELA TRETA DA AUTO-ANÁLISE)

Talk to people you can trust about how you feel. Be honest with yourself. Try and figure out what exactly attracted you about this person and use the opportunity to learn more about yourself.
B) (AFINAL, O TEMPO É QUE CURA TUDO E HÁ MUITO PEIXE NO MAR)

Just wait it out. New people will come along, they always do. It hurts to get rejected, but there are (excuse the tired expression) plenty of rats in the dumpster.
C) (CALHA A TODOS, NÃO ÉS O ÚNICO DESGRAÇADO!)

Remember that everyone has had at least one impossible crush in a lifetime. Be careful not to fall into believing that because one person doesn't want you, you are bound to end up miserable and alone. This is simply not true.
D) (CALHA A TODOS: PASSADO UM TEMPO, SÓ PENSAMOS: COMO É QUE EU FUI CAPAZ?! ONDE É QUE EU ESTAVA COM A CABEÇA!?!?!)

Often, in retrospect people will look back to their impossible crushes and say "Ugh! What did I ever see in them?" You have built up your crush to be this image of perfection, but be realistic and accept their flaws. If you get rejected outright, be grateful for the honesty; now you can move on without asking yourself "what if?" If the other person is too spineless to reject you outright, ask yourself if you'd really want to be with a person like that anyway... probably not.

Warnings - UUIII!
I.

Try not to get too depressed. It will be hard, but remember that life keeps going and it's better to go at the same speed.
II.

This can lead to real depression. Sometimes it's better to leave it and rely on hope for that small chance. Nothing is really impossible.

Enfim. Faço minhas as palavras de um tal James Lowell, hoje aqui realçadas pelo Citador, que não podiam vir mais a propósito, "Um espinho de experiência vale toda a selva de avisos".

Epá! Nem de propósito!! É que ainda ontem estava a ler na Xis, onde dizia que, se nos anos 90, a depressão era assunto da moda nas revistas da especialidade, hoje em dia, a Hapiness ganhou terreno e é a estrela das reportagens.
