Have you ever been betrayed by your best friend when you really needed her or him?. Today i went out alone to the market and due to my bad luck i eneded up having a fight with the shop keeper. He was a guy he tried to hit me, i think he was a retard. It got the attention of many peoples inthe meantime i saw my friend on the other side of the road. I am sure she saw me surrounded by other people but she walked away pretending she haven't seen me. This really hurts me, anyway the cops came and took the shopkeeper away to the station. Do you have friends like that and how to you deal with such friends, i really want to show her something. I mean sweet revenge.

i have a friend for almost 10 years now and she always tell to people that i am her best friend. she always text me or call if ever she needs me and i always at her side if ever she needs me. if i am not that busy she also tell me to run errands for her. when i dont have work she gave me something to get busy with and at the same time earn. but now slowly i can see the friendship dying, i learned from other people that she won on a some kind of lottery around 2M (pesos, philippine money). i was really shock. i never thought she will just let this freindship die just because of money. so one day i thought about borrowing money from her just to see and to find out what is she going to say.... she said she has no money and he has a lot of dept to pay as well. when we are still the good ole friends she never says no when i am borrowing money because she knows that i have four kids and is willing to help as long as i will pay back and i did pay back. she knows when i borrow money i always pay her back. now the usual everyday text messaging or call no longer exsist. she even forgot to greet me during my birthday. sweet revenge? no. why should i? now i know what kinda friend she is.

You too just imagine your best friend turning her back when you really needed her.

Well, 'betrayed' is such a strong word to use. I think I'd rather say that when I needed my friends they were not 'available' for some important reasons. At first, I felt that they were so unfair for not being there when I need them while if they need me I'm always there for them. But as I grew older, I understood that life doesn't give you all the sweet things in life, and you must understand that people have their own lives to live as well. They won't be there all the time, but it doesn't mean they have abandoned you. It simply means that you should try to do things on your own, not dependent on other's comfort. You'll soon find out that it's ok to be alone at times for it would help you know yourself better and allow you to solve your own problems thus making us more mature. As for your story, I guess she panicked and didn't know what to do. Some people just do things they don't think of when they panicked. Maybe that's your friend when she's panicking. =)

No, they have been there so far when I need them. But in your case, perhaps there's a logical explanation. Perhaps she just went into a state of panic and just ran off without thinking. If she saw you looking at her during that instance, then perhaps it is best to have a face-to-face talk and calmly talk it through. Don't jump straight to conclusions yet. However that shopkeeper is crazy and just be punished accordingly.

If a friend betrays you in time of need you can't really call him a friend. However in your case your friend probobly just didn't want to feel embarrassed and I don't really think that it was a time of need but hey thats no excuse. I guess you just got to make some real friends.

If that were my friend, I'd have to talk to her and find out from her if she really did see me or not. Maybe with all the confusion, she really did not recognize who you were. I would expect my best friend to talk it over with me if they felt I did something to hurt our friendship.
