4 years ago, a close friend of mine betrayed me. i saw her this morning and it reminded me that there are just people like her walking on this earth. it sickens me to think that i had treated her more like a sister than a friend and she, out of turn, would simply do things that pierced my heart. i find her behavior extremely bad and a reconcialation will never be possible. what about you? do you have the same bad experiences?

Fortunately, I haven't been betrayed by any close friends of mine. I know that being betrayed by someone you trust and care for really hurts deep. But try to forgive that person and pray that he/she will change. Or if you can't find it in your heart to forgive, just forget it ever happened. Sometimes we need to move on with our lives and dwelling on past experiences isn't healthy at all.

i have had several experiences like that.. and even when i forgave some one i had been friends with in childhood it didnt fix anything so it was stupid i guess to try to fix it but i guess it gave me a hint of closure on it.. as far as other people that just isnt any going back.. once people screw me over that is it.. i dont put up with crap and when i have done it before in the past its always bit me in he butt so i trust my instincts now and dont try since it was always me reaching out to people that screwed me over thinking that maybe time would heal but it never worked so at least i can go around with out having a guilty conscious about hurting some one since i tried so its not on me anymore and i can have peace.. too bad they cant if they feel anything at all that is.. you cant help that you cant forgive.. as long as you tried somewhat at least but if they did something unforgivable then thats all there is to it and they will just have to live with how awful they were to you.. hopefully your next friend will be worthy of you

Erm.. she was being human. Yes i have been betrayed before, but to me it doesnt hurt at all cause i draw line between friends and myself. I do try to make sure that i only help if i can, i never go beyond to help them. It seems that there are a quite a few people tend to forget about people who have helped them.
