Betrayed by friends

Have you ever been betrayed by your friends? I have! I was so down when i found out that my best friend was telling lies to me. Bad thing about him is that he always come out with reasons on every mistakes that he made. For me to forgive him this time is really a tough move, i don't think i have the gut to even talk to him. All this while, he has tried his best to distract me from the real issue by telling me that someone make us apart. He doesn't know that he is the one who has his attitude problem that causes this friendship to come to an end! Because of his attitude and the way he lied to me the moment i need him to help me so much, i feel betrayed and ever since that day onwards, i forever 'deleted' him from my life and circle of friends. I feel so lonely lately for me to lost a best friend, and gain another enemy. Am i that immature or what? Is it that avoiding him and making him as my enemy are the best solution to this problem?

Yes I have bene betrayed by friends before and like you I also cut them off. While it does hurt, I think it was the best thing to do because why surround yourself with people who will constantly smile in your face, but speak ill of you as soon as your back is turned? They are not true friends! I do feel lonely, because a friendship takes time to build with someone and you have to start all over again; but to me, it is better to loose someone who is not a true friend than to keep that person around and they constantly hurt you and your feelings.

I have been betrayed by what I thought was a best friend. Ended up she was a jealous and mean spirited person along with being a user. I was really mad when I found out some things she was doing and I went right to her face and asked if it was true. She denied it all. I let it go and then when I heard it again by more people that was it. I cut all ties to her, and Im not sorry that I did in the least, I found out that she wasnt the person that I thought that she was. I dont regret my decision and It took some time but I found a true friend. It is hard thou to trust once hurt and betrayed.

I have been betrayed many times in my life. These people only claimed to be friends. True friends don't betray you.

ya, now im having a time of my own. When i got back to my hometown, these stuffs eventually being vanished just like that. I don't have to worry much. But when im here, i always thought of what happened between me and my ex-bestfriend. geez, life is great without him. At times, i would find him irritating, trying to impress me in his personal blog and so on. All i do is just to ignore him. Thanks for caring. :)

If you are betrayed by him them there is no reason for you to feel sad about his lost. He is not your lost and dont waste your time feeling bad for what you did. He deserved it and you have given him a chance before so there is no point for you to feel bad this time. A person who betrayed you several times is hard to trust. Once a person started to tell you lies dont consider that person as a bestfriend at all. He is not worth to be your friend. Better have no bestfriend if you cant even trust him.

I have been betrayed and back stabbed by friends quite alot of times. I managed to get past it and talk my way through. Or simply ignore, ignore, ignore until a time comes where its right to speak. Judging the situation, and it turns out normal again.

I once had a very good friend, but she betrayed me. I still don't understand the reason why actually.. We shared secrets, laughter, sadness, everything. She actually leaked my secret to another classmate! And that classmate told another classmate, and so on and so on.. until the whole class knew my secret : I had a crush on one boy. I felt like the whole world was against me that time. I guess she leaked it out after we had a quarrel.. But it was a very tiny little quarrel yet she got so angry. I became so lonely and depressed, but after a while it was better. Anyway, losing a friend feels horrible, but it's good riddance to a friend who's unloyal. So do cheer up, you can make friends with other more trustworthy people too.

i have been betrayed by my friend.. and for a while it is very hard for me to accept it but, then i realized that it is good to make him become my enemy so, i think as long as he didnt make a very serious mistake, you shoul forgive his mistake after all, that's what live for, to make friends not enemy

I am really sorry knowing your sad story which falls you in another tension. I have a bitter experience as you have. My best friend, yes! he was my best friend betrayed me whenever we were in college. He told me lies about such an important matter of mine that spoiled my valuable time. For his lies, I lost a serious chance in life. Still I am suffering for his lies. For his evil task, I couldn't forgive him. Though after making me a loser he came to be me to say sorry. But with his sorry I never recover my losses. Since then I had been all alone, say whithout friendship. I can't trust friends. Always my mind put itself and hesitate if he/she betray my once again. Yes friend, friendshipless is another problem. I think friendship is closeness of minds. If once close friend goes away / bound to get away, it makes a hole in mind, that can't sometimes recover. May be that kind of hole puts you in new problem that affected me as well. So I think everybody to be more careful in treating friends always & ever.

Friends in the interests of the driven,it will betray you, perhaps there are some difficulties, this kind of thing happened,you may feel lonely,it may be a manifestation of human nature, which is different from other people of the host animal, we feelings are always very complicated, and that is why we have recalled childhood always so beautiful.
