I have a good friend who grew up together with me from childhood. There are almost no secrets between us. But he betrayed me.I was so sad and angry!But I did not say one word. From then on,I don't trust anyone any more.I think all my friends are very untruthful. My parents tell me friendship is very important.But I don't think so! How about you?

Dear friend, For me friendship is very important as it has given be many things other then money or any other materials needs. I do have experienced much of its essential part which has no words. I am just here typing like this only because of one of my friend’s information on mylot. I do also accept that there are bad friends or good friends and also number of friends varies to every may be there might be very rare people in society without any friends. Another most important part I consider is how well we go with out friends or may be how well they are to us. This part I consider to be more precious when I get a friend that may later consider as best friend or close friends. I always tried not to be with bad friends with negative intentions.

Hi Angel, Betrayal is always a hard one to deal with especially from a best friend, but by you not forgiving and moving on from you you are damaging and punishing yourself more with bitterness. This allows them to hurt more. Not everyone is untrustworthy and friendship is very important. Dpn't let this one person affect the really great frinedships you could be enjoying right now but aren't because you can't trust. I am sorry to hear this has happened to you but in life most people do experience this at least once, I know I have. Ellie :D

What U think betray may be loyal to him. I think there might be some misunderstanding between U & with UR friends. It is better why don't talk with him in this regards.What U think is betray it may ignorance for him. Before distrust him better to talk with him.

Friendship is very important, your parents are correct. But, sometimes friends will betray you, either by accident or by being mean. As you grow older you will know better than to divulge all your secrets to your friends.

That's a bad experience. I would hate that. You dont need to hate everyone you see. If you really hated, what do you think we are? You hate us too??? Its a bad experience. He is no more your friend. You have lots left.

I do not have friends for the sake of having friends. All of my friends, and there are not that many, are true frieds whom I can trust. I am not a person who needs a lot of friends in my life just for the sake of having a crowd to hang with.

i rather have no friends than to have a bad friend.. you will trust again when you heal and meet the next friend and realize that this one might and hopefully will be trustful.. dont keep around bad friends and negative friends and energy just so you wont be alone.. if you can forgive him and get past it then thats fine but never hold onto something that will just bring you down.. lifes too short and bad friends can ruin your life

I am sorry to hear about what happened to you and your friend. Your parents are right i saying that friends are important. No man is an island, you have to have friends that will be there for you when you are down and also be there for you in your triumphs. Don't let one bad friendship prevent you from having and meeting other friends in the future. :)

dear Muelite Thank you for encouraging,No one in the world is island! It's easy to make friend who are playing with you,we call them playmates, It's hard to make friend who will be there with me when I am down and also be there with me in my triumphs!It's really hard!Time,patience and great courage are needed!
