When friends betray me
Introduction |
---|
It's bad when the people you trust and take as yourself turn to stab you in the back. I have been stabbed. That's why I don't keep any friends. Everyone I call my friend is from a distance. You think I'm so mean, but I have been taught bitter lessons in life. Should I continue to be shown ingratitude and disrespect? Embarrassed and taken for granted? No, I can't.
Yes, I call them my friends, but I keep them at alms length. Besides, I have very few people I call my friends.
Will I say I trusted too easily? That's why I've been stabbed? I believe I get too close and trust everyone and also feel everyone is or should be like I am, but that's not possible to be I am.
In your understanding tell us what you understand by the word betrayal? |

Just as the word is, it means to betray another person. It is being disloyal, dishonest, breaking trust and friendship. For example, exposing your friends' secrets or privacy.
I just read on Facebook about how a supposed best friend betrayed her friend. According to the story, the date for her friend's wedding was fixed, only for her to blackmail her friend, saying untold things about her. The man believed her to the point that he said, "if her friend says this, it means it is true." The marriage had been called off by the man because of a single betrayal by a disloyal friend.

We were four of us in our group of colleagues at the university. Two in a pair, very close. I discussed with my friend (very close to me) that it was good if we joined the other two to read for our examination in order to achieve a better result. She said no, that it would be better with me alone. I said ok. Do you know that the lady went around to say something else about me?
She added sugar and salt, making it more elaborate than I said. After our last paper in school, one of them came to me and said, "Evelyn, I just want to clear up my mind, I don't want to leave this school with any grudges." She began to say that she didn't like the way I spoke about them, that she and the other girl weren't too intelligent. I was surprised. What do you mean? I asked. She said Mary told us you said so. I was weak and broken at the same time. When did I say that?
I left the place. I had nothing to explain to her. I went to my friend and asked what did you tell Emem? She began to say nonsense, I told her in anger that she will reap what she sowed and I walked away.
Long story cut short, we left school, she carried over three courses and never graduated with us. That was a friend. She backstabbed me, saying nonsense about me. I don't know the favour she gained by saying that.
We know that betrayal may lead to heartbreak, tell us ways to heal from such betrayal? |

Leave a lot of explanations, no one may believe you.
Be truthful, keep being honest, one day the truth will be out, and you'll be vindicated.
It may not be easy, learn to forgive, and the hurt will go little by little.
God can always heal and restore you. Pray about it. Yes!
How do you deal with people who have broken your heart several times? |

I don't need to be broken several times before I take precautions. I'm a very careful person. That's the truth about me. Once I've been shown a red light, I withdraw from such a person immediately.
I have zero tolerance for ingrate, dishonest and disloyal people. By God's grace, I may not be the best, but I try to keep and maintain friendship without hurting others.
There are people who are "sent demons" to destroy others, and so, I watch people closely. I may open my heart to be your friend, but I am careful, very careful.
All you need to is, to be careful with such people. They may even be your relatives. You need to be careful with them, keep them at alms length, bringing them close connotes trouble. It means you don't need peace yourself. Treat them as aliens, and they'll never get you.
Finally, commit yourself and everyone around you into God's hands. It's God who will drive those "evil friends" far away from you and surround you with good, trusted and loving people.
Try as much as possible to be a good and trusted friend too, so that your bad deeds won't turn to hunt you back. Ask God for mercy if you've hurt or broken anyone's trust before.

Thank you for the review and kind comment, it's appreciated.
When once you notice any iota of jealousy in a friend, please keep your distance because he/she can be very dangerous.
God will help us from friendsnemy.
Success to you sis

La traición es un tema bastante preocupante y delicado, porque diariamente vemos que cada día hay mas traiciones... Siendo el lugar académico o laboral los más concurridos.
Te deseo mucho éxito en la dinámica... Un fuerte abrazo💚
Thank you so much for reading, it's appreciated.
Strong statement - better no friends than the risk of being disappointed by them...
