Would you feel the same way if a close friend betrays you?
Frankly speaking, I would never feel the same way again. He/She might ask for forgiveness but the mirror has a crack already and can't be fixed.
Nevertheless, I will never be cruel and I will still lend a helping hand if they need me.

If a close friend would betray me, then i would try to know the main reason for his betrayal. I would try to realize and think what mistake have i done which returned in getting betrayed. I would try to find my mistake and if i didnt find any, then i would try to sort out the problem by talking to the other person who has betrayed me. I would try to make everything as mormal as it was before.

I feel the same way you do about friends that betray us. I would never trust them with anything again. I would still be friendly and if they ask for my help I would give it as much as I could, but the trust is gone and can never really be repaired.

i am a person who easily forget small fights that i had with my friends, or siblings. but when u do something that will really make me angry, takes time for me to forget it. but then again, after am ok, i make friends with them. i dont keep grudges makes me feel not good at all.

Hi WATARIKENJI.
For me, it depends on what action the friend did that I would consider a "betrayal". For example, if she said something negative about me behind my back and it got back to me, I might tell her that I know she said this and ask her to talk with me directly about it. Based on how she responded in the discussion, I would determine whether to continue the friendship.
If the friend did something more serious, then I might just gradually stop being friends with the person. Even so, it seems like the best policy to talk with the friend about what has upset me, to see if the friendship can be salvaged.

Yes, I prefer that they would be frank bout it rather than telling it behind my back. What are friends for?
