Friendship is of vital importance to a meaningful life. Everyone needs friends in their life, especially the ones that we can rely on. In most situations, we are beneficial from our friends. But sometimes it is different, and maybe you get hurted by your friends. Have you ever got such kind of experience that your best friend betrayed you? Suppose you were cheated by your best friend, how would you react?

I'll be very very angry with him or her because I was so trust her.A friend in need is a friend indeed rather than a cheater.I made friends with them due to I trust and love them.Perhaps I will forgive him or her if she apologise to me and confess her mistake.And it depends on her attitude.Otherwise,I would rather lose a friend than make a friend with a cheater.

Do you believe that the person you love and trust most is most likely to cheat you? Peopl will not cheat you because of your trust and love for them. I mean that they maybe betray you even if you trust in and love them. No one wants to be a cheater! Sometimes it is really difficult for us to make a decision. The world we live in is so complex!

Right, we should treasure our hard-won friendship! It is relly really a big treasure for us to cherish. And we should value everything we have now!

Yes,I think it is hard to forgive the person who cheated you.I treasure the friendship once we owned and don't want to lose it although I have been cheated.

Hi there jiqiangzhao. I have considered so many people as my friends in the past. But i came to realize that they didn't consider me as their friend. Some even talk behind my back and some just become my friend to gain something they wanted. That happened until college.But now, i'm already choosy of the person's whom i can call my friend. There's so many people in this world who have double face so i have to be careful. Although i admit that i m careless sometimes and i don't have the vibrations on people.

I have the same feelings with you, my dude! There is no doubt that there are some people so-called friends of us in life just asking for something from us but never giving anything to us. And this kind of people cannot be called our friends. A friend in need is a friend in deed! And we must be careful when making friends with others.

This did happen to me once. I have two people that I refer to as my best friend. One of them did do something that hurt me greatly. It was a one time thing that never ended up happening again and as severe as the situation was, as much as it hurt me, she was decent enough to come to my face and tell me what she did wrong instead of either hiding it or letting me find out from someone else. I respected her for it and although our friendship was damaged for a long time, we are once again best friends. Her and I did not speak for almost 2 years after the incident happened but luckily enough, we saw each other one day, managed to mend everything over and have maintained a status of best friends ever since. She is a kind person with a kind heart and is always there for others when you need her. She is a shoulder to cry on and is great at making you laugh when you feel blue. I think that you should try and understand why your friends do the things that they do. It would also depend on how bad the act of them betraying you was. As I said, in my case,it was pretty bad. Almost as bad as you could get and I did still forgive her. I'm glad I did too. Sometimes people do things without thinking. If it is a one time thing and they are truly sorry for doing it, they honestly show remorse and are apologetic, they should be forgiven for their actions. Or at the very least, understood.

Thank you so much for sharing your experience and opinions with us. I am agree with you in some points. And if I were cheated by my best friend, firstly I will feel very disappointed and even heartbroken. Maybe I would never trust in others any more. However, if he or she didn't really mean to do that, I would forgive him or her and forget it.

I have never been cheated by my best friend so far so I really don't know how it feels. But what if it happens? It will probably depend on what kind of situation it is and how hard the effect will be. If it's just a first time, I could probably forgive the person, but if it's not I will surely think twice if I want to forgive the person or not.
