Betrayal

[LostStar]

I've just found out some work mates have been talking behind my back, discussing things i'd told them in confidence.. a friend of mine is also being bitched about and has recently been left really hurt by someone who appeared to have been a really good friend for years until now and has been twisitng the knife. Is it me or is the world turning more sour the closer it approaches valentines day? Someone cheer me up Please!x

I have realised the hard way that there are very few true friends in life that you can trust. I maybe have 3 friends that I feel like that about.

I do agree that people are so 2 faced and insincere. I keep myself to myself a lot more now than when I was younger. The less people know (particularly in a work environment) the better and the less they have to bitch about.

A classic, was when I spilt with my ex 6 years ago and some woman approached me and asked if I was a lesbian due to the split. So, some nice 'friend' had started this rumour. I just smiled, looked her up and down and said 'your not my type so dont let it bother you'. I think with age, these things bother you less and less and you get to the point where you just surround yourself with people you really like!!

Hmmm, things like this have been going on for ages and always will do. The fact that they are talking behind peoples back shows their insecurity. I dont know if they realise, but those same people will be talking about them too.
I think your friend will still be your friend, its just that they got put in a situation where they felt pressured into joining in. maybe the so called friend isnt as strong as you.
I dont think some people actually realise they are causing hurt. It makes it much harder when its someone who is supposed to be your friend.
Also I think a lot of women are emotionally unstable at this time of year as they see their friends etc, getting gifts and cards.
I know most women like all this equal crap, but deep down they are still women and like company and gifts and like being someones wife/girlfriend...

Yeah I agree with both of you, they are just insecure as MrBen mentioned. Rise above it as you are better than them.
