I have lost trust in someone before. One of my "best" friends revealed
some very personal information about me regarding a relationship with my
girlfriend to other students at school.
As soon as these students got wind of the information, it spread like wild
fire. It was more embarrassing for my
girlfriend than myself, so I got extremely angry when I found out that he had
passed the along the secret to someone else.
At first, my reaction was complete shock. I couldn't believe such a good friend would
do something so stupid to betray me.
When I confronted him about it, I went into the situation thinking that
things would turn physical. I was so
angry that I really didn't know what I was going to do. Once we began talking, or should I say
yelling, things started out pretty rough.
Eventually, we were able to talk things out and he apologized to me and
posted a Facebook status saying that the information he leaked wasn't true. I appreciated that, but I was reluctant to
tell him anything personal for awhile.
I'm someone who values trust and it is hard to earn it back. He eventually did, but it took time.
I completely understand where you are coming from when a friend betrays you. It something that is really hard to deal with and is very shocking. It's good that you were able to talk/ yell it out with him instead of just holding a grudge and not talking to him at all. Ive had similar situations with friends who have betrayed me. It really hurts knowing somebody so close to you did something that went behind your back. The best thing to do is keep your head up and just think twice when you share information that you don't want out
