mab1219, I'm sure it happens to many people in that "best friends" can turn on you, It hurts more because of the trust that was once there is gone. Did this happen to you? Is it a relationship issue? When you are ready to talk about it, we are here. Know that you are safe. It helps to get that off your shoulders or it will keep going around in your mind over and over... Try doing some deep breathing. When you exhale, rid yourself of the painful memory. You will need to work through this. x

Yes this happened to me. I’ve been holding so much in and I don’t want to hold it in anymore. I feel like that anytime I try to have friends or be nice to someone it always blows right back up in my face. I’m scared of getting hurt...

It sure does suck, but now you know who your true friends are and the ppl who truly care for you will not do things like that to you, ever! So God has his way of showing you this. You don't need a person like that in your life, someone who makes you feel bad should be kicked out of your life asap. Shame on that wannabe bestie who really wasn't, you will move on to bigger and better things and definetly better people in your life too. 💜👍☺

I'm scared too, always been abandoned,rejected and hurt. We do have to protect our hearts ❤. So just be more cautious and alert of the fake non genuine people you come by and be thankful for the people you can trust and who care genuinely for you. I'm not good at giving advice but Ive been where you have so I understand. Here if you ever need to vent or talk to someone. Take care ☺

in reply tomab1219

Yes it is, however in the end you will be better off to! It just happened to me yet once again and now I know they were not a friend, just don't need that kind in my life!

Sorry to hear about that :/ I know it hurts right now but it might be better for your mental health to not have someone who is toxic in your life. I've experienced this as well and I can say that it is better to rid of the toxic people even if they don't feel like they are toxic. You deserve to have people in your life that support you and don't cause drama. Stay strong. You will get through this.

Thank you. It’s nice to know that there are people here for me. People I can talk to who can relate.

Of course :)

Has happened to me too. Have been trying to contact my “best “ friend for 2 years. She hasn’t responded to any of my attempts to contact her. It’s hard not to take it personally, but with anxiety, I think it’s best for my mental health to let go and move on. Know you have friends here. Best to you.

Yea. My “best friend” turned on me and tried to ruin the best thing that has ever happened to me. Now things ain’t the same between us

Hi! This happened to me.

She’s been my closest friend for 4 years. We did all things together.

Then, one day, I did something stupid. And she told everyone and I lost everything even my boyfriend at that time. I blamed myself for two years. And up until today I still hear those stories about me telling I’m a slut and a bitch..

Yea. I can’t even say I have a best friend anymore. It’s like nothing I do is ever good enough.

That’s how I feel at times. :(

mab1219 in reply toLostlittlegirl_

I don’t know how to deal with it honestly. I just keep to myself and put on a smile and say I’m okay. It’s got to the point where I need help before I do something I’m gonna regret.

Smile helps alot. What I do is I fake it till I make it. But, of course there will be those days that I just can’t win over myself.

I hope things get better.

Sad to say, that happens a lot when you are young. It’s best to just cut those people out of your life. Over time you find your true friends and they’ll be there for you through thick and thin. I got 4 friends I’ve known for 20 years and they are like family to me. We are always there for each other. You’ll find the right people for you. It just happens and it’s amazing when you make those connections.

This song by one of my favorite bands sums it for me. Give it a listen if you want.
