Your friend has betrayed you ( express regret)
Answers
Answer:
We experience disappointments and minor betrayals from friends on a regular basis, from a BFF bailing on dinner plans at the last minute to them sharing private details when we wish they hadn't. When we face something we perceive as a particularly egregious act by a friend, a number of painful emotions can arise that may crowd out a measured response, making it difficult to respond, process, and move on. Grief and a deep sense of loss are common emotions when our trust has been broken, and we're forced to ask ourselves uncomfortable questions. How could my friend do this to me? Were we even friends in the first place?
The closer the relationship, the greater the devastation after a transgression. Betrayals can be deeply complex, and if forgiveness cannot be achieved, its negative effects may last for generations with a tenacity similar to strong friendship bonds. So we asked some experts for tips on how to process betrayal, how to move on and to find forgiveness.
