I Trusted my Friend so Much, but Then They Betrayed me. how can i Ever Trust People Again?

I’m truly sorry that you’ve had to go through such a painful experience with your friend’s betrayal. It’s completely understandable that you’re questioning your ability to trust others now. But please know that this is just one incident and it doesn’t define all of humanity or future friendships. Everyone makes mistakes, and while this betrayal is a big one, it doesn’t mean that everyone will hurt you. When you’re ready to open up again, start small. Maybe meet new people in low – pressure situations like group activities or clubs related to your interests. Take things slow, and don’t be afraid to share a little bit about yourself gradually. Also, pay attention to how others treat you over time. True friends will show consistency in their kindness and respect for you.
