When people betray you, it can be hard. Keep reading for an insiders opinion on betrayal.
Very recently, someone I care about betrayed me. I was working with them for the past year and I felt like they were the only person that truly believed in me. Then I found out that they did some very bad, unprofessional things behind my back.
At first, I was in complete shock. I could not believe that someone I had trusted so much just did those terrible things. I never thought they were the type of person to go against their morals.
Next, I felt mad. I was so angry at them. I could punch a tree til' my hands bled just at the thought of them and what they did. I just so furious, I would shut down.
Lastly I felt betrayed. I felt like there was no one else on earth who would believe in me the same way this person did. It was a space I didn't know how to feel. It felt as if this person did these things just to stab me in the back. I was so hurt. Even to this day, I almost broke into tears just thinking about it.
Forgiveness. Something I have yet to come across, but I know it is crucial in relationships. I need to, not necessarily forget my feelings, but I need to conclude them and continue with my life. I don't need to hold this anger and hurt against this person because they are still a person who makes mistakes. Everyone messes up sometimes. I mean, can you name a person who hasn't.
