how would you handle betrayal without harboring unsolicited hurt?

Answer 1

Its probally going to happen, weather you want it or not. You learn from your life lessons its the natural order of things. However you get to choose how much it effects you. A healthy amount of doubt isnt a bad idea, just enough to clue you into another betrayal, but dont let it destroy your relationships. Work on the information you know and dont go wildly jumping to conclusions. Just cause there is one bad egg doesnt mean the whole batch is bad.

Or just go into drama overload mode, become an emo and start a myspace account :) (fyi that was a joke)
