Star Trek's Scotty gets a great line ine one of the original episodes:
"Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me."
Being a forgiving soul and willing to give chances when I deem them warranted, I'd probably say that "twice" is too soon to condemn myself, but he makes a point.
Our society and civilization cannot long last if we cannot trust one another. The fault is not in giving the trust: it is in betraying that trust.
And why hold the misbehaviour of one person against all others? If Person A betrays you, does that mean everyone will? Do we not all deserve the same chance you gave Person A?
Love and trust are not for the faint-hearted, for sure. There is pain to be experienced by those who take advantage and betray the trust and love.
But even now, after what I've been through, I can say Love is worth any sacrifice.
Even the pain of betrayal.
What do you say?

In my life the betrayal has gone both ways. I sometimes believe that since I hurt someone real bad a very long time ago and I have been paying for it ever since. Karma is the explanation.
The real kind of love, like yours kind sir, is elusive. Maybe it only comes around once.

It's wrong to betray the trust of others, especially if you your self have been hurt by betrayal, therefore you should be able to better grasp betrayal, and the pain it causes, yet this does not happen, many times people who get betrayed often tend to betray, also. This can be a vicious cycle, I would rather think, that most people would vote for love, rather than fear, but the opposite happens, I believe these people who betray others most of the times, do not seek to find out why they may have been so attracted to that individiual in the first place, therefore they look outside of themselves, at the other person, and continue to believe the other person has the problem rather than evaluateing themselves. They jump again into another relationship, when the first gift was not appreciated. and the next time the betrayal becomes worse, because this person may be attracted to their pain or some association dealing with it . So inlove I go

I agree with everything you say. We do need to be able to trust others as well as ourselves. My experience has made it very difficult for me to trust. It is something I know that I will have to continue to work on my entire life. It is very difficult and frustrating when you get to a place of trust and then someone betrays you. It feels like you have to start all over again and it is all very vulnerable. And it's true that other people suffer when you have trust issues because often times you can not just trust some but not others because things will trigger you and make you afraid. Good question. Something I think we all should ponder.

You have every right to feel betrayed. You did nothing wrong by trusting the people you thought were friends. You will meet new people and you will make true friends. Just be patient.

Frankie lane sang a great song once called "Moonlight Gambler" I loved that song and it said "If you've never gambled for love in the moonlight, then you've never gambled at all. I think there is a lot of truth to that. Trusting and loving is pretty close
