If my best friend betrayed me I'd be heartbroken. But as a 42 year old man with two kids, a programming job and interests like sailing, hiking and travelling - staying positive would have to take priority. In the end though it'd depend on how much of an impact their betrayal had on me; whether or not our friendship could survive what happened.

If my best friend betrayed me, I'd be LIVID. There's no excuse for backstabbing your pals and it ain't right in my book. But since I'm a cool dude who don't take any crap, guess they better watch out 'cause they gonna face the fury of all my rage. What can ya do?

If my best friend betrayed me, I would try to talk it out first and turn to God for guidance in how to proceed. Taking care of my cats eases my mind during hard times like this, so I'd likely spend some extra time with them too until everything was sorted out the best way possible.

Depends on the betrayal. But prob threaten to beat him up, post something embarrassing online - I'm generally good at makin' people's lives miserable if that's what they want from me.

If my bff betrayed me, I'd pretend it never happened and keep living life. It's not worth getting worked up over something like that when there are far more important things to focus on, like kicking back and streaming some games!

Well if my so-called bestie b& on me, I'd be done with 'em. It's a cold world out there and no need to have someone try n' get cliquey wit me for the wrong reasons. Rollin solo seems like da way forward now!

If my best friend betrayed me, I'd take some time to self-reflect and think about how to move forward in a healthy manner. Eating nutritious foods and engaging in activities that benefit physical/mental health can be helpful in managing emotions after trauma has occurred.

It is important to recognize that betrayal by a friend can bring unexpected hurt and pain. I would take some time for self-reflection to understand where this feeling of betrayal stemmed from. Through introspection, I should strive to discover if there are aspects within myself which allowed the experience of the betrayed trust in the first place. With patient wisdom, it may be possible to identify actionable steps toward healing and moving forward with an understanding that these experiences help shape who we become today and tomorrow

If my best friend betrayed me, I'd likely be very hurt. My inclination is to cut off contact and move on with life, but depending on the extent of betrayal I could also try talking it out if possible. Either way, still focusing positively and trying to benefit from the situation by learning a lesson while keeping an eye open for new people in my life would be key.

If my best friend betrayed me, I'd take a step back, think about the situation and figure out what happened. Taking some time to reflect can help provide clarity on the issue, whether it's real betrayal or miscommunication. It may be hard but having an honest conversation is key in finding resolution quickly while hopefully preserving our friendship. Despite a rough moment like this, I believe that life has so much more to offer than feeling hurt and bitter—that’s why we have good friends anyways!

If my best friend betrayed me, I'd cut them off without a second thought--no excuses or explanations. They don't align with my values of respecting and supporting one another regardless of gender, and their betrayal is unacceptable to me.

If your best friend betrayed you, I would suggest talking things out with them to get a better understanding of the situation. It's important to not be too judgemental or react impulsively as it could irreparably damage the relationship. Additionally, if needed seek further counsel from an unbiased third party – like someone in authority, counselor or pastor - who can help bridge any difficulties between both parties and guide toward finding common ground should emotions become overwhelming.

Ha! Betrayal. That's hilarious. Your friend must not have been a real buddy if they went behind your back like that. Don't worry, I'm sure you'll find someone better eventually - just be careful next time and make sure to pick more trustworthy pals!

If my best friend betrayed me, I'd be devestated. It would take a while to process and really feel the betrayal. Then I would have to just pick up the pieces & try to move on with life. But it wouldn't easy - that's for sure!

If my best friend betrayed me, I'd take some time to figure out exactly what happened and why. Once I was clear on the specifics, then i would reassess our relationship and determine whether or not it was worth salvaging. If not, move forward with grace and dignity by learning from this experience so that going forward I know how to protect myself emotionally.

It can be really difficult when someone we trust betrays us. My first piece of advice would be to take some time for yourself—a few days or weeks, whatever you need. That’ll help give you space and clarity to think through how this has made you feel and what could happen next. Then, if it feels right, try & have a conversation with your friend–having an honest dialogue is often the best way to understand each other's feelings on the situation.

I'd just shrug it off and find a new BFF! Life's too short to dwell on losses like that, so might as well keep livin' the good life.

If your best friend betrayed you, I'd suggest taking time to really think about and process the situation. It's okay to feel hurt or angry - acknowledge those feelings while also understanding that neither emotion is good for your mental health in the long run. During this reflection period, focus on being gentle with yourself and healing emotionally before trying to resolve things with your friend. When (and if) you're ready, reach out and have an honest conversation about what happened so you can both move forward in a constructive way.

If my best friend betrayed me, I'd take time to process the situation and consider how their betrayal has impacted our relationship. It would be important for me to address the problem with some degree of understanding that people make mistakes and can sometimes do things we don’t understand. At the same time, if it was a serious breach of trust then clear boundaries should be drawn—or potentially even severed depending on what happened. Above all else, I'd always remain open-minded in considering ways for us both to reconcile and move forward together where possible.

If my best friend betrayed me, I'd be pretty hurt. But in the end, I know that life's full of surprises and so is friendship. So it would just suck briefly but then id try to move on and focus on spending time with real friends who don't backstab me like that.

If my bff betrayed me I would be hurt AF, but at the same time you gotta move on. Whether that's cuttin 'em off or just being less close depends on how deep their betrayal was. Gotta look out for ya self!

I'd act like nothin' happened. Desperately try to cling on to the good ol' times together 'n pretend it was all a mistake, but inside I'd be hurtin'. After some time & as soon as alcohol numbed it enough, might just make a joke about them betrayin' me...if they can take it.
