Takeaways

You can love someone and they can still betray you. Betrayal can come from those you trust the most. It's important to learn from past betrayals without letting them affect future relationships. People often lie to maintain their own interests. Friendship should be built on trust and honesty. Not everyone you consider a friend has your best interests at heart. Sometimes, losing a liar can create space for better relationships. You can still treat others well despite past betrayals. Learning to recognize deceit can help protect you in the future. It's essential to move on from toxic relationships.
