Have you ever had a friendship with the opposite gender as you that you trusted implicitly, then they turned on you?

Some people you tell things to, not bad things, and you trusted them only to have them wrongly accuse your mindset many months later and use what you told them against you?
Since overexplaining yourself doesn't change their thoughts, and they have already made up their mind about you, you have no choice but to let them believe what they want to, which makes them feel that they are right about you.
Do you think this is true?

No, I had a very important friendship with somebody I knew in college. She was engaged to my roommate and when they broke up I stayed friends with her. He did a lot of things together. We went to concerts and sporting events or sometimes we just roamed around town. She really was my best friend for a while. She went away to grad school and I never heard from her again.

Thanks for the MHO

No that hasn’t happened I’m sorry you’re having bad luck, on here but you must remain strong

@Iron_Man

You don't have to be concerned about me being strong because that's my middle name.
I don't need anyone who has lost touch with reality and is cruel on top of it.
Some people can only be fake and act like they are a good guy for so long, but eventually the real person they truly are comes out and they aren't who I thought they were and to that I say a big NO THANKS!!
I am happy as usual, and I am living very peacefully now!
Hope you're doing well!! 🙂

I know that you’re strong things happen in life and we must remain strong and you’re doing good

Thanks for the award Sage. I appreciate it.

Yeah, I think that happens sometimes—it’s really tough when someone you trusted uses what you shared against you. Overexplaining rarely helps because once someone has made up their mind, it’s hard to change it. The best you can do is stay true to yourself and let go of trying to control their thoughts.

@sage2021 Yes, and it was very disappointing. We COULD have been lovers at one point, even though she was married. She was struggling with her weight, and I invited her to my YOGA class, thinking that might help.

In my YOGA class, she corrected me in front of the class, about some comment I made about the noise from an adjoining building. I got in her face for that, and she has acted like a 'spanked child' ever since.

I believe we all have.

As we age, people will do and say shit to make themselves feel superior to others.

Fuck them, who cares. Move forward and onward.

That's all you can do.

I have indeed. One ex-wife and (!) a former Christian pastor. He was corrupted by his wife. Jealousy for multiple reasons.

I guess I choose my friendships better than my lovers.
