do you know which of your friends will betray you?

In my experience if you come up with a nickname for your friendship, even something as awesome as the Mega Powers, it is usually not going to last.
Regarding the OP, I must be lucky.
I have never been betrayed by a friend. I have seen other friends betray or fuck over each other but its never happened to me. If you hang out with shitty people you have to expect that eventually they are going to do something shitty.
The only way to have healthy, rewarding, betrayal-free friendships is to demand blood-oath loyalty at all costs. None of this "empathy" nonsense. Friendship poison, that stuff is!
If you have to ask...........you don't even know it already happened.
A friend of mine who was also my flatmate at the time betrayed me last year - it be ya own 😖
😂😂
I'm in my 30s. There's not a single person I consider a friend that would ever betray me, and I wouldn't betray them. The filtering at this point is too strong. I have plenty of acquaintances and neighbors and family members that would probably throw me to the wolves, though.
Lol, you joke, but some of us just seem to have a worse time of it with friends. Most likely, it's all the abusive family interaction I was subjected to growing up which has adversely affected my ability to choose the right friends. More often than not, I find myself in largely one-sided relationships. I have such a sunny, optimistic disposition by nature, I always want to think the best of people. Even the "troubled" type--probably, especially so, considering I'm pretty troubled myself. Inevitably, I get hurt over and over again, but somehow seem to lack the instinct for developing healthy defense mechanisms in response. Anymore, I've had to resort to extreme pessimism and suspicion of new people I meet, simply as a means of self-preservation. Keeping people at arm's length is just about the only way I've found yet to keep from getting continually hurt.
In fact, met up just yesterday with a longtime Facebook friend of mind whom I'd only briefly met in person a handful of times. (We were doing a "socially-distanced" trail hike, remaining min. 10ft. apart the whole time.) Purely automatically, I began to open myself up to her in a very generous manner, sharing certain vulnerabilities, far in excess of anything I've ever allowed myself to do with her online. I just don't seem to be able to help it. The moment I left for home, I pledged myself to basically ghost her for at least the next little while.
Well Idk about 'closest friends' but i've been betrayed by a friend way in the past when we were in our mid teens but at the same time i was also pretty naive trusting him that he'd help me get acquainted on a deeper level with my crush in school. Turns out, he circumvented me and just went straight up went direct with her. Adding insult to injury, she later on felt pretty attracted to him and it was then where i had the first case of seeing someone who's looking at another person but with 'love' possibly. Those times really hurt me in different ways and i've learned my lesson big time since then. Well the silver lining at least is that she didn't end up with him but yeah i have nearly forgotten about the girl but still haven't forgotten the betrayal. I might be unfortunate in the sense that i've come face to face with one of the most scummiest people in the world and even had people who seemed ok irl but had very troubling moments with me but yeah, such is life LOL.
I have only one very close friend. Based on our chat logs, destruction is mutually assured if either of us ever resorted to betrayal.
I fell into a friend group when I was younger. Real nice dudes, always treated me nicely, and I got along with everyone. Even led to me getting my first girlfriend. The "Leader" of the group was this really good looking guy with long, almost silver hair. We pretty much became best friends and I trusted him with everything. The two of us relied on each other for everything. Eventually things took a turn for the worse when he fell for a girl that he shouldn't have and ended up in trouble with some not so nice people. Me and the rest of the group got him out of trouble, but things were never really the same after that. He ended up sacrificing most of the group to a bunch of super powerful demons to gain power and that was pretty fucked up. Ended up cutting contact with him. I never saw it coming
One reason Facebook can be harmful. FOMO being based on the fear that by missing out on activity lessens your value to the group. So you become jealous for no real reason than your vanity needs checked.
I don't make friends with those types of people anymore, so none!
If you asked me this question 15 years ago though, all of them

Well at the end of my high school graduation I had quite a large falling out with my friend group so I cut off all contact with anyone and I mean anyone that I knew from my high school. It's been 9 years since then and I don't believe that anyone has even attempted to contact me so I guess was right in cutting everyone out. So as of this stage no friend can betray me as I don't have any and I plan to keep it that way.
