Betrayed by a Trusted Friend

I trusted my best friend with my money… and I instantly regretted it. We’d been friends

for over ten years. He called me one night, panicking, saying he was about

to get evicted. I loaned him 1,200 dollars. No contract. No deadline.

Just trust. A few weeks later, I opened Instagram… and saw him posting hotel rooms,

cocktails, and a beach vacation. When I asked about the money, he said:

“Relax, we’re friends. Don’t be dramatic.” Two days later, he blocked me everywhere.

So tell me… was I naive for trusting him, or did he completely take advantage of

me?
