Deep dives

Understanding Betrayal

Betrayal is a profound violation of trust, marked by the exploitation of vulnerability. When a person opens up and reveals their weaknesses, a betrayal occurs when that information is mismanaged or weaponized against them. It’s emphasized that betrayal is not just a moment of hurt; it can lead to a sense of isolation akin to being in solitary confinement. The pain associated with betrayal can distort one’s perception of relationships, fostering an environment where distrust and bitterness thrive.
