Is it worth confronting the friends who betray you?

Few things hurt like being messed around by somebody you thought you were on good terms with. There are people out there who are very skilled at pretending to be friendly just so they can use you for their convenience, and even the most shrewd of individuals get tricked by them from time to time. It dents your pride, and it hurts your feelings, leaving you with no choice but to reevaluate a relationship that you thought was solid.

Many would argue that when something like this happens, the best thing to do is to walk away. However, there are many different scenarios in which this isn’t possible, and you have no choice but to face up to this person day after day. It goes without saying that this can be pretty awkward to do with somebody who has unapologetically screwed you over. It is one of those situations that no lesson in being an adult feels like it prepares you for. Balancing between confrontation and keeping the peace is near impossible at times. It can be the case that the only easy way out comes with some form of further sacrifice.
