How can one deal with a backstabbing friend?

Personally, I would cut them off immediately. There's no need to keep someone around who would stab you in the back.

First, you can try to talk to them. Maybe there was a misunderstanding. But if they deny it or continue to be backstabbing, then it's time to distance yourself. You should also surround yourself with positive people who support you and build your self - confidence so that such backstabbing doesn't hurt you as much.

First, give yourself time to feel the pain. Don't rush to forgive. Then, communicate if you can. But if the friend doesn't show remorse, it might be best to cut ties. For example, if they betrayed your trust over money, and they don't seem to care, move on.

Well, first of all, this is a very difficult situation, but if it's already happening, communication is key. All parties need to sit down and have an open and honest conversation about their feelings, expectations, and boundaries. However, it's important to note that this is still not a morally or socially acceptable situation in most cases.

There was this friend in my group. We were working on a project together. I did most of the research and came up with great ideas. But at the last minute, he took all the credit and told the boss that I was slacking off. It was a huge betrayal as I thought we were a team and friends. It cost me a promotion opportunity at work.

Sure. I had a friend named Jane. She and I were really close, or so I thought. We were both trying to get into a really prestigious club at school. I shared with her all my ideas for the application, including a very unique project I was planning. She then took my ideas, presented them as her own, and got into the club. I was devastated. However, a few months later, it was discovered that she had plagiarized some other work within the club. She was not only kicked out of the club but also lost a lot of respect from our peers. It was a clear case of karma. She thought she could get away with backstabbing me, but in the end, it all came back to haunt her.

If I hear a friends backstabbing story, I would first try to verify if it's true. I don't want to jump to conclusions based on just hearsay. If it is true, I might distance myself from the backstabber. I believe in loyalty in friendship.

One story is that my so - called best friend spread false rumors about me at school. She told everyone that I cheated on a test, which was completely untrue. As a result, I was ostracized by many classmates until the truth finally came out.

Personally, I would cut them off immediately. I don't need that kind of negative energy in my life.

One way is to communicate openly. Just tell your bossy friend how you feel. For example, say 'I appreciate your input, but I also want to have my say in things.'
