BEEN LET DOWN?
‘Betrayal in a friendship can take many forms, but it usually involves a breach of trust,’ says positive psychology coach Elle Mace*. Common signs could be:
✢ Sharing confidential information ✢ Breaking a promise ✢ Lying ✢ Stealing or damaging property ✢ Disloyalty ✢ Not being there when needed ✢ Spreading rumours
