In life, there can be many reasons to be disappointed. We disappoint most of the time when we trust others and they break our trust. It says there is a hidden blessing even in the worst thing, and in case of disappointment, it's also the same. Each time we get disappointed, we learn some life lessons from it, and today I am going to share some of those with you.
I think most of us have the experience of getting betrayed by close people (friends, family, or relatives) when it comes to finance. People need financial help in many cases; several times we tried to help them by offering a helping hand. We have limited resources, and so we can just borrow them temporarily, but when it comes to returning them, they indirectly refuse to return the money to us. Such a kind of incident is very common. But I encountered such a situation only one time.
In the time I was in my first year of university, and honestly, I didn't have too much experience of real life even if I was grown up. Before the celebration of the festival, I went to the village, and all of a sudden one of my close friends asked me for money, and impulsively I said yes because he had never asked for money from me any time. He promised me to return it within two weeks, and I have no reason to doubt him, as he was one of my close friends when I was in the village school. Even after one month, I didn't bother him for the money, thinking that he might be going through a financial crisis. For a reason, I needed money, and I asked him for it. He played various kinds of melodrama for it. After a certain time, I felt like I was begging for money from him and realized that I felt humiliated for it. So, I didn't ask for the money again from him, and he never returned the money to me. When I met him, he acted like I didn't owe money from him, which was disappointing. My mother still taunts me for it sometimes. It was a lesson for me not to give money to anyone, no matter how close they are. If they get my money one time, I will lose control of my money, and it's uncertain I will get back the money. After that, I offered financial help only if it was an extreme emergency (still depending on the behavior of the person) or if it was a person with whom I have regular connections related to finance. So till now, I didn't betray for the second time, and I hope there will be no second time. In the case of big transactions, there must be paperwork, and there will be no chance of betrayal because in that case, they will face the consequences of it by law.
Let's talk about another disappointment. I was staying in one of my distant relative's houses for my study, and my father was abroad. Some of the actions of the relative were not good, and I felt bad for it. I shared it with my father. I told him not to tell that aunt about it, as it would bring some issues for me as I was staying there. Within a few days, my aunt knew about it, and I faced the issues as I expected. I only shared the issue with my father, and so I understood that my father said things to her for some reason that I didn't know. I know that my father is not such a person, and he shared that it means there must be a reason, but whatever it is, he broke my promise. It was the secret between me and him. I was heartbroken to realize it. I didn't say anything about it, and I didn't ask anything about it to him, but he shared the secret, which I said not to share, and it was wrong. It was hard for me to accept such an action from my father, but it was a lesson for me also. The lesson was my secret is a secret till that time before I share it with anyone. If I share it with another person, it can be revealed to others accidentally, impulsively, or intentionally. So it's better not to share secrets with anyone, no matter how close the person is. In my case, I don't trust anyone. I love to hide secrets, and I don't trust my parents in that case either. Honestly, I don't trust anyone for most of the things except me, and that's the truth. There are many things about me I hide from my parents also, and I don't think it's necessary for them to know. I want to be a solo warrior in that case. I am not putting trust in anyone, and so there is no chance of betraying or leaking secrets.

Thank you for sharing these personal stories and the valuable lessons you've learned from them. It takes courage to open up about experiences of disappointment and betrayal, especially when it involves people close to us.
Nobody wants to let other know about how they became fool in the past. So it's natural people don't share such kind of incident with anyone.
