Behind that friendly, "I'll be your best friend" persona lies an individual who will stab you in the back at the first chance they get. They could be your family. Your friends. Your co-workers at the office. They could be the very people who claim they love you and would be willing to do anything in the world for you. Is it all a lie? Can these people ever truly be trusted? Or do we need to sever ties with them at the first chance we get?
