One of the dangers of being back-stabbed by a close friend or co-worker is that you stop trusting people - in fact you can grow to dislike (even despise) people. This will often result result in isolation as you hide out from the world around you. This is unhealthy to say the least. I remember the first time I got back into the social scene after being shivved I felt the evening was a great success until I got home and realized I left my jacket at the party. I had a choice to make - I could isolate even deeper or I could find a way to use the knife in my back to be a help rather than a hindrance. Now I enter the soiree take off my jacket to reveal the tremendously metrosexual ensemble I have arrayed myself in and hang my jacket on the handle of the knife. Voila! No more digging through piles of jackets to find mine has been covered by someone trying to smuggle a pocketful limburger cheese out of the party.
