Aside from the direct consequences of deceit, the negative events that have happened to you can have a lasting impact on your mental and emotional health. Someone whose trust or well-being has been affected by people or institutions can develop betrayal trauma, Verywell Mind stresses.
Someone who suffers from betrayal trauma can develop symptoms like depression, dissociation, emotional dysregulation, difficulty concentrating, and trust and relationship issues.
In some cases, they might even experience physical pain or gastrointestinal issues. They’re also more likely to have issues with eating disorders and substance misuse.

from 1932 to 1972, the u.s. public health service told a group of poor black men they were getting free treatment for “bad blood.” they weren’t. they had syphilis, and the whole point was to watch what happened if it went untreated.
penicillin became a cure in the 40s. they still didn’t treat them. they even stopped some of them from getting it elsewhere.
these men trusted doctors and the government, kept showing up thinking they were being helped, while they were literally being studied as they got sicker.
went on for 40 years. only stopped bc it got exposed.

Betrayal trauma can occur in practically any relationship, for example, with your parents, friends, coworkers, romantic partners, etc.
You can also experience what’s known as institutional betrayal. In this case, the institution that you trust fails to either prevent or appropriately respond to wrongdoings by other people.
Healing and moving on from betrayal can be a difficult, time-intensive process that might require a mental health specialist’s support.

In a nutshell, healing from betrayal begins with acknowledging that it has happened. You have to be honest with yourself about what happened and how it has impacted you.
“Confronting the trauma you experienced in the past can bring up a lot of emotions, including grief, fear, anger, regret, loss, and anxiety. It’s important to process these emotions so you can start healing,” Verywell Mind advises.
It’s important that you don’t isolate yourself after being betrayed. Don’t be afraid to reach out for help, whether from a friend or a therapist.
Later, begin to set stronger boundaries with the people who have broken your trust. That way, you’ll be in a better place to protect yourself. What’s more, it’s vital that you recognize negative patterns of behavior.
“If you have experienced betrayal trauma in the past, it’s important to recognize whether it’s affecting your relationships in the present. Understand that you deserve to have relationships that are mutually supportive and beneficial.”

Astronauts know their job, their mission, and the risks that may lie behind it, but Laika was basically put into a space shuttle and sent into space to wait alone for her end, just to prove that the Soviet Union was superior to the United States.

Rather than making this research public, Exxon pivoted in the 1990s to funding climate denial campaigns, lobbying against climate regulations, and publicly casting doubt on the scientific consensus, even while internally acknowledging the risks their own research had identified.

It was the Nawab of Bengal vs the East India Company.The nawab heavily outnumbered the EIC forces,but his general Jafar betrayed him and many of the nawab's forces switched sides.
This led to the first ever EIC victory on Indian soil.They got Bengal and thus it started the domino effect that led to the colonialisation of India.

Or translating from Greek:
“And you,my child?”
Aka the more actuate last words of Julius Caesar. Shakespeare made up “et tu, Brute”. I had a history professor who explained that Caesar was basically saying “You’re next, kiddo.” And he was right. The Roman people turned against them hard.
Another possible last words were “Why, this is violence!” Or “What is this? Such violence against Caesar!”
Basically, if the historian liked Caesar, Caesar didn’t say anything while he was stabbed because he was a tough cool Roman. If the historian hated Caesar, Caesar was a total drama queen and gave a whole speech.
