When was the last time your friends betrayed you?

I do not like to say anything about my friends or family because they are very important to me. I just want to say damn you never know about online friendships. This is not the best choice. Real people are better.
My friends always betray me. (Not like this. But in a fun way, when I won't get hurt) (Sometimes I betray them too!) But it's just for the moment, not forever.

That's why friends are the worst people in your life. Even worse than your enemies.
I had a friend who got jeolous of my other friend and started downvoting her posts in the forum then she try to get attention at the chat when I'd blocked her she then disturbing me and annoying me in the forums finally I made peace with her but I have a bad feeling that she will start again.

I'm somewhat concerned by your post. The following is meant to be helpful, not critical:

Firstly, the post sounds almost as though it is intended to incite a reaction, leading to a falling out. If you have truly made peace with him or her, then there is no reason to fear another falling out-- and certainly no reason to "poke the bear," so to speak.

Secondly, it seems to me that the feud started because you chose to prioritize one friend's opinion over another. How do you know your friend was jealous? Did they admit as much to you? Was there perhaps another cause?

When friends fight, it's best to make yourself scarce until it all blows over. Is it the coward's way out? Perhaps. But true friends don't make you fight for them. True friends understand that their fighting puts you in a bad place, and will try to respect your position.

Thirdly, downvoting in the forums is usually not done with malicious intent. I typically see it being done as a form of negative feedback (which is its intended purpose) or as a form of retaliation. Typically, open lines of communication tend to resolve the latter; if someone understands why another person feels the need to retaliate, then they are able to defend themselves, apologize, or modify their behavior, within reason.

I do know that you and at least one of your friends have had, shall we say, "unique" experiences with the lichess downvote system in the past, so I would advise you to not put as much stock into reactions. There's a reason I almost never click the emojis-- it leads to too much consternation.
Girls are weird people. They may be friends with you at first, but when they find someone better than you, they leave without stopping unless they really love you.
