I moved on by making new, better connections, reconciling with the in-game relationships they attempted to tear apart, and moving on with my IC story and OOC psyche, and it has been much healthier for me in general.
My advice would be try to find the positive in the situations. If someone really turns on your suddenly or is knowingly setting up the conditions for rampant dramamongering, that is not really someone that should not really be wanted in your IC and OOC life, and was never really a friend to begin with.
Just keep trying to be the best person you can be, that is what I do, at least, and it seems to have worked quite well.
I think real experience says more than any theory.. *hugs*

I strive to emerge from such an ordeal with my dignity intact, however and simply take the very firm stance of cutting off all contact with those who directly harm either myself or those that I care about.
I do, however, worry that I come across as frigid at times. I'm rather guarded these days since in the past when I revealed my tender side and more about my real life it was exploited and taken advantage of.
If it is malicious I agree, but often things fall apart and all are hurt. There is no fault just regret.
