Give the questioner a simple hug. It's okay, this isn't your problem. You don't need to punish yourself for someone else's mistakes.
1. You can really get to know someone through one little incident!
It's natural to want to protect someone from getting involved with the wrong person. But sometimes, we can only see clearly after experiencing something ourselves. So, at the beginning, the questioner told her best friend about her conflict with the other person. She was looking for understanding and support.
However, the other person didn't keep the matter confidential. They also made the whole thing public, which caused the OP a lot of harm. It's understandable that the OP is a bit world-weary and has developed a distrustful attitude towards everyone around her.
I'm really sorry to hear that their teasing has caused you another layer of hurt. But you know what? You can reflect on what you did wrong in the previous handling process, or what your own problems are, and pay attention to them in the future to avoid making the same mistake.
2. Don't worry, there's no need to give up the whole forest for a single blade of grass!
It's so easy to see things as good or bad, but they're not always that simple. Lots of people just want to know what's going on, but they don't always get the full picture. And then there are those casual comments we all make sometimes, before we really understand what's going on.
Take, for instance, the current state of the news and social media. It's become quite common for events to unfold in unexpected ways. So, it's important to be careful about what we believe and accept that what someone says might not be the absolute truth. The person who asked the question simply chose to block others, which is a perfectly valid way to handle a tricky situation.
I'd like you to think about this: if your best friend encountered such a situation, would you casually change your opinion of them based on their word alone? How much energy would you devote to someone you don't know well?
It's a great idea to leave someone who's hurting you. But remember, the world isn't full of just one type of person. Learn to be at peace with yourself and try to open your heart.
I may be a small frying pan, but I love you, world, and you love me, too!

I can't believe how quickly my secret spread, it felt like the whole world turned against me overnight. Sitting behind them in class, I could only listen to their laughter at my expense, and it broke me inside. I didn't know who to trust anymore, so I just pulled away from everyone.
It's been hard ever since that day in September 2013. My own friend betrayed me, and suddenly, the gossip was everywhere. I couldn't face them, not when they were mocking me right there in class. I thought maybe if I distanced myself, the pain would go away, but it never did.
That incident changed everything for me. One moment we were friends, the next I was the subject of everyone's jokes. I remember sitting in class, feeling so small as they laughed about what happened. I felt like I had no choice but to isolate myself, fearing that they'd think I was crazy for cutting ties with everyone.
I felt so betrayed after my close friend shared my private matter with everyone. The following days in class were unbearable, hearing them talk and laugh about me. I began to doubt my own judgment and worried that people thought I was unstable for reacting the way I did. It led me to withdraw from everyone.
When I found out my friend had told everyone, it was like a nightmare. In class, I was forced to sit there and hear them make fun of me. I started to believe that all the nice things they said were just an act, and that scared me. I decided to cut off contact because I feared they would see me as mentally unstable.
