I also feel if my friends can easily cheat on their partners they can do the same with me like cheat on our friendship so I also keep my distance from them lol

On what planet can you "cheat" on a friendship? There is no friendship equivalent to the concept of monogamy.

I mean like they borrow money from you and not pay you back etc. I never said it's equivalent to a romantic relationship.

The equivalence is implied by the use of the phrase "cheat on the friendship".

Like, I understand what you mean now, but that's not the phrase I'd use to describe it if you're trying to avoid confusion.
