Is revenge really worth it?

If you retaliate it will drag on the ordeal even longer. Trust me when I tell you that really and truly the best revenge is to have a good life. You'd be surprised how it eats people up inside when they see that you could care less about what they are doing and that they have ceased to exist in your world. Try venturing outside of your small town more often. When you expand your world things like that won't bother you because you're too busy making new friends, having a good time and in general just loving life.

It's only worth it if you have something to gain from it. You don't want people talking smack about you knowing you aren't going to stand up for yourself. Most people in a small town know everyone else in town and what their reputation is, so I wouldn't worry too much about it, let it go. If it continues to happen or gets worse then you might consider doing some revenge (as long as you know it will fix the current situation).

i assume it relies upon on what you're attempting to get out of it. Revenge is in lots of circumstances consistent with harm thoughts and we are in lots of circumstances thinking approximately revenge whilst our techniques is clouded with anger, for this reason no stable plan/determination could be made this form. comparable destructive thoughts can besides the shown fact that be controlled and paintings as a gas for a plan wherein the different celebration isn't harm back yet particularly 'knowledgeable' in spite of if a sort of functional comedian tale or 'play' of a few type is orchestrated to fulfill that prefer. the belief is to assist the guy who harm you to verify the international from the quite a few attitude, to hook up with the way you felt once you have been wronged via them. while you're merely after hurting them and seeing them go through - it in lots of circumstances never ends nicely and never lasts long.

No. It will only make it worse. I live in a small town, too. People know me. I'm well liked. No one would believe any negative gossip. People in small towns love to gossip, but they tend to get curious and ask you about it eventually.

I remember a rumor that went around that I was pregnant with my boss's baby. When people would ask me, I told them, "No! I just gained 10 pounds, thanks a lot! Why would I sleep with him? I've got a boyfriend." That shut them up. I WAS pregnant, but it was nobodies business. With my boyfriend's baby, in case you were wondering. I later lost the baby, so it's better that no one knew for sure.

no its not,, but it does make you angry to hear things that are not true., They have nothing better to do with there life's, But if i was you and i seen any of the co-workers and ex boss ,,,I would approach them and give them a little something to hear and just put them in there place ,,You know with your ex co-workers and ex boss ,,it just shows that they are not close to professional people,, its like kids and they have not grown up just yet ,,and i would give them a piece of my mind but in a professional way ,,,so they get the point maybe if i was younger I would act in a way that would not be very good but as you get older you learn allot about things like this.

In a small town like you live in, revenge is not really worth it, its gonna end up coming back to you anyways. Just enjoy your promotion (btw... congrads) and laugh it off. They will get what's coming to them anyways.

really you gotta think about how 2 wrongs dont make a right. I don't think you should get back at them, but tell them how you feel and that you would appriciate it if they would knock it the hell off.

yeah it will be worth it cause first of all you have a better job than them so people will mostly listen to you, if they say that you are just jealous, people will know they are lying cause why would you be jealous when you are in a better position then them

It's never worth it. It makes you as petty and immature as the other person. It's always better to be the bigger person and let it go.

No, It's not worth it. All is does is cause bigger problems and more conflict between people. What goes around comes around. don't forget that.
