Redditors Share Revenge Stories Where People Were Hurt Far More Than What Was Originally Intended
They did not expect things to turn out worse.
No matter how much you were hurt, revenge is simply not the right thing to do. It might feel good at the moment, but ultimately, it will only make things worse for both parties in the end.
Revenge isn't going to change the past. No matter how satisfying it might feel to get revenge on someone, it's not going to alter what happened.
Often, revenge leads to further anger and conflict. When you take revenge, the person you're hurting usually wants to retaliate.
This can cause an ongoing cycle of hurt and resentment. You might even end up hurting yourself in the process.
It makes you feel worse, too. Instead of making you feel better, it often leads to more anger, anxiety, and depression.
You might find yourself obsessing over the person who hurt you, which can lead to a lot of negative emotions. So if you're looking for ways to resolve conflicts, revenge isn't the answer.
Today, we're looking at how Redditors got their revenge. But these are not just mere revenge stories.
A user named Livyzmy wanted to hear stories with a twist. So she asked this question.
Have you ever purposefully tried to get revenge on someone only to realize it hurt them far worse than you intended? If so, what did you do?
The question was posted in the Ask Reddit community.

Acts of Revenge Are Never Worth It.
Both sides become victims. So it's better not to stoop to the level of those who wronged us.
We can find better ways to deal with our anger and hurt—ways that won't damage us emotionally or physically in the long run. We just need to be patient and look for them.
