What do you do? Do you feel the need to get even? Do you react right away? Do you think about it later, and then get angry?
I find it very difficult to deal with it in a way that makes me feel good about myself.... It seems like a no-win situation. If I get mad- it's like they've won. If I get even, I feel guilty.
There have been a few times that I've got even in sneaky ways, but then I'm always on the lookout for their retaliation.
If I don't do anything, then I feel like a sap who doesn't stand up for himself. And I'm afraid I'm setting myself up for more of the same.
Does anyone else ever think about these issues?
Do you feel the need to resolve the situation, or do you just forget about it soon afterward?
