How many people out there would try to even up a score with someone

Most of the time if someone has badmouthed me I leave it alone. There have been many times I would of loved to even the score! I don't because sometimes if you get back at a person then they will try to bad mouth again! Some people never learn either! So leaving it alone is the best!

Hi Joystick. If someone was to bad mouth me I would consider the source. It says in the bible that God don't like a person that gossips. So I would take that into consideration. I would tell the person that they should say things to my face if they have a beef with me. I bad mouth my sister in law but everyone knows that I am telling the truth. She lied on me a couple of years ago and said she was going to whoop my bottom, I told her to bring it on. She backed down and everyone knew she was lying. So take it with a grain of salt and realize the ones that are talking bad about someone they usually don't have much back bone. Anyone that wants to talk bad about me had better be able to back it up or face me with the lies. I know I am a good person and don't spread untruths. Don't have too! Don't take anything from anyone God created us all equal if they can't be good then move on and let them wallow in their lies. One day it will all come back to them. Christians aren't second hand citizens we don't give ground we take ground! You can order all evil from you in the name of the LORD Jesus Christ. Luke 10:18-19 God gives us power over all evil in Jesus name!

Hi joystick, I hope that I would be able to let it drop but it's never easy.Letting it go is always best because otherwise it will just become a vicious circle and people will get hurt. Think about it, is it really that important to satisfy your ego? Blessings.

I am a very vengeful person so I would probably want to get back at someone for justice sake if nothing more. It would depend on the situation. If someone was bad mouthing me to other people I would first consider the source and I would go to them and talk to them. Life is too short to be so immature.

There are many people who have hurt me, but they are not aware of having hurt me. Because, I never said that, if they have hurt me. I did not do anything to the person who hurt me. I also did not return, what they have done to me. Because, I do not want to be like them.

Bad mouthing depends. If the person is telling a bunch of lies, then may be I would step in. If the person harms me so much that I cry in pain, and reveal it to some people, I wouldnt call that bad mouthing. It is more an appeal for help. As to getting even, it never stops, I am a grown up to figure that one out. Best alternative is to wait for the opportunity and destroy the credibility of the person. If we walk away in the initial stages of our dislike, chances are our anger, failure, and frustration would subside and let us face the truth. If not, we will give such feelings a permanent tenancy in our hearts, and heads, without any payment.

How many people who have been wronged can we set right?With people unknown to us once we interfere we have to be prepared for the repercussions.There is no question of returning a favour to a person who has bad mouthed us.It will only amount to encouraging such people to continue to bad mouth us.With those who have hurt us we show through our actions and words that they are not wanted.

I never believe in stooping to a persons level. I would be upset and will tell them that I do not appreciate their actions but I would not even a score with utilizing their same actions because then that would make me no better then them.

Yes i even up the score by fighting with my friend. Now we are not talking but previously he was my friend and one day we were on the way to the party. There his sister also present in the party. His sister was talking with someone who is a big enemy for him. Then he suddenly rushed towards them and he shouted at her means to his sister and he started fighting with that guy without verifying anything. Then i stopped them from the fighting and i infromed to my friend that without knowing anything why you are doing like let me ask what they are talking first. But my friend told that you are also supporting him, you are my enemy. So after saying those words i didn't say anything and i asked that girl who is my friend's sister then she told nothing just simply we were talking and even the guy admits to the same thing. Then i tried to convince my friend but suddenly he hit me then i got pissed off and i also gave him nicely and from that day he haven't talked with me.

I'm not going to badmouth someone behind their back and no generally I do not try to get "even" I do hold grudges at times sometimes forever but I have been working on that. Forgiveness is powerful and you feel so much better once you let things go, but I have a long way to go before I forgive some people and others I have forgiving, but badmouth someone behind their back because that is what they did to me. No why would I want to sink to their level?

hi joystick. I in most of the cases do not easily get involved in these situations.If i come to know that some is saying some thing wrong about me with some one else i wont let him go so easily i will go to him with that 3rd person & resolve issue in face as this is the method to resolve issue i suppose.
