Is it normal i like payback...

Im good at letting friends take advantage of me for a short period of time and after their time expires I act like them and start doing what they do to me so if you play bad I play bad is it normal??? I tend to lose friends this way.... Its like a natural feeling of wanting to payback it happens when their actions make me feel too inferior or make my ideas look silly...

  • That is pretty immature.

    Honestly I don't see why everyone's so self righteous about this. It's their fault if they wanna dish it out but cant take it. He's only returning the favour. Somebody has to let them know how it feels. 100% normal.
    Turning the other cheek just turns you into a door mat in this day and age.

    Your issue is letting them take advantage of you in the first place. If you just stood your ground then maybe they would respect you enough to not do that.

    Good 4 u! eye 4 an eye! And they're problablly not real friends either. Sounds like a bunch of users. Because if they were really your friends that wouldn't do that shit.

    Vengeance is an awesome feeling, but always keep your eyes on what is truly important to you. Do you value friendships over temporary satisfaction? I would also ask yourself, do you have place any real value in people who would betray you? You probably should not.

    Yeah I know, professionals get so tired of us. Done 5 sessions of CBT and apparently I was high risk so due to start DBT soon. Problem is my traits are so deep seated, I can't imagine being a normal person anymore.

    Will try take DBT serious if I can, if not fuck it.

  • Revenge really can be an art. I'm a big fan of it at times.

    That being said...paybacks should only be reserved for cases when you've been up front and honest with the perps, but they're assholes anyway. If you let people walk on you but remain silent, then execute vengeance, that's just creepy.

  • Why don't you choose friends that don't do things to you that you feel the need to "pay back" for?

    I feel you there... I really do but, it seems to me you're wasting your time and energy on this bullshit. These so called friends that you allow to take advantage of you sound very much like users and users tend to not take too kindly to being used themselves which of course is probably why friendships with them tend to fizzle out after you turn the proverbial tables.

    Why not save yourself a lot of time, trouble, hassle and probably some money as well by doing your best to steer clear of people who attempt to take advantage of you? You can choose to befriend people who like you for you not for what favors you can do for them and learn to enjoy your own company in the meantime. It's no use trying to beat them at their own game.

    The problem with this is that you will be just waiting for someone to not think the same way that you do and then you have to piss them off. You will not have many people that will call you a friend. Which is sad. Hope you rethink your actions.

    "I tend to lose friends this way...." Kinda says it all, doesn't it?
    If that's the way you've chosen to spend your life, well, I don't think anyone on here is going to change your mind.

      It's understandable to want to do that but I expect the Karmic repercussions would be quite high. Are you sure that your a Schizoid psycho and not a Borderline Personality disorder psycho? No offense, I'm just curious.

        Yeah i am BPD sociopath thats my official diagnosis, but I made this name ages ago. I don't believe in karma so I'm not too stressed about repercussions. Plus I've suffered/suffering enough in my life right now, so I will happily inflict pain on anyone who provokes me.

          Have you done any cognitive behavioral therapy like Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) or Systems Training for Emotional Predictability and Problem Solving (STEPPS) for your BPD?

          Borderline Personality Disorder doesn't have to be as hopeless as as most people would have you think. Also alot of so called professionals are biased by their own experiences which can result in counter transference against patients. Not every mental health professional is cut out to work with Borderline patients.
