Not kill them or do serious harm but if you had the chance to do voodoo and get back at those who wronged toy would you do it and you get to watch them in a crystal ball in pain?

I know it sounds cruel but I would, I've being wronged so many times by bullies and it would delight me to get revenge.

Never. Revenge is much more fun if it doesn't include deliberate violence or pain.

What about tapping the foot of the doll lightly with the pin? I think that watching them hop up and down, taking off and putting back on their shoe because they think that there's a stone in it would be very entertaining.

Oh I could get on board with minor irritating voodooing!

No. I've got a lot of faults but I'm not vengeful. And the people who made you suffer also thought it was justified by their own suffering. Nobody thinks they're the bad guy.

What about pulling them backwards so they miss the bus? Playing an alarm clock next to them 10 mins before they need to get up?

I’d never mess with that sort of stuff. Whether you’re superstitious or not, it messes you up.

If you believe in that kind of stuff, then you should also know that some people say it backfires big time. If you don’t believe in it, then on a psychological level, it will damage you.

As someone once said: ‘Resenting someone is like drinking poison yourself, but hoping the person you resent gets poisoned’

The safest way to deal with bullies and ignorant people is to try and cut them out of your life and not allow them to make you stoop to their level. If you can’t avoid them being in your life, then work on strategies to minimise their importance to you: what someone says can’t hurt you unless you give it and them importance. So work on your strengthening your own mind and character, and on seeing them for the insignificant beings they are.

No, not at all, it wouldn't make me feel better.

HappyMe6 · 22/04/2023 15:04

No never felt the need to get revenge! Revenge for me would be getting on with my life, I would never touch a voodoo bloody doll.

Yes but then I asked if DNA would still be left, on the, ‘what would you do if you were invisible for a day’ thread.

I don’t pretend to be a good person.
