Quick answer

Cold cut, scorched earth, karma-watcher, petty, win, let-go. The 6 ways people get even — find out which is yours.

Everyone has one. 24 honest items, one verdict on what you actually do when you've been wronged.

24 items, 4 per style, 5-point Likert. Dominant-style scoring across six revenge tactics.

Cold Cut · Block-delete-disap: Block, delete, disappear. They get nothing — not even a goodbye text.
Scorched Earth · Receipts everywhere: You bring proof to the group chat. Then to Twitter. Then to LinkedIn. Damn.
Karma Watcher · Popcorn-and-wait: You don't lift a finger. You just sit, sip, and watch the universe collect.
Petty Operator · Microaggression art: You unfollow, mute, screenshot, and leave messages seen on purpose.
Living-Well Winner · Glow-up = receipt: Your glow-up is the receipt. The post is the closing argument. Iconic.
Let-Go-er · No rent-free tenants: They don't live in your head rent-free. They were evicted, with kindness. Rare.
